| Summary/Abstract |
This paper argues for the inclusion of ‘Sindhi Sikhs’—a minor group in terms of religion, language and number—into the archives of Partition, Sindh and Sikh scholarship. Terming this group as the ‘missing people’, we draw attention to contexts that might have made them slip through the cracks of the three archives. At a more fundamental level, the paper critiques the processes by which strait-jacketed definitions of a ‘Hindu’ or a ‘Sikh’ make invisible those who, in the logic of modern nations, appear to have oxymoronic identities. What role did Partition play in this matter? Did Partition cause further ruptures, and what kinds of negotiations did the Sindhi Sikhs undertake during and after Partition?

| Summary/Abstract |
Sindhi Hindus in India and Muhajirs in Sindh, both groups of refugees, came into conflict with local governments and communities in their adoptive countries. This essay compares the trajectories of these two groups and attempts to show how, despite certain superficial similarities, they were faced with diametrically opposite circumstances, and so employed differing strategies to create a new sense of identity for themselves. In this context, the cultural perceptions of the refugees—of both themselves as well as of the local communities—played a significant role.
