Reshaping Socio-Political History: An Examination of Women's Influence in the Hur Movement of Sindh

Abstract

This research paper delves into the overlooked roles of women in the Hur Movement during British colonialism in Sindh. In this period, Sindh, under the leadership of Pir Pagara, fiercely opposed British policies, advocating for autonomy within the Indian subcontinent. The findings detail women's diverse roles as spies, healthcare providers, messengers, and influential figures, reshaping historical understanding. The study acknowledges its limitations but broadens its scope to enrich historical discourse. Using a historical mode of inquiry, the researcher primarily relies on secondary data sources, including scholarly articles, historical publications, newspapers, and different established narratives. It suggests further exploration into the diverse and multifaceted roles of women in other historical movements to enrich and broaden historical discourse. This study aims to maintain historical accuracy, promote social justice, and preserve collective memory. It seeks to honor the resilience and unwavering dedication of Hur women in their pursuit of freedom for their homeland.
