 The movement for Sindhi language and identity led by Syed drew inspiration from the Bengali language movement.In post independence Pakistan, the strategy followed by the Pakistani state led Syed to come to a conclusion that the Sindhis would not be given due importance in the country.With his political base largely weakened after election, Syed later advanced his position towards openly demanding separation from Pakistan and the build-up of an independent Sindhudesh in his books "Heenyar Pakistan khey tuttan khappey" (Now Pakistan Should Disintegrate) and "Sindhu Desh — A Nation in Chains".
