The Insurgency in Sindh is an extremely low-level insurgency waged by Sindhi Nationalists against the government of Pakistan. Sindhi nationalists want to create an independent state called Sindhudesh.

Sindhi nationalists have allied up with Baloch nationalists over the years to counter Pakistan's security forces. Although, due to Sindh province’s growing middle class and educated youth the insurgency never gained popular support among the masses.
