Pahinjo Kirdaar

Written and directed by Nikhil Katara and produced by Sindhi Saaz Foundation, Pahinjo Kirdaar is a theatre project based on oral histories of Sindhis collected over more than fifteen years by writer and oral historian Saaz Aggarwal. It transforms personal narratives into performance, using lived experience to illuminate little-known aspects of Sindhi history, culture and identity.

Together, these stories explore migration, memory, family, language, resilience and belonging while challenging the narrow stereotypes through which the Sindhi community is often viewed. The characters include freedom fighters, idealists, migrants, entrepreneurs, artists and ordinary individuals whose experiences reveal the richness and complexity of a community that lost its homeland during Partition.

Each performance concludes with an audience interaction that has become an integral part of the project, extending the conversation beyond the stage and allowing the work to continue evolving as it travels.
