[edit] History
The WSI is a relatively new organzation founded on March Fourteenth,1997.It was established by memembers of the Sindhi Diaspora and continues to hire new contributers,members and volunteers through donations.
[edit] Political goals
The WSI favors genuine federalism and provincial autonomy based on the original covenant between the provinces of Pakistan, namely the Muslim League Lahore Resolution of 1940, which was the basis for the establishment for the state of Pakistan. This resolution envisaged full provincial autonomy for each of the federating units allowing the center to have control of currency, foriegn affairs and defence related communication. Over the last 60 years since Pakistan achived independance from British Rule, there has been a steady decline in the autonomy of the provinces with a corresponding increase in the powers of the central government; resistence to a strong center and promotion of Sindh's legitimate rights of self governence, linguistic and cultural rights has been the hallmark of the WSI's goals.
