The Sindhudesh Revolutionary Army (Sindhi: سنڌوديش جي انقلابي فوج, romanized: Sindhudesh je Inqlabi Foj) abbreviated as SRA, is a Sindhi nationalist-separatist militant organization based in the Sindh province of Pakistan. It is supported, armed and financed by Baloch nationalist groups (such as the Baloch Raaji Aajoi Sangar, Balochistan Liberation Army, and Balochistan Liberation Front) as an organization for proxy warfare and instability in the Sindh province of Pakistan. It commonly targets and attacks infrastructure projects and economic infrastructure in Sindh, especially infrastructure linked to Chinese companies or individuals.[1]

The Sindhudesh Revolutionary Army has been involved in criminal activities since as far back as at least 2007 in Sindh capital Karachi. At first, attacks were confined to damaging ATM machines, power transmission lines and railway tracks, but gradually began to include attacking security forces, mainly the Sindh Police and Sindh Rangers deployed in Sindh. After a surge in attacks, Pakistan's Interior Ministry included the group, along with the Jeay Sindh Qaumi Mahaz, on its list of banned organizations under the Anti-Terrorism Act.[1][2]
