Prefatory
Following is one of my blog post
which I wrote for my blog and including here
primarily because this is in close relation
with this facility "World Sindhi Directory"
and also for many young Sindhis who might have
not read this.
After getting independence from the
British rule nation divided into two countries
namely Bharat [India] and Pakistan, as this
division was rooted with the concentration of
religious population, hence several lakh of
Hindu population, living since centuries and
many generation on the land, become part of
Pakistan, was forced to migrate India because
this was clear even before the partition that
new country is going to be land of Islamic
dominance. This partition proved very crucial,
painful and suffering for the Hindus specially
those were living in Sindh and Punjab area.
As for
as the Sindhis are concerned this partition
has worked as deadly killer factor for the
rich cultural and social heritage of the
community and Sindhi language, as in these
changes scenario, being a part of large
geographical region and in the status of
migrant Sindhis were forced to get a dispersed
status in India.
Migrant Sindhis were pursing hard for getting
back to economic roots and also factor of low
concentration of population was proving and
working as gradual venomous for the Sindhi
customs, traditions, culture, celebrations and
language, as a natural result, today, after
the 60 years of independence, a considerable
chunk of young sindhi population is not able
to speak and or write sindhi language, As at
the time of partitions, though majority of
sindhi population migrated to India but a few
families had opted other countries also.
Modern young sindhi population can't be blamed
for not knowing the sindhi language because
this is not their fault as they are born and
brought up in the linguistic atmosphere other
than Sindhi.
Sindhis
are among the most strongest business minded
communities of human world and have a very
high success ratio. Hard working nature,
proper and timely use of available knowledge
and resources along with presence of mind are
helping Sindhis in maintaining their world
leadership status in global business world. To
express business mind of Sindhis, I am quoting
an imaginary incident. Once in India, one
Sindhi and Chinese were traveling in same rail
comportment. All of sudden train passed
through a mosquito rich area, many mosquitoes
entered into compartment, Chinese person
killed a mosquito flying around his head and
have eaten it. In next few seconds another
mosquito started flying around the sindhi
head, fellow Chinese become curious for the
reaction of sindhi. nothing happen abnormal
sindhi also succeeded in killing the mosquito
like the Chinese, placed the killed mosquito
on hand palm and to surprise of Chinese
forwarded palm to him with the words "Hello
Sir, would you like to buy this".
Leaving
apart the social, cultural, political or
economic reasons for scattered sindhi
population we at "The Sindhu World" feel
immense pleasure in providing a communication
platform for the global Sindhis in this format
of "World Sindhi directory" with contact
details. Believing in usefulness of our
efforts in the form of collection of Name Data
base and hoping to receive constructive
comments from our visitors towards our vision
of making this portal virtual home of Sindhis.
