You have no doubt read about Mr. L.K.Advani's autobiography published recently, in which he has quoted extensively from Return of the Aryans, which makes a great contribution to historical and cultural literature. You are also aware of the view of Sindhu Rattan, Ram Jethmalani, MP, formerly Minister of Law & Justice in India, who has called this book as a masterpiece, representing the common heritage of India and Pakistan, and indeed of the whole world.
It is not easy for everyone, particularly, the youth to afford to buy expensive books. We hope that these themes will give you much of the essence of the book. You can also call upon your nearby Libraries to stock this book as they have good budgets and get hefty discounts from publishers. We have written to you about it but have not had your response. Your contact with Libraries in this regard will strike a great blow for culture and we do hope to hear from you.

MAVERIC WITH CONSCIENCE RAM JETHMALANI-SINDH & SINDHIS
Chapter: SINDH AND SINDHIS
(From Ram Jethmalani's autobiography - A maverick with conscience -
Page 21 of the book)
I consider it appropriate to write something that gives our youngsters some knowledge of our distant origins and current achievements.
Sind is crossed from one end to the other by one of the mightiest rivers of North India. Like everything else in Sind, it is unique amongst the rivers of the world. Its uniqueness lies in its waywardness. Time and again, it has changed its course and justly earned for itself the nickname “Poorali”: the whimsical one.
The varying channels of the river destroyed all historical evidence of the people, the flora, the fauna and the landscape of the area through which it flowed. Europe fondly believed that history had started with the Greeks and that India was a dark continent inhabited by barbarians until their civilized cousins, the Aryans, brought to them the light of civilization. Its inference was shattered in 1924 by the breathtaking discoveries of Mohenjodaro and Harappa, a few hundred miles to the north of India. The excavation disclosed four or five superimposed cities with hundreds of slightly built brick houses and shops ranged along wide streets, as well as narrow lanes, rising in many cases to several floors. The evidence indisputably established, that during the third and fourth millennium BC, there existed in the area a very highly developed city life, houses with wells and bathrooms and an elaborate drainage system and a general condition of citizen’s superior to that prevailing in contemporary Babylonia and Egypt. Among the finds were household utensils and toilet outfits, pottery painted and plain, terracotta dyes, coins older than any previously known, seals engraved and inscribed with an unknown pictography, gold and silver bangles, earrings and necklaces and other jewelry, so well finished and so highly polished that they might well have come from a jeweler of today, rather from prehistoric house 5000 years ago. The deeper they dug the more advanced was the civilization, its art forms and its implements.
The arrogance of Europe and the fond assumptions that went with it were shattered within the course of one year. As in Europe so in the north-west of India, the marauding Aryans from the north with their stronger physiques, healthier appetites, the virile love of wine and women, skill and courage in war, swooped down the more civilized and correspondingly weakened inhabitants of the temperate zones – zones in which Nature was an ally and not a rival and therefore posed no challenge and evoked no emotional response. It is a mixture of the old and the new, synthesized into something more vital that confronted Alexander the Great when he entered Sindh as it presented itself the great Macedonian warrior.
This theory is now seriously challenged by scholars, who believe that Aryans were indigenous to India, who left their country in search of a revered spiritual entity, settled in various parts of the world and finally returned to their original home convinced that that is where they would discover their destiny. Bhagwan S. Gidwani’s book, “Return of Aryans” must be read by every Sindhi.
Within seven years after Alexander turned his back on India, Sind passed under the suzerainty of Chandragupta Maurya, a lesser warrior but certainly a better king than Alexander himself. Inder Ashoka, Sind got its fair share of the Buddhist influence. Buddha was a Kshatriya warrior and the Kshatriya never surrendered to the Brahmin his claim to superiority over the latter. Buddhism left a permanent trait in Sindhi society, prominent even when the British arrived. The Brahmin in Sind was a backward tribe. Never did he gain ascendancy in the intellectual or social hierarchy. As if to prove the point, the Shudra dynasty established its reign with the capital of Sind at Alor. Brahmin rule in Sind came only in the seventh century AD. It had but brief existence and was soon supplanted by the Islamic hordes under Mohamed Bin Qasim. For nearly three centuries, Sind remained the tributary of the Arab Khalifs. The Sindhi, however, acted with tremendous intelligence and shrewdness. Even when Mahmood of Ghazni conquered it, the real rulers were the local Muslims, the Sumras and the Samas. The capital shifted under the latter down south to Thatta.
The most glorious monarch of Indian history, Akbar the Great, was Sind’s contribution, both to the Mughal Empire and the country as a whole. Though here and there, a conservative Ullema of Islam was encountered in Sind, yet the dominant strain was provided by the gentle Sufi, who while not disowning Islam made Islam more consonant with the teachings of Hinduism, Christianity and that of the Greek philosophers.
The arid faith of Aurangzeb did not find a hospitable soil in Sind. It preferred the Darvishes with their music, dancing, drugs, ecstasy and illuminations. Doctrinally, their phana almost corresponded to Buddha’s nirvana and their ‘tawakul’ echoed total surrender to the will of God. It is under their influence that Sindhi literature made copious use of symbolic expression borrowed from the vocabulary of wine and love, including love that superficially resembles the homosexual.
The world famous Sind writer and teacher Popati Hiranandani wrote a book, Sindhis: the Scattered Treasure and the equally famous Nayantara Sahagal in reviewing it said,
All Indians are heir to the Indus valley civilization, But Sindhis are its natural heirs, coming from the region where it began and prospered, and made its mark in the ancient world as perhaps the most superior civilization of its day. Prof. Hiranandani’s book acquaints us with the living impact of this heritage, enriched by Arab and Persian influences, upon her community. She enables us to link the highly organized cities, the talented craftsmen and the seafaring merchants of 70000 years ago with the enterprising, cosmopolitan Sindhi we know, who ventures forth to all parts of the globe and feels at home everywhere.
This book will leave upon its readers two clear impressions. One is the secular outlook of the Sindhi, who draws his language, culture and inspiration from both Hindu and Muslim streams; the other is that the Sindhi has made the transition to modernity more successfully than most Indians. He cherishes his traditions, yet is, in every sense, a modern human being. Both achievements are more remarkable when we realize that, unlike any other Indian community, the Sindhis, since partition, have had no stretch of land to call their own.
Hiranandani’s is an apt introduction to her vivid and vigorous community. We need such a book for every linguistic group in India, not only so that we may better understand and appreciate our differences, but also that we can rejoice in multi-faceted heritage we are fortunate enough to possess.
I must add that to a people who practice the utmost religious toleration, the cry for the partition of the country on religious lines was naturally anathema. Jinnah’s poison had spread through the length and breadth of the country. The blood of the Sindhis rejected that poison much longer than any other section of the Indian nation. Sind stood out in mocking rejection of Jinnah’s two-nation theory. Up to the last, the resolution in favor of Pakistan could not be rammed down the throat of the Sind Legislative Assembly. A majority, though slender, kept it at bay and finally one of the greatest nationalist Mussalmans, Sind’s Chief Minister, the late Allah Bux Sumro, had to be shot dead by hired assassins to create majority.
Even while the country was divided, communal violence that took place was minimal in Sind and much of the violence that took place was precipitated by outside elements alien to Sind’s native catholicity and communal affection. When the Hindu parted from his Muslim brother, often tearful scenes were witnessed and as Pakistan plunged into economic backwardness and a military dictatorship, the Sindhi Muslim in melancholy and nostalgia wished for the return of his Hindu brother. The Hindu Sindhi immigrant in India has not likewise been able to obliterate his tender memories of the land of his birth. This, of course, does not apply to the younger generation, which has no such emotional ties with Sind. It is mainly those who were born and who lived in Sind, with their warm emotional ties with Sind, who are keen on perpetuating their emotions and their experience for the future generations.
The partition of India has been very much akin to the Jewish Diaspora 2000 years ago. The Sindhi Hindu has almost been relegated to the position of the wandering Jew. One must however recognize a major difference between the two situations. Though the Sindhi Hindu has encountered subtle discrimination and often pronounced hostility, he has not suffered the indignity and persecution of the Jews. But the emotional trauma of a people left without a land to call their own is just about the same.
The trauma has not been without its compensation. Like the Jew who has overcome his handicaps and made good in every inhospitable soil and clime, the Sindhi too has been spurred into bringing forth the best in him. Take almost any field of human endeavor and a Sindhi will be found who holds a candle to the very best. Successful Sindhis in trade, commerce, industry, medicine, law and almost every profession will make a fair sized directory. Some of them will qualify for inclusion in any high class ‘Who’s Who’.
Understandably, they have not made much impact in the field of politics. Small in number and thinly distributed all over the country, they have not been able to return members of their own community to the legislative bodies. Some have however got into local municipalities and Zilla Parishads and occasionally into State Assemblies. Currently, there are two in the Lok Sabha and one in Th Rajya Sabha.
Minorities have, as a rule, tended to support ruling parties and secure some measure of patronage and protection in return. The Sindhis have not been an exception. Partition and its ugly manifestations have however turned a significant number in the direction of the Jan Sangh and its successor, the Bharatiya Janata Party. The late Jairamdas Doulatram has been a typical Congress Sindhi and Lal Krishan Advani a typical Jana Sanghi. Each represents a dominant political influence. Both have been clean politicians, the very best of their kind. Advani held the post of India’s Deputy Prime Minister for some time.
Though no more with us, a reference to the late revered Acharya JB Kripalani is imperative. He lived for almost a hundred years and always stood out as a tower of moral strength to all who stand for democratic decency and constitutional propriety.
Many Sindhis have settled down in different and far-flung parts of the world. Dazzling success has come the way of many. They would like to return to their motherland, some even permanently. But stupidity of laws and insolence of bureaucrats keep them away. The country suffers in the bargain.
The primary and paramount mark of Sindhi identity is the distinct language and script. Rich though it is in lore and literature, it faces the prospect of extinction as more and more children refuse to speak and learn it. It will be a pity if this beautiful flower ceases to be a part of the Indian bouquet.
The galaxy of Sindhi poets and writers has kept the language and script alive. Organizers arrange annual Sammelans where Sindhis from the world over mingle and meet and savor the fragrance and favor of Sindhi culture and civilization the literature produced in Pakistan testifies the longing for reunions that saddens the heart of Sindhis in Pakistan. With the relations between the two countries getting better, this longing will bear fruition and fulfillment.

Movie IRON JAWED ANGELS-Hilary Swank
Iwas watching movie IRON JAWED ANGELS (Hillary Swank) on HBO . The movie features Women's right of Vote in the USA. The movement started in 1906 and gained momentum after lot of suffering, humiliation ,jailed, forced feeding when women prisoner went on hunger strike. Finally Women's right of vote was granted on August 26,1926. It was a moving true story .I was touched by the sacrifices of women in the cause.
I am proud of Hillary Clinton's determination to continue her mission to serve AMERICA. She desrves all the support. It is after 81 years that courgeous women with will and determination has offered her services to the country. Let us respect her for that.
The past history of women heading the nations were Indira Gandhi (India) , Margret Thatcher (UK). They were successful adminsters. The male legislators/cabinet minister made their moves with caution.
I invite you to read the article Theme 3- Woman's status in Ancient Bharat Varsha (INDIA) on the web site http://www.sindhulogy.org/ .It will make us proud of our mothers' wives and sisters.
I wish Hilary good luck and pray for her success.

CONTRIBUTION OF SINDHI FREEDOM FIGHTERS TO INDEPENDENCE
CONTRIBUTION OF SINDHI FREEDOM FIGHTERS TO INDEPENDENCE
Ram Jethmalani
Sindh played a vital role in freedom movement during British rule but information about it is scattered and there is no single comprehensive document which records the glorious contribution made by Sindh. The main reason for this is that with Independence, came also the Partition and the province of Sindh was in its entirety merged with Pakistan without regard to the fact that certain regions of Sindh had larger Hindu population. But then the unfortunate situation was that the leaders of the Indian National Congress wished to avoid any protracted negotiations as they were in a hurry to get independence and power for themselves, despite protests from the Sindhi leaders; and the leaders of the Muslim League were naturally keen to have the largest areas merged with Pakistan. But apart from surrender of entire Sindh to Pakistan, the situation so arose that with Partition, Hindus in Sindh came under a terrible threat to their life, liberty and property. Large numbers of Hindus from Sindh began to migrate to India with the help of local leaders of the Indian National Congress. The turmoil in Sindh became all the greater with the influx of Muslim refugees from India and the danger to Sindhi Hindus grew day by day making it imperative for them to leave Sindh. Yet, they faced a dilemma as the leaders in India were against Hindus leaving Pakistan to settle in India and the direction to the local leaders of the Indian National Congress in Sindh were to discourage such exodus. But the local leaders, being witnesses to the terrible situation in Sindh, defied the orders from the Central command; and the waves of migration to India began with Sindhis leaving their properties and all their possessions in Pakistan. Faced with reluctance from Indian leadership and to ensure that India does not close its door to refugees from Sindh, the Sindhi leaders rushed to Mahatma Gandhi, who alone in India understood the plight of Sindhi evacuees; and Gandhiji uttered his famous line, “I am a Sindhi”, and under his influence, the gates of hospitality in India began to be opened, somewhat, for those Sindhi refugees from Pakistan.
In those conditions of turmoil, distress, danger, and uncertainty, naturally the emphasis of the penniless Sindhis migrating to India was to face immediate economic challenges and, somehow, to improve their living conditions. Over the years, these challenges have been met successfully.
The time has therefore come to set the record straight and to attempt to present a comprehensive account of the glowing contribution of Sindh in the freedom struggle and the role of heroic Sindhi freedom fighters.
How the Idea Was Conceived
Though Sindh remained second to none in the freedom movement, while going through the pages of history compiled on the freedom movement, it is observed with grief that most of the historians have ignored the outstanding contribution of Sindh in the Freedom Movement.
Independence was the result of the joint and collective struggle launched by the masses of the united British India. Sindh played its vital / leading role in the freedom movement since the War of Independence of 1857 (though it was conquered only 14 years earlier in 1843). Sindh participated in the formation of All India Congress Committee (A.I.C.C.) and All India Muslim league (A.I.M.L.). Non-cooperation movement duly supported by Mahatma Gandhi / I.N.C.C. was implemented in Sindh by virtue of the passing of a resolution at the Khilafat Conference in Karachi.
Immersed in survival initially and accumulation of wealth later, Sindhis did not pay heed to the recall of their glorious past, with the result that they now stand disassociated with it altogether. Added to this, the young generation was compelled to assimilate into culture and society, very different from their own. This situation created adjustment problems for the young generations. The link to their roots and cultural heritage was severed, but cultural and historical identification made them feel lost, because no body was there to tell them who they were and how their collective future identification would be determined and accepted by the world community.
Apathy and lack of interest of Sindhis was obvious when people / scholars of other provinces started making demands for creation of their own Museums and Archives for highlighting their role in the freedom movement. Recently it has been demanded and suggested that Bengal / Punjab Partition Museums be founded.
Sindhis being second to none in the Freedom Movement during British Rule cannot afford to be a vanishing or invisible nation. With their own Identification, they have to play their role in the present and future in the world community. And history has proven that Sindhis are capable of leading the world community in every field of life.
Keeping in view the above facts, like minded people conceived the idea of initiating a project so as to rectify the situation. In this connection Dial Gidwani took a leading role and started looking for the co operation of like – minded Sindhis and organizations. In India he received due co operation from outstanding individuals besides, organizations such as Global Sindhi Council and SindhiShaan. In Sindh / Pakistan he approached the Gul Hayat Institute to extend its co operation for the noble cause.
As a consequence a joint meeting of American Institute of Sindhology, U.S.A., (www.sindhulogy.org.) Global Sindhi Council of India (www.globalsindhicouncil.org) and Gul Hayat Institute of Sindh (Pakistan) (www.gulhayat.com) was held in Mumbai between 11-19 February 2008 to discuss the proposed project and finalize its modalities and chalk out future lines of action. Several Sindhi scholars, historians, academics were invited to participate.
We owe it to our generation and the coming generations, an authentic and objective historical record which, among others, will include the following features :
History of relevant political parties-organization & activities
Movements of political importance.
Chronology of political events.
Role of press and media; Imposition of ban/censure on press/literature.
Impact of Divide & Rule policy on Sindhi Society.
Freedom Fighters and their contribution
Role of Bombay Legislative Council, Central Legislative Assembly and Sindh Legislative Assembly and other debates.
The task will consist of the following assignments:
Collection of source-material in India, Sindh and elsewhere, such as Articles, Memoirs, Auto/Biographies, testimony of witnesses etc.
Government publications, such as Year Books, Reports etc.
Proceedings of Assemblies/Councils.
British records
Newspaper and media reports
Court Cases
Information on websites
ANCESTRAL INFORMATION
Gul Hayat can provide information on your ancestors from its research papers for which the following information is required.
1) Full name of your Ancestor
2) Name of City / Province of his residence in Sindh
3) Political affiliations, if any
4) Occupation

Ram Jethmalani
Sindh played a vital role in freedom movement during British rule but information about it is scattered and there is no single comprehensive document which records the glorious contribution made by Sindh. The main reason for this is that with Independence, came also the Partition and the province of Sindh was in its entirety merged with Pakistan without regard to the fact that certain regions of Sindh had larger Hindu population. But then the unfortunate situation was that the leaders of the Indian National Congress wished to avoid any protracted negotiations as they were in a hurry to get independence and power for themselves, despite protests from the Sindhi leaders; and the leaders of the Muslim League were naturally keen to have the largest areas merged with Pakistan. But apart from surrender of entire Sindh to Pakistan, the situation so arose that with Partition, Hindus in Sindh came under a terrible threat to their life, liberty and property. Large numbers of Hindus from Sindh began to migrate to India with the help of local leaders of the Indian National Congress. The turmoil in Sindh became all the greater with the influx of Muslim refugees from India and the danger to Sindhi Hindus grew day by day making it imperative for them to leave Sindh. Yet, they faced a dilemma as the leaders in India were against Hindus leaving Pakistan to settle in India and the direction to the local leaders of the Indian National Congress in Sindh were to discourage such exodus. But the local leaders, being witnesses to the terrible situation in Sindh, defied the orders from the Central command; and the waves of migration to India began with Sindhis leaving their properties and all their possessions in Pakistan. Faced with reluctance from Indian leadership and to ensure that India does not close its door to refugees from Sindh, the Sindhi leaders rushed to Mahatma Gandhi, who alone in India understood the plight of Sindhi evacuees; and Gandhiji uttered his famous line, “I am a Sindhi”, and under his influence, the gates of hospitality in India began to be opened, somewhat, for those Sindhi refugees from Pakistan.
In those conditions of turmoil, distress, danger, and uncertainty, naturally the emphasis of the penniless Sindhis migrating to India was to face immediate economic challenges and, somehow, to improve their living conditions. Over the years, these challenges have been met successfully.
The time has therefore come to set the record straight and to attempt to present a comprehensive account of the glowing contribution of Sindh in the freedom struggle and the role of heroic Sindhi freedom fighters.
How the Idea Was Conceived
Though Sindh remained second to none in the freedom movement, while going through the pages of history compiled on the freedom movement, it is observed with grief that most of the historians have ignored the outstanding contribution of Sindh in the Freedom Movement.
Independence was the result of the joint and collective struggle launched by the masses of the united British India. Sindh played its vital / leading role in the freedom movement since the War of Independence of 1857 (though it was conquered only 14 years earlier in 1843). Sindh participated in the formation of All India Congress Committee (A.I.C.C.) and All India Muslim league (A.I.M.L.). Non-cooperation movement duly supported by Mahatma Gandhi / I.N.C.C. was implemented in Sindh by virtue of the passing of a resolution at the Khilafat Conference in Karachi.
Immersed in survival initially and accumulation of wealth later, Sindhis did not pay heed to the recall of their glorious past, with the result that they now stand disassociated with it altogether. Added to this, the young generation was compelled to assimilate into culture and society, very different from their own. This situation created adjustment problems for the young generations. The link to their roots and cultural heritage was severed, but cultural and historical identification made them feel lost, because no body was there to tell them who they were and how their collective future identification would be determined and accepted by the world community.
Apathy and lack of interest of Sindhis was obvious when people / scholars of other provinces started making demands for creation of their own Museums and Archives for highlighting their role in the freedom movement. Recently it has been demanded and suggested that Bengal / Punjab Partition Museums be founded.
Sindhis being second to none in the Freedom Movement during British Rule cannot afford to be a vanishing or invisible nation. With their own Identification, they have to play their role in the present and future in the world community. And history has proven that Sindhis are capable of leading the world community in every field of life.
Keeping in view the above facts, like minded people conceived the idea of initiating a project so as to rectify the situation. In this connection Dial Gidwani took a leading role and started looking for the co operation of like – minded Sindhis and organizations. In India he received due co operation from outstanding individuals besides, organizations such as Global Sindhi Council and SindhiShaan. In Sindh / Pakistan he approached the Gul Hayat Institute to extend its co operation for the noble cause.
As a consequence a joint meeting of American Institute of Sindhology, U.S.A., (www.sindhulogy.org.) Global Sindhi Council of India (www.globalsindhicouncil.org) and Gul Hayat Institute of Sindh (Pakistan) (www.gulhayat.com) was held in Mumbai between 11-19 February 2008 to discuss the proposed project and finalize its modalities and chalk out future lines of action. Several Sindhi scholars, historians, academics were invited to participate.
We owe it to our generation and the coming generations, an authentic and objective historical record which, among others, will include the following features :
History of relevant political parties-organization & activities
Movements of political importance.
Chronology of political events.
Role of press and media; Imposition of ban/censure on press/literature.
Impact of Divide & Rule policy on Sindhi Society.
Freedom Fighters and their contribution
Role of Bombay Legislative Council, Central Legislative Assembly and Sindh Legislative Assembly and other debates.
The task will consist of the following assignments:
Collection of source-material in India, Sindh and elsewhere, such as Articles, Memoirs, Auto/Biographies, testimony of witnesses etc.
Government publications, such as Year Books, Reports etc.
Proceedings of Assemblies/Councils.
British records
Newspaper and media reports
Court Cases
Information on websites
