Contribution of Dr. Nabi Bakhsh Khan Balouch for the Sindhi Language Authority
Abstract
Meritorious services of Dr. Nabi Bakhsh Khan Balouch occupy an
important part of the record of the Sindhi Language Authority right from
its inception to making it stand on strong footing. After Sindh
Government decided to establish the Sindhi Language Authority, Dr.
Balouch was offered to be its founder Chairman. He accepted the offer
and laid foundations for building and strengthening the institution.
The Authority was established for three things, i.e. Teaching,
Promotion, and Promulgation of the Sindhi language. What Dr. Balouch
did, to achieve these objectives, has been briefly depicted in this paper.
Dr. Balouch strongly believed that learning Sindhi effectively
had everything to do with teaching it at the primary level. To this end,
strategies were formulated and tangible results were achieved, e.g.
seminars for teachers and publishing important books etc. He ensured
that untiring work not only starts but continues for preserving and
growing the educational, linguistic, and practical aspects of the
extremely important asset – the Sindhi Language.
Dr. Balouch focused on three important things about correct
usage of the language:
(a) Use of correct language in the textbooks (b) Use of Sindhi in the
official correspondence (c) Availability of Sindhi dictionaries,
encyclopedia’s, and reference material for correct usage of the
language in the right form.
Dr. Balouch charted out a comprehensive plan to conduct a
quality research on the diversity and richness of the current Sindhi
language considering its accents, literary terms, and words used in
different areas. Due to this, study of the Sindhi language started on
twelve geographical territories inside and outside of Sindh. At that time, the thing that required immediate attention was
the usage of Sindhi for official correspondence and in the official
recordkeeping. Dr. Balouch presented the case of the Sindhi language
impressively and strongly by proving that the Sindhi was the approved
official language so much so the rules and regulations thereof were also
available.
Because of hardwork of Dr. Balouch in the right direction to
achieve aims and objectives of the Sindhi Language Authority, the
Institution is there as an exemplary organization.
