Some Contradictions over the use of Sindhi language during British Period
تلخیص
Sindh is the land of the Sufis who fostered the spirit of love,
amity and brotherhood and saints and mystics who lived and preached
peace and fraternity among all sects and religions of the land. The
essence of Sufism clearly can be seen in the Sindhi poetry such as that of
Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai, Sachal Sarmast and Saami. Hindus, Muslims,
Parsees and many other people of different religions have made this
land as their abode and made contribution towards Sindhi language and
literature. As soon as Sindh was occupied by British in 1843, they tried to
divide people on the basis of religion and creeds to rule over them. But
they failed to divide people of Sindh. However, a few opportunists and
some politicians from both sides came under the influence of so called
policy of British rulers “Divide and Rule”. Substantially little integration
was seen between Muslims and Hindus impacted Sindhi Literature,
language, journalism, education, politics and social activities. During the
last decade of movement for independence, political activities were at
its zenith and Sindhi literature and use of Sindhi language was also
under influence of political biases by some writers. But majority of
people were in harmony and united. This attempt has been made to
document some historical facts of the history without hurting feelings of
any one.
