Today, the seeds of Sindhi nationalism sown by G.M. Syed and Z.A. Bhutto and other Sindhi partisans have borne fruit. The sixth Sindh Adabi Mela, spread over three days (March 3-5), served as a soft declaration of Sindh’s assertive self-confidence.
It has been exactly 100 years since the world came to know about the splendor of Mohenjodaro. Not that the Indus Valley civilization was not known to the world; it was in the 1920s that major archeological excavations revealed the larger extent of the city of Mohenjodaro.
In the Sindh Literature Festival, I met many educated young people with political awareness, whose tone reflected Sheikh Ayaz.
