  • PIR OF PAGARO IN OFFICIAL RECORDS(By. Dr.Dur Muhammad Pathan.)

    PIR OF PAGARO IN OFFICIAL RECORDS(By. Dr.Dur Muhammad Pathan.)

    We believe in hypothesis and compile history on the basis oforal and one-sided sources. We are not interested in hunting for more sourcesand applying research methodology. Pir Pagaro and his followers are in positionto afford collection of source material on an outstanding Freedom Fighter-Soreh Badshah. There is need of establishing ‘Pagara Historical ResearchInstitute’ on purely scientific and research methods and esure it to work underany Research Scholars and not to be run by their followers & mureeds. Inthe research methodology, first of all all the source material is to becollected and preserved. This source-material will later on pave way forextensive research on the subject.

    While collecting source-material on Sindh History, I came acrossa correspodance between Sindh Governor (H.Dow) and the Viceroy of India (LordLinlithgow) on and about two Pirs of Sindh- Pir of Bharchundi and Pir ofPagaro. The letter has been written by the Sindh Governor on 19th April1941. I am reproducing here to share with my fb friends.

    The Governor writes:

    1.      This letter concerns the Pir of Bharchundi, andwill dispose of item 4 of the outstanding matters mentioned in your letter of 1st April.

    2.      There is now general agreement on the part of myMinistry, the Chief Secretary and the district officers that the Pir of may besafely released, and I should like to give effect to this with as little delayas possible. The release would would be uncondional, but Pir would be given tounderstand that his influence with his followers is expected to be sufficientto restrain them from grave crimes, and that any recrudescence of the recentdisorders would result in his reincarceration.

    3.      This release should take place at once becauseof the possiblity that it may very soon become necessary to put the Pir Pagarounder restraint, and it is undesirable to give any pretext for themisrepresentation that a campaign against Pirs  in general is being waged. I do not thinkGrahm has referred to the Pir Pagaro, in his fortnightly letters to you, since25th September, an earlier anf fuller reference being in paragraph15 of his letter of 13th July.

    4.      The murids of the Pir Pagaro are a fanaticalsect known as the HURS, who have a long and sinister history in Sindh. In theearly years of this century it took a regular military expedition to round upthe Hurs from their strongholds in jungles of the Thar Parkar district, andlarge numbers of them were either deported and imprisoned at Visapur in BombayPresidency or kept within stockaded settlements in Sindh; and there has been nolong period during which it has been possible to avoid keeping the Pir undersome measure of restraint either by restricting his movements on tour or byactually keeping him in confinement. This basic cause of the criminal habits ofthe Hurs is their devotion to the Pir; they are constantly beggaring themselvesby giving him their whole property, so that after a visit from the Pir theyhave no other means of livelihood than by theft and violence.

    5.      The present Pir Pagaro was released from jail on25th November 1936. Grahm (The then Governor,Sindh) was for a longtime unwilling to believe that the complaints associating him with seriouscrimes in Sindh were justified, but he has left me notes which indicate thathis belief in the Pir’s harmlessness was much shaken, and that action mightsoon have to be taken against him. The possition now reached is that theDistrict Magistrates of all neighbouring districts and also the Administraor ofKhairpur State consider that a situation of grave danger is arising; and Ridley(District Magistrate, Sukkur) is preparing a full statement of the case foraction against the Pir.

    6.      The position of my Ministers is a difficult onebecause of the Pir’s political associations. He is hostile to the Muslim Leaguewho are making use of rival pirs and mullas in their propeganda in thedistricts. The Pir Pagarohas also been recently reported to be bidding forCongress sympathy, even to the extent of taking to the ‘Charkha’ himself, andenjoying its use on his followers. The Home Minister, Sir Ghulam HussainHidayatullah, for whatever reasons- and some not very creditable once arealleged- is his staunch supporter in the cabinet, and the Premier is naturallynot anxious to take action against the enemy of his enemies.

    7.      For the present, I have contanted myself withindicating to the Home Minister that I expect Ridley’s report to be dealt withexpeditiosly when it is received, and that I should require very strong reasonto be adduced if it were proposed to reject the practically unanimous advice ofso many district officers. I hope the matter will be satisfactorilly solvedwithout my having recourse to my special responsibilities, which I sould not inso grave a matter have any hesitation in invoking should it appear to me to benecessary.

    8.      I should be gratful to receive your very earlypermission to release the Bharchundi Pir.

    Your sicerely,

    H.Dow

  • Pakistan Resolution By Sindh Assembly

    Pakistan Resolution By Sindh Assembly

     

    PROCEEDING OF THE SIND LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY – 3RD MARCH 1943 14 Thus so long as Hindus remain as Hindus, there can be no possible basis of one nationality which according to the most authoritative sources implies a sense of kinship which is impossible and unpermissible under the Hindu philosophy. Renan, a great authority on the subject, says “Nationality is a subjective psychological feeling. It is a feeling of corporate sentiment of oneness which makes those that are charged with it feel that they are kith and kin. This feeling is a double edged feeling. It is at once a feeling of fellowship for those who are not one’s own kith and kin. It is a longing to belong to one’s own group and a longing not to belong to any other group. It has been sometimes said that what really matters to the masses is the problem of bread and that as soon as the economic problem is solved, the communal-we would maintain the national-differences will vanish. But such a hope is only self-delusion. The Honourable Dr. HEMANDAS R. WADHWANI: Sir, I rise to a point of order. My Honourable friend Mr. Ghulam Murtaza Shah is going into the merits of religion. I do not think he is relevant in this connection. He is attacking the Hindu religion pointing out the defects of the Hindu religion. THE HONOURABLE THE SPEAKER: He should avoid that. Mr. G. M. SAYED :How can I avoid it? I want to show how we differ. I must show the differences between the two societies. The Ideologies of each other are different. I must quote how they are different. I am attacking no religion. I am not saying anything against them. I do not think anybody on earth will deny what I am saying. I am not doing injustice to other religions. I have great regard for other religions. I am only showing different ideologies. The Honourable DR. HEMANDAS R. WADHWANI: He has been going into the merits of religions. THE HONOURABLE THE SPEAKER: Honourable Member should not compare the religions. He can compare social customs and economic theories. Mr. G. M. SAYED: Sir, I was explaining the economic position and pointing out that Hindu philosophy has no room for labour; it is looked down upon by it. Money is worshipped as a deity and gambling including speculation, the bane of modern economy and usury which enable one to lead a luxurious life without having to labour for it, are not only permitted, but form part of Hindu ritual. Islam on the other hand not only acknowledges but actually sanctifies manual labour, forbids easy money-making such as usury. The Honourable Dr. HEMANDAS R. WADHWANI: What are Pathans? Mr. G. M. SAYED: They are not acting according to Islamic conceptions. Islam encourages division and fragmentation of property aiming at the ultimate destruction of all artificial class distinctions based on accidental differences of colour and race or wealth and property. Most of the greatest saints and scholars of Islam have been mechanics and tradesmen of all sorts-washermen, carpenters, cotton thrashers, weavers, yet they are all amongst the most respected scholars, honourable men in Islam. I may as well quote: (Here read some Arabic couplet). Labourer is a friend of God. Labour is the most accepted thing by God. That is how I am pointing out different ideologies. PROCEEDING OF THE SIND LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY – 3RD MARCH 1943 15 The Honourable Dr. HEMANDAS R. WADHWANI: Outside Sind most of the labour is Hindu (Laughter). Mr. G. M. SAYED: Thus if the ultimate object in the freedom of a democratic unit is the free, un-restricted growth of a nation on its own individualistic lines based on its culture, philosophy and traditions, not to speak of other accidental factors such as climatic, geographical, linguistic and racial characteristics, then Muslims and Hindus can never expect to attain that common growth as the growth of one precludes that of the other, the very basis of such growth being opposed one to the other. It is idle to expect that when the hero of one community is the tyrant of the other, when a historic victory of one is the shameful defeat of the other that in a United India, where the Hindus will by the strength of their numbers always command the lion’s share in the Government of the country, Muslims will have any the slightest chance of attainment of their ideals. I must further point out that democracy means rule of people. But these people must be homogeneous and not heterogeneous. There cannot be any Government unless it has got some common ideals before it, which are acceptable to all the people of the land. Now let us see whether a common ideal in a United India can ever be possible. It is quite clear that their ideals being different, Hindus and Muslims cannot run smoothly in the same direction with the result that there will not be democracy but there will be a rule of tyrant majority. Today we blame Hitler and other tyrant states for forcing their wills upon others and coerce the people to act against their free wills. What would be the differences between them and the people of India if unity was forced upon them? If 300 million people force 100 million people to be subordinate to them and follow the ideals of the 300 million people, quite contrary to the wishes and sentiments of the minority, what will be the result of such rule? The two major communities are rivals for political power and rivalry between them is bound to continue so long as one is not completely absorbed by the other or they are not given separate national states. No power in the world can establish the necessary understanding between them, at the same time keeping them as Hindus and Muslims with one national unit. Their traditions have been built on each other’s cost. The history of the last one thousand years is dotted with incidents which do not signify the same thing to them both. What one has recorded as its brilliant success, the other has registered as a wrong perpetrated against it. Some people again argue that Muslim nationalists will not be self-sufficient economically and financially. That way no state in the world is entirely self dependent in every aspect of life and rich enough to satisfy its entire requirements. Whatever its economical position, no nation will be prepared to lose its independence and liberty for the sake of money and other luxuries of life. Can a bird prefer all sorts of food in a cage to the free rambling life in the woods where it often does not get sufficient food ? Will Afghanistan lose its independence for the sake of the rich grains and other amenities of life in India ? It is therefore idle to raise the bogy of economical insufficiency in respect of Pakistan States. I hope better senses will prevail and our Hindu friends who claim to be so anxious about the independence of India will understand and realise that there is no other solution for the salvation of the country than the one embodied in the Lahore Resolution of the All-India Muslim League commonly known as Pakistan Resolution, if the problem of India is ever satisfactorily to be solved. PROCEEDING OF THE SIND LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY – 3RD MARCH 1943 16 Sir, I cannot do better than wind up my speech by referring to a happy coincidence. Today when I move in this Honourable House this Pakistan resolution, that great Hindu leader Mr. Gandhi who has tried in the past for Hindu Muslim Unity will break his fast. It is our earnest hope that Mr. Gandhi will now more than ever become convinced that any attainment at artificial unity is foredoomed to failure. Independence of India, freedom from foreign domination, riddance of imperialistic rule can only be achieved when the Hindu Muslim question has been settled in an honourable manner to the satisfaction of the great Muslim Nation by conceding its Pakistan demand. It is therefore that I venture to hope that his inner light will reveal to him the imperative need to concede to the Muslim Nation the right of self-determination and thereby he will spare us all the tragedy that will inevitably happen leading to disastrous consequences if this fair demand of the Muslims is opposed and any constitution that does not confer this right upon Muslims is thrust upon us against our wishes. SHAIKH ABDUL MAJID: Sir, I wish to move two amendments to the resolution moved by my friend Mr. G.M. Sayed. I do not know whether you will allow me to move these amendments at the same time, or after you have dealt with one. THE HONOURABLE THE SPEAKER: Which are the amendments? SHAIKH ABDUL MAJID:Sir, I move my first amendment that in line 3 from the bottom, after the word “own” the words “with safeguards for minorities” should be added. My second amendment is this, viz: “ Drop the words “Civil war with grave’ in the last line, and substitute the word “disastrous”. THE HONOURABLE THE SPEAKER: The amendment moved is in line 3 from the bottom, after the word “own” the words “with safeguards for minorities” should be added. And in the last line the words “civil war with grave” should be substituted by the word “disastrous”. Mr. G. M. SAYED: I accept the amendment. THE HONOURABLE THE SPEAKER: Is the Honourable Member going to speak? I shall permit him if he wants to. SHAIKH ABDUL MAJID: (In Sindhi) Sir, I support the resolution of my Honourable friend, as amended by me. I am sorry that my Honourable Hindu friends have thought it fit to walk out of this Honourable House. I would have been more pleased if they had been broad minded enough to give us at least a patient hearing. If the proposals were not acceptable to them, they could have remained neutral but there was no relevant reason for their leaving the House. It is since long that Indian National Congress and All India Muslim League and other organisations have expressed their ideas and views on the future constitution of India. The ideology behind this resolution has been placed before the country by the All India Muslim League. It was necessary to think a little over it and decide whether the resolution should be supported by the House. There was nothing new in it, which was Greek and Latin to the Honourable Hindu Members and that it so hit upon their hearts that they were compelled to leave this House or even the province of Sind. There was not a single point in it on which it was necessary for them to show displeasure. The question of future of India is a constitutional question. On such questions some of Honourable Members at times are over-powered by communalism. It pertains to a constitutional issue and we have to judge with patience, whether it would be possible to have federated union in India. I think it PROCEEDING OF THE SIND LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY – 3RD MARCH 1943 17 cannot be possible unless there are independent units in India. If I may state in English, “Federation of Units, presupposes existence of independent Units in the country.” The main aim of this resolution is that the Muslims of India want reconstruction of those provinces and areas in which Muslims are in majority. Similar case should be of the other provinces of India in which Hindus are in majority. In this resolution there is nothing mentioned about those provinces, in which Hindus are in majority yet they are included in it. It will be applicable to the provinces in which Muslims are in majority as well as to those provinces in which Hindus are in majority. It is neither injustice to Hindus nor Muslims. It is a constitutional matter which is being decided for ever. These major communities then will have brotherly terms and connections either on compromise foundation or on the basis of treaty. This resolution does not aim at war but it is a method to check war. It has been said by Honourable friend Mr. G. M. Sayed that there should be self-determination and independence in the provinces on the lines of Soviet Units in Russia. The units have got the right of secession and there is such a clause permitting the right of units in the Russian constitution. Having regard to these points, it can be said that this resolution was only a constitutional question, and there was no real cause for my Honourable Hindu friends to leave the House. It is not possible for Congress to solve the problem of India. Every country has its own problems. The problem of India can be solved with broad mind and liberal views; it is necessary for us to understand each other’s view points and to arrive at settlement. My Honourable friend has referred to the Lahore Resolution, passed by All-India Muslim League, in which it was mentioned that safeguards should be guaranteed to minorities. The safeguards should relate to culture, religion, social customs and language. Therefore I thought it necessary to move this amendment. It is relevant to the Lahore Resolution, which is known as Pakistan Resolution. It is no exaggeration to say that my Honourable friend Mr. G. M. Sayed has rendered service to the whole of India by moving this resolution. From the time the Sind Assembly has come into existence, this is the first time that the opinion of the Muslims of Sind, in real sense, is being conveyed. If the principle of this resolution is accepted it can bring about compromise between Muslim League and Congress. Sir Strafford Cripps’ proposals, which were not accepted by Congress, contained the same principle. Sir Strafford Cripps’ proposal had four parts. One part was that after the war, there would be independent units. Those units may retain their sovereignty or may join an All India Union. The Congress Working Committee too passed a resolution declaring that no unit could be forced to accede in the Union if they preferred to stand out. Honourable Mr. G. M. Sayed’s resolution is similar to the proposal of Sir Strafford Cripps. Independent states should be formed, where Muslims are in majority. There is a clamour all over the world for New Order. Why not give some serious thought to the problem of a New Order for India? The principle of this resolution can help both the communities to come to terms. All-India Muslim League’s resolution ushers in the possibility of such an understanding. It is no doubt that we do not wish to remain under any Central Government. In the Central Government there will be a permanent majority of one community. Though it is not the intention of Honourable the mover, yet it is possible that Congress and Muslim League may sit at one round table and while considering the internal and external affairs of the provinces and finances of India, can evolve an acceptable constitution. There are some problems affecting equally more than one province. For example Indus river dispute between Punjab and Sind Governments. An arbitrator PROCEEDING OF THE SIND LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY – 3RD MARCH 1943 18 was appointed. After the matter was decided both the Governments have appealed to H. M. the King Emperor. It would have been more correct if both these Pakistan Provinces had appealed to the All-India Muslim League. We have to evolve a common machinery for the settlement of the inter-provincial disputes. The province of Sind has got a sea coast. We may require a Navy to defend the cost Line. That Navy would not guard Sind Province only but also other provinces, such as Punjab and N.W.F. Province. Many questions of that type would arise. We would be required to maintain Naval Force, Air Force and land Force. It is a matter for consideration why the expenditure should be borne by Sind alone. I do not deem it impossible that atter the theoretical differences have ended, there might arise the necessity of having a central machinery for the settlement of inter-states disputes. For Sind it is more beneficial to agree to the proposal of Sir Strafford Cripps, which has not yet been withdrawn by the British Government. Every province possesses its own natural gifts and Sind has got Karachi as a natural gift. The revenue derived from customs only is eight to nine crores. Besides there are other incomes obtained from Income tax, Railway and Postal receipts which go to Central Government but we do not get any share from that revenue. At present it would be seen that our Government cannot introduce compulsory education for our children and we have no funds to make necessary arrangements for medical relief. The reason is its poor financial position, when major portion of the income is taken away by the Central Government. There is no need for us to maintain this white elephant of the Central Government from our revenues. The Honourable Dr. HEMANDAS R.WADHWANI: Sir, while opposing the resolution of the Honourable Member Mr. G. M. Sayed, before I give my reasons for opposing the same, I congratulate the Honourable Member Shaikh Abdul Majid on arguing about the resolution on general and political grounds only. I am glad to note that he did not touch religion as did my Honourable friend Sayed Ghulam Martaza Shah. Of course every body has got his own point of view on general and political matters. There is always a difference of opinion so far as that aspect of the matter is concerned and I have no objection to that in the least. What I am sorry about is the attitude of the Honourable Member Mr. Sayed who tried to show the difference in the religions of Hindus and Muslims. He tried to touch all the bad points of the Hindu religion. They may be bad according to him and good according to others. There is always difference of opinion in that also. But I do not wish to pay him in the same coin in order to show the good points or the bad points of his religion for which I have got the greatest regard. I am a believer in the brotherhood of religions. God is one and I consider all the religions of the world as different roads leading to God. That is my own point of view. Muslim religion according to the Hindus may have its good or bad points. But according to me the aim of all the religions is the same. So I do not wish to touch the merits or the demerits of Hindu and Muslim religions. What I would therefore request the Honourable Member Mr. Sayed is that he should always touch such questions on general and political grounds only as my Honourable friend Shaikh Abdul Majid has done. Certainly we have no objection to that. As they are members of the Muslim League, surely they have got every right to follow Muslim League mandate. Similarly we are members of Hindu Mahasabha and we have every right to carry out our own policy and programme. Therefore they should not bring in the point of religion. That is what I strongly object to. I may repeat once again that I have got the greatest regard for Muslim religion and as a matter of fact all the religions of the world over. With these few remarks I oppose the resolution. PROCEEDING OF THE SIND LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY – 3RD MARCH 1943 19 Mr. G. M. SAYED: Sir, I rise on a point of personal explanation. I have never pointed out the bad points of Hindu religion or the good points of Muslim religion. I have only shown the differences. I have got great respect for Hindu religion. My religion teaches me tolerance for all the religions of the world. That is the commandment of the Holy Prophet. We should not belittle any other religion. So it was far from my intention to say anything against Hindu religion. I only wanted to show the different conceptions of both idealogies and I assure my Honourable friend Dr. Hemandas that it was not with an object of showing that Hindu conception was bad and mine was good. It was merely to show how diametrically they were opposed to each other. That was my point. Mr. MUHAMMAD USMAN SOOMRO: (In Sindhi.) Sir, the resolution introduced by Honourable Member Mr. G. M. Sayed created misunderstanding in my mind but it has been removed by the speech of Honourable Shaikh Abdul Majid. We have read the proposals of Sir Strafford Cripps. They were worthy proposals. According to them, every Province would have enjoyed its independence while joining union or remaining as a unit. It was ill-luck that the proposals were not accepted by Hindus, Muslims and Congress. Sir Strafford Cripps went back without any agreement. There is no question of Hindu or Muslim, every body would be eager to see the independence of Sind. That independence does not mean that our Sind Province should be combined with Baluchistan, Punjab or Pakistan or with other provinces. By doing so Sind would be put in dark, because majority would be theirs; similarly it was said by Honourable Shaikh Abdul Majid in his speech. The population of Punjab and Baluchistan is greater and if Sind is combined with them, it would suffer. It may take place that some deserts and frontiers might be put along with Sind, and be an unnecessary burden on it. The Sind province has got its own sufficient income and therefore it would be beneficial if it remains separate. Considering these points it can be said that the proposals of Sir Strafford Cripps are up to the mark and it would be better if they are accepted by Sind. Now the question remains, whether the provinces should join together. This should be decided at the time when a question pertaining to all the provinces arises, for example, the dispute of Indus Water. For such matters and quarrels a tribunal would be appointed. By this kind of independence Muslims as well as Hindus would be gainers. It would be the duty of majority to protect the rights of minority. If separated, every Province would feel its responsibility to meet the expenditure within its income. With these words I support the resolution. The Honourable RAI SAHIB GOKALDAS MEWALDAS: Sir, I am glad to note that the Honourable Member. Mr. G. M. Sayed has removed the impression by assuring the Hindu community that he had no intention whatsoever to comment on Hindu religion. I would like to make a few remarks so far as the Pakistan system is concerned or whatever the Honourable Member Mr. G.M. Sayed himself has said. He said that there is a rule of the tyrant because of the majority community. So far as I can understand, he refers to the Hindu community. What is the case in Sind? The Hindus are not in the majority, but the Mussalmans are. Similarly in some other Provinces the Mussalmans are in the majority, and they want a separate province to be ruled or constituted by them. I think it is not a different way that he has suggested why Pakistan is needed. He has repeated the same story which, in his opinion, is being repeated in India. I do not know whether in other Provinces any resolution in the Legislative Assemblies or in the Central Assembly or the Council of State has been moved or carried. It only shows that this resolution in this Assembly is being moved on the assumption that this House has got the majority of the Mussalmans, and that they are sure that such a resolution will be carried. We personally do not mind if by their majority they PROCEEDING OF THE SIND LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY – 3RD MARCH 1943 20 carry the resolution. But I must remind my Honourable friend that he is accusing the Hindus that they will rule the other provinces in India because they are in the majority. He wants the same thing to be repeated in our Province. The second point is this. The war is at the doors of India. The question therefore is whether it would be advisable for India to be divided into States. If it is done, they may not be able to defend the country from the enemy attack at this time. If the states are divided, I do not think it would be possible to safeguard the interests of India. So far as the Indian demand goes, it is for Swaraj or independence for India. It is not for any individual province; it is not for any individual district; it is not for any individual taluka. From what the Honouable Member Mr. G.M. Sayed said, if that should be the principle accepted by the Muslim League on the assumption that they consider themselves a minority community in India, then they must realise that they are a majority community in Sind. Similarly in each district or in each taluka or in each town, the same thing might be repeated that they may be independent. I think it will be absolutely wrong in policy that the Province should be divided into independent districts, or independent taluka headquarters or independent divisions. It should remain as a whole, and the province should be attached as a whole to India. Similarly, there is the question of Hindu-Muslim unity. I can understand that if there are some differences of opinion on the independence of India, they can certainly settle their disputes by all means. But it is absolutely difficult to imagine, Sir, that, if our province is separated, they would naturally want that it should be attached to the Punjab, and the Punjab to the Frontier, and the Frontier with Turkey or any other place, and so on. I do not know what would be the significance or consequence of this in the long run. If it is the idea of our Muslim League brothers that they must have separate Raj, separate division to rule, I can understand that significance. How is that possible to expect? Similarly I might also inform my Honourable friend Mr. G.M. Sayed what is the case in America. Negroes are there. They have got the same rights as others. Are they going to be separated on this account? If we look to the past history of Ireland, what was it? Ireland was divided……… THE HONOURABLE THE SPEAKER: If they could help it. The Honourable RAI SAHIB GOKALDAS MEWALDAS: Similarly Austria was attached with Germany some time back, and when it was separated, you could understand there was no independence. It is separate from Germany altogether. I quote these for the sake of examples. If we are separated from one province to another, from province to district, and so on I do not think it will be a good idea or suggestion for people to separate and lose their villages or towns or provinces. Nobody would be able to defend themselves. So far as the Hindus are concerned, they have got their religious pilgrimages everywhere in India. Similarly the Mussalmans have got their pilgrimages everywhere in India. If India is divided into parts, provinces or districts, how would it be possible to maintain that unity? With these words, I would like to oppose the resolution. Mrs. J. G. ALLANA: (In Sindhi) Sir, on behalf of the Muslim women of this province, I support this resolution. I assure the Honourable House that we are true to Muslim League and I desire that the Muslims of India may get Pakistan as soon as possible. PROCEEDING OF THE SIND LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY – 3RD MARCH 1943 21 The Honourable KHAN BAHADUR M.A. KHUHRO:I have nothing much to add on a resolution of this kind. The Honourable the Mover of the Resolution Mr. G.M. Sayed has made the position entirely clear in a written speech he has made in this House, and he has fully explained the ideology of the Muslim League as adumbrated in the Resolution of the All-India Muslim League passed in Lahore in March 1940. Now, there is a slight misunderstanding created by what Honourable Member Shaikh Sahib said, namely that as far as he was able to understand, the proposals of the British Government by Sir Strafford Cripps also accepted the principle of independence of individual provinces, what they called political units. Now, the difference between those proposals and the Muslim League ideology was, as was said by Mr. Jinnah in his presidential address at the Lahore session, last year, that the Muslim League demanded self-determination of Muslim nations as such-namely the Muslim community of the entire India. Though it may be said that the proposals of Sir Strafford Cripps go a great deal to meet the wishes of the Muslim League, they do not go cent per cent. They may be about 50 or 60 per cent. What we ask is that there should be acknowledged on the part of the British Government the right of complete self-determination of the Muslim nation. This has been sufficiently argued by the Honourable mover of the resolution. Secondly, Honourable Member Shaikh Sahib showed, that there are sufficient grounds that the Muslims are a nation because they are politically, socially, religiously and for various other reasons that have been described by him independent and they have every just claim to self-determination. I think, Sir, it would be difficult to say if Sind at this stage could stand by itself. Now there is the Western Zone comprising of Baluchistan, Frontier Province &c. Similarly there is the Eastern Zone comprising part of Assam, part of Bengal &c. Those zones compared to India as a whole are much less than the entire area or the entire population of the Indian sub-continent. The Muslim League does not say that the Hindus should be deprived of independence. The Muslim League stands for independence. The League says: Let Hindus have independence in their own areas and the Muslims where they are in majority should have similar independence. Therefore I do not understand the argument of my Honourable friend Rai Sahib Gokaldas. Sind and other provinces under the provincial autonomy are already independent. The Honourable Minister knows it. Only in certain respects they are dependent on the Central Government, But we want complete independence of the Central Government, complete freedom under the new dispensation of things. The point that because Sind will be a separate independent province, therefore each taluka, each district, each village will claim to be independent is ridiculous. Punjab is a separate province, so also the North West Frontier & c. Therefore the principle of independence is acknowledged that they are separate units and these provinces can maintain themselves. The only question remains about the Military, Air Force and Navy. These are Central subjects. These things can be discussed at a Round Table Conference where representatives of the Congress, the Mahasabha and all prominent bodies will be present and they will come to an amicable understanding. There is no serious objection to the resolution as such and I hope the House will accept it unanimously or by a majority. PROCEEDING OF THE SIND LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY – 3RD MARCH 1943 22 The Honourable SIR GHULAM HUSSAIN HIDAYATULLAH:Sir, I would suggest that a copy of the proceedings of this debate may be forwarded to the proper authorities. I have nothing more to say. Mr. G. M. SAYED: I wish to reply to one or two points raised by Honourable Rai Sahib Gokaldas Mewaldas. Let Hindus have 3/4th share and Muslims 1/4th . We do not grudge that they should have their share. He said that if there was a proposal for independence of Sind only, then it was a different matter. But he has a fear that to-morrow we might even join with Turkey. Why should he say so? It will depend upon both of us. It they are able to influence us and if we are able to remain aloof, why should we join Turkey? Why has Turkey not joined Afghanistan or Persia? They are independent Muslim countries free to federate but still they have not joined. History has proved it. I cannot promise what will be decided in the future. It is left to the wishes of the people of the Province. Another point is of defence. How is Afghanistan defending itself; how is Persia defending itself; how is Iraq defending itself? Our province is richer than Afghanistan; it has got much more population than several of these small states in the world. Why can we not defend ourselves, when other smaller nations can defend themselves? The Honourable Rai Sahib GOKALDAS MEWALDAS:He does not realise that they are ruling nations. Mr. M. H. GAZDAR:We want to be a ruling nation. Mr. G. M. SAYED: Then come to the geographical units. We have Canada and United States of America. They are independent nations and they do not unite. Take the instance of Mexico. It is an independent nation and does not want to unite. Each and every nation wants independence and no nation wants to be dependent on the other. Therefore that argument does not stand. With these words I resume my seat. THE HONOURABLE THE SPEAKER: Now I put the resolution. (Question put and agreed to.) The Honourable Dr. HEMANDAS R. WADHWANI: Sir, I want a division. THE HONOURABLE THE SPEAKER:I allow the division. Tellers will be:- Mr. Fraser, Mir Ghulam Ali, Mr. Muhammad Usman Soomro, Seth Lolumal.

    EVENTS FROM UN-TOLD HISTORY OF SINDH IN THE LIGHT OF CORRESPONDENCE OF BRITISH AGENTS:
    1838
    Letter No. 230 of 28th November 1838 from Colonel Pottinger to Mr. pestanje Framji, Agent of Messrs. Firth & Co., informing him that he considered it unsafe for him to proceed to the interior of the Province and that as he had no authority to grant him a pass he should bring down his goods by the river rout…e (via Vicure ) and then advance up the river as soon as the army moved.
    Letter No. 233-A. of 28th November 1838 from Captain Eastwick to Captain Melwille, Assistant Resident in Cutch, requesting him to supply him with thousand camels or even more to enable the force to proceed into the interior as it was useless to depend on the Ameers of Sindh for any assistance as they, in spite of their professions, were hostile to the advance of the British army and would be delighted to throw obstacles in their way.

    The complete Manifesto of the Sindh United Party and valuable information about P…PP is available on the website of Gul Hayat, the link is given in the end of this posting. Though, Gul Hayat Institute has compiled ‘Chronology of PPP’ and that is not less than 1OO pages and comprehensive Catalouge of titles and topics of statements, addresses and press coverage of Shaheed Rani Benazir Bhutto, but it has not been uploaded on our website yet. Like other parties, Gul Hayat’s holding on PPP is un-matched in quality and quantity. But we have last our interest in preservation and documentation of our history. That is why Gul Hayat being situated in district Larkano has not been visited by people in power to see that what a wonderful research work has been done on their Party besides, history of Sindh/Pakistan without any financial and moral support of any individual, NGO or Government.
    Friends are suggested to visit our website to know more about Sindh United Party and Pakistan Peoples Party.

    I MISS YOU MANGHARAM MALKANI.
    Today is Death Anniversary of my never_seen, but very close friend Professor Mangharam Malkani.It was in 1976, when we came in contact to each other.Those were days, when I was conducting research for Ph.D.I do not know where is Jaswant Kumar? He was from Mombai and helped me in contacting so many writers and men of letters in India. He was as some sort of Focal Person for me.
    Mangharam Malkani took interest in my research activities.However, he was not in favour of my approach & methodology about working on the contribution of Hindus as a separate subject. He thought it as like ” Hindu Pani” and ” Muslim Pani”. But I was opinion that second generation of Hindus in India and Mulims in Sindh will lost interest in Combined History and consequently the role of N…on-Muslims will be ignored by both.He was very much impressed by my vision and agreed that I must go with my Agenda.The time has proved that I was and very much right.now, no body is taking interest in the Common History, except me.
    Mangharam Malkani was born on 24th December 1896. His Grandfather Shewakram Malkani was Mukhtyarkar, who became first ever Sindhi City Magistrate of Hyderabad.His father Odharam was Landlord. He got Primary education in Training Colege/School Hyderabad. Muhammad Sidik “Musafir”, Ghulam Ali Nana and Waliram Thadani remained his favourate teachers there. He stood first in Scool and fourth in Sindh in the Matriculation examination.When he was in D.J.Sindh College of Karachi, he managed strike against sitting European Principal and pawed way for Prof. Shahi to take over as new Principal. After some time he was appointed in that college also.
    In 1923, he along with Khanchand Daryani established ” Rabandarnath Literary and Dramatic Society” in Hyderabad and Tagore performed its opening ceremony.
    Dur Muhammad Pathan
    I MISS YOU MANGHARAM MALKANI (2)
    The address presented to Tagore on that occasion is preserved in my Gul Hayat Institute.On this occasin, Mangharam and his friends staged Togore”s drama ” Chitr” and their performancr impressed Tagore to that extent he he desired to have Breakfast with Mangharam and his friends.He wrote frequent letters to me and those, I got published in Weekly ” AZAD” of Karachi.
    After migration to India, the best dramatist and man of stage, served Sindhi Hidus there as a professor and enriched Sindhi Literature by his writings. His book ” History of Sindhi Prose” (in Sindhi) got important position of Basic Source of Material on the subject. He very kindly sent his books when ever those were published. He breathed his last on 1st of December 1980. He was a writer of his own right, great personality of Sindhi Literature and above all my best friend and today I miss him a lot.

    No doubt, we are living in the Era of NGOs. We can find not a single village without any NGO. Most of people are unaware of the fact that Sindh was without net work of NGOs in the past. But it will be amazing for them that our Motherland has aunmatched history of social services. Leave other periods and take the example of only British… Period. Visit Gul Hayat website and you will a comprehensive list of MGOs there. Is it not amazing that we had Sindh Graduates Association in British period also! In that period NGOs were financialy helped by Upper Class. Go and see buildings of Educational Institutions, Hospitals etc, you find names of financial supporters there.
    The Karachi Social Service League was one of important NGOS. In its meeting held on 7. 12.1920, vide its resolution, demands increase in the salary of Govt. Employees.

    Let US REMEMBER RAJ RASHI DIWAN DAYARAM GIDUMAL
    A few days back, I gave brief introduction about the great Philosopher, Man of letters and Social Reformer of his own right -Diwan Dayaram Gidumal. He was born in 1857 and was always saying that ” I am born in the year of uprising and there is its impact of that time on my personality. I believe in break through and drastic change is part of my urge”….He accepted, selected and respect Urmla Devi- a young girl as his Better Half when he himself was at eleventh hour of his age. It was a drastic decision and every body started to make him target for violation of Social a values, but he was calm and quite and happy with his action. Mahatma Gandhi alongwith Azad came to see him, but he regretted to meet them.In reply to the friend on the same issue, he wrote: Spare me not,condemn me freely. The world is giving me what I badly wanted-Its scorn.The denouncers are truly my friends. Say not a word against them. Silence is golden.” He was great man. It is said that Urmla was betrayed by her Boy friend and she was carrying his issue. Diwan Dayaram gave her protection on the price of his honour, dignity and status.
    I end my brief note with the tribute by Sadhu Vaswani for this great man:
    Life is a River flowing to the Sea;
    Is blended with the One,-and I weep
    To see thy birth-place still in bondage lives;
    And still undone thy Mission and thy Task:
    And still in anguish deep my spirit cries,
    And in the darkness of these days, I ask:-
    “How long”? How long will they whom thou has served
    Life thus prostrate, to cruel customs slaves?
    In imitation sunk: so weak, unnerved,
    And swept by foolish Fashin”s fickle waves?

    ٽيئن آرڪيالاجي ڪانفرنس ماٿيلوصدين کان جي موضوع تي لکيل مقالو

    ماٿيلومومل جي ماڙيءَ جي حوالي سان منتظمن ۽ محققن کي ڪي گذارشون ۽ صلاحون.

    محقق؛ڊاڪٽر در محمد پٺاڻ

    هيءَ مون لاءِ اعزاز جي ڳالهه آهي ته مومل جي مزاج ۽ مجاز جي وارثن، اڄ ان جي هنڌ کي ڏسڻ جو موقعو فراهم ڪيوآهي، جنهن سنڌي عورت جي ڏاهپ، ڏات ۽ وفاداري جي لازوال حقيقت کي تاريخ جو سنهري باب بڻائي ڇڏيو. پر اسان انهي سچي واقعي کي ۽ حقيقت کي قصو بڻائي ڇڏيو. جڏهن ته تاريخ نويس پنهنجا قلم پاسيرا ڪري رکندا آهن ته حقيقتون قصن ۽ ڪهاڻين جو جنم وٺنديون آهن.

    ”ماٿيلو مومل جي ماڙي“ ۽ ان سان لاڳاپيل قصو، آثارِ قديمه جي عالمن ۽ تاريخ نويس محققن جو موضوع آهي.  پر اسان جي علم ۽  قلمي پورهيي سان ڀريل ورق، پاڻ کي ماهرن ۽ محققن جي ڪم جي معيار ۽ مقدار تي مطمعن ڪرڻ واري موٽ نه ٿا ڏين.

    مون کي جڏهن سائين اختر علي شاهه بخاري ۽ محترم الطاف اثيم جو حڪم مليو ته هن ثقافتي ۽ علمي ڪاڄ ۾ مون کي به ويچار ونڊڻان آهن ته مون ڪتابن جا ورق ورائڻ شروع ڪيا. مون کي هن کان اڳ ٿيل ڪم تي مايوسي به ئي ته پريشاني به ٿي. مومل جي ماڙي ۽ مومل تي، مون سمجهيوهو ته ايترو قلمي پورهيو ٿيو هوندو جو مان ان تي مشتمل بيبلو گرافي ٺاهي، وڃي ڪانفرنس ۾ سنگت کي صلاح ڏيندس ته بيبلو گرافي کي پراجيڪٽ طور کڻي دوست ڪم ڪن.منهنجي راءِ ۽ صلاح اها ئي رهندي ته ماٿيلو،مومل ۽ مل جي ماڙي جي موضوع تي بيبلو گرافيص تي ڪم ٿيڻ گهرجي. هن کان اڳ موضوع تي جيڪي ڪتاب ۽ مضمون  منهنجي نظر مان گذريا آهن، انهن کي مون ضميمي نمبر1 طور پنهنجي هن مختصر  مقالي ۾ شامل ڪيو آهي، جيڪو ڇهن ورقن تي شامل آهي . آرڪيالاجي ، تاريخ جي انهي دور تي روشني وجهندي آهي ، جنهن جي ٻِي ڪا شاهدي ثابتي موجود نه هوندي آهي. مومل ۽ مومل جي ماڙي ، اسان جي ماضي قريب سان واسطو رکن ٿا. ان ڪري آثار قديم جي عالمن کي تاريخي رڪارڊ جو معلوماتي ذريعو به ميسر آهي. پوءِ مومل ۽ مومل جي ماڙي اسان لاءِ منجهيل سٽ نه هئڻ گهرجي. پر اسان ان کي منجهيل سٽ جو روپ پاڻ ڏيئي رهيا آهيون.

    مثال طور ڪن دوستن جو خيال آهي ته هي اها مومل جي ماڙي ناهي، جتان نيم تاريخي رومانوي داستان ” مومل راڻي“جنم ورتو. سندن انومان هي آهي ته مومل ۽ راڻي جي قصي جي جاگرافي جا اهڃاڻ لاڙ ۽ جيسلمير طرف آهن،ان ڪري نه مومل هتان جي ۽ نه وري مومل جي ماڙي انهي مومل جي . ڪن دوستن جي چواڻي ته ” نند ڪوٽ “ ته  لاڙ ۾ آهي، ۽ ان کي اتان جا ماڻهون مومل جي پيءُ ڏانهن منسوب ڪندا آهن. اهو عجيب منطق ته هيئن چئبو، جو جيڪڏهن ڪو دعوي ڪري ته ملير ته ڪراچي جي لڳ، بلڪ هاڻي ڪراچي ۾ آهي، ان ڪري مارئي اصل ۾ ڪراچي جي هئي . ماڳن ۽ ماڻهن جي نالا هڪ جهڙا ٿيا ته ڇا ٿي پيو، حقيقتن ۽ واقعن جو پنهنجو پنهنجو تشخص ٿئي ٿو.” نند ڪوٽ“ جيڪڏهن لاڙ ۾ ٿيو ته ڀلي هجي ، پر هن ماڳ کي نند ڪوٽ نه ليڪن مومل جي ماڙي چيو وڃي ٿو. ان ڪري ٻئي ماڳ مختلف آهن ۽ ٻنهي مان فقط هڪ ماڳ ، يعني ” مومل جي ماڙي“ جو تعلق ” مومل ۽ راڻي“ جي قصي سان آهي. البته اهو چوڻ مناسب نه ٿو لڳي ته ڪو مومل ڪاڪ به هتي ٺاهي. مومل ۽ سومل پيءُ جي گهر ۾ ويهي، ناراض پيءُ جي روبرو ڪاڪ محل وارو مانڊاڻ نه مچا يو هوندو. کين گهر ۽ تر ڇڏڻو پيو هوندو، ان ڪري مومل ۽ راڻي جي رومانوي داستان جي جاگرافي جيسلمير، ڪاڪ ڪنڌي ۽ لڊاڻو ۾ ئي موجود آهي ۽ اها ڳالهه عقل کان بعيد نه ٿي نظر اچي. ”تحفته الڪرام“ يا ٻين معلوماتي ذريعن مان جيڪا ڄاڻ ملي ٿي، ان مان بي اهو ئي ثابت ٿئي ٿو مومل ۽ سندن اباڻا هتان جا ئي هيا. پوءِ عشق کي شاباس جنهن ڪاڪ ڪنڌئي تي مومل ۽ مينڌري کي ملايو . جيئن ته ”تحفته الڪرام“  ۽ معلومات جا ٻيا ذريعا اسان  کي عمر ۾ وڏا ۽ اسان جي ڀيٽ ۾ مومل جي دور جي ويجهو آهن ان ڪري انهن کي وزن ڏيڻو ئي پوندو. ”لوڪ ادب“ نه فقط ” عوامي ساڃهه “ جو ڀنڊار ٿيندو آهي ، پر اهو تاريخ جو اولڙو ۽ واقفن جو شاهد به ٿيندو آهي. لوڪ ادب ۾ ” داخليت “ جو عنصر وڌيڪ هجڻ باوجود به سپورنجن محققن لاءِ جي ڪچي مواد فراهن ڪرڻ جي سگهه به هوندي آهي، سنڌ ۾ لوڪ ادب اهو ئي ڪم ڪيو آهي ، پر محققن لوڪ ادب ذريعي تاريخي ڇنڊ ڇاڻ وارو ڪم نه ڪيو آهي. ان ڪري سنڌي لوڪ ادب تي انهيءَ حوالي سان نظرثاني واري مطالعي جي ضرورت آهي.

    مثال طور لوڪ ادب ۾ مومل راڻي جي قصي جي حوالي سان  ٻه روايتون موجود آهن. هڪ لاڙ جي روايت ۽ ٻِي مقبول ، مشهور ۽ ماٿيلي سان لاڳاپيل روايت. لوڪ ادب ۾رومانوي داستانن جو هڪ کان وڌيڪ روايتون ٿينديون آهن. ان مان ڪا اربعا خطا ڪانهي . پر اهو ڪم محققن جو آهي ته ڇنڊي ڇاڻي تحقيق ڪري ڪنهن هڪ روايت کي ” معياري روا يت“ قرار ڏين .

    مثال طور ” سهڻي ميهار “ جي هڪ روايت سنڌ جي آهي ۽ ٻِي پنجاب جي. جيڪڏهن پنجاب جو لوڪ شاعر يا سگهڙ جيڪڏهن سسئي پنهون کي ذات جو موضوع بڻائين ته سسئي پنهون قصو ڪو پنجاب جي جغرافيائي حدن جو قصو بڻجي نه پوندو . بنهه انهي ڪسوٽيءَ مطابق مومل راڻي جي قصي جي جيڪڏهن ٿر يا جيسلمير جي روايت آهي ته انهي سان مومل، ماٿيلي ۽ مومل جي ماڙي جي تعلق کي ٽوڙي ٿر يا جيسلمير ۾  ڳولهي ۽ سوچي نه ٿو سگهجي . هن قصي جي معياري روايت کانسواءِ ٻين روايتن جو جنم وٺڻ انهي ڪري ممڪن ۽ جائز ٿي ٿو ته محبت جي مانڊاڻ انهن کي جغرافيائي حدن ان پنهنجي جوت ڏيکاري. اهي روايتون خود مومل راڻي جي وجود ۽ قصي جي تصديق ڪن ٿيون ته مومل راڻي جو قصو خيالي نه پر حقيقت تي مبني هو،

    پر لوڪ ادب ۾ انهن جي حيثت جهڙوڪ نيم تاريخي رومانوي داستان واري بڻجي پئي آهي. اسان وٽ لوڪ ادب جي سَهيڙ جو ته ڪم ٿيو آهي . پر ان جي ڇنڊ ڇاڻ تحقيقي ۽ تاريخي بنيادن تي نه ڪئي وئي آهي. انهيءَ ٻئي مرحلي، يعني تحقيق جوآغاز  هاڻي اسان کي ڪرڻو آهي. ان ڪري مومل ۽ ماٿيلي جي وارثن کي مومل ۽ مومل جي ماڙي ۽ ماٿيلي جي صحيح صورت پسڻ پسائڻ لاءِ تحقيقي ڪائونسل قائم ڪري لاڳاپيل لوڪ ادب جو تحقيقي جائزو وٺڻو پوندو. انهي سان اسان کي ڪيترين مبهم سوالن جا جواب ملي ويندا.

    اڄ هي جو دوستن مانڊاڻ سجايو آهي، ان جي روشنيءَ ۾ مون کي اهو نظر اچي ٿو ته منتظمين کي آرڪيالاجي جي عالمن ۽ محققن تي مشتمل ڪا مستقل ڪاميٽي ٺاهڻي پوندي ته جيئين ڳالهين منجهان کڙ تيل ڪڍي سگهجي .

    UN-TOLD HISTORY OF FREEDOM MOVEMENT (Activities of Sindh Congress & its branches)– HALA:
    Application, signed by many responsible persons of Hala Taluka have been sent to the Sindh Provincial Congress Committee and other Party leaders against the local Congress Committee for their open anti-Hindu activities in the Taluka resulting in much communal tension.
    Prof. N.R.Malkani, the local M.L.A came to Hala,in July 1947, and he was told all about activities of his party men. He did his best to persuade his workers to desist from these objectional methods, but the President of the local Congress Committee told him openly that he was no his subordinate and refused to follow his advice.Under the excuse that the last year Sindh Provincial Congress Committee passed a resolution in favour of dissolution of Zamindari System and it has badly affected the social status and stand of Hindu Zamindar and now every Hindu Zamindar is being hit. It paved way for Musim Haris to launch movements for their Hindu Zamindars.

    MEET WITH THE PEOPLE OF OUR PAST ( BHEROMAL MAHIRCHAND ADVANI):
    When we will prepare and compile the list of lovers of the literature and history of Sindh,the name of Kako Bheromal will be included in the top most lovers.He served in Salt Department and later on in the D.J.Sindh college, but his literary and research contribution is un-matched in his age-group.Born in 1875, he breathed his last in… 1950, So many scholars, including myself, have paid him homage in a befitting manner in their books. He rote so many books on history and fiction,but he will be remembered for his valuable books “Sindh Ji Qadeem Tarikh”, “Sindhi Hindun Ji Tareekh” & ” Sindhi Boli Ji Tareekh”.His work on Shah Latif (Latifi Saer) is unique approach towards understanding Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai.

Our Research Methodology and way of searching & obtaining Source – Material, make our work unique and to some extent second to none. let us take some examples. If we are told that Mr. so and so was earned imprisonment during British Era. It is anoral history and only claim, if not verified accordingly. This can be verified from following Sources: F.I.R lodged at Police Stations and Proceedings of concerned Court. Most of Freedom Fighters were booked and produced before Mukhtyarkars, City Magistrates and even High Court (The Court of Judicial Commissioner) and thanks GOD, relevant record is still available in offices of Mukhtyarkars, City Magistrates and RDMs. It is up to us that to what extentwe work to collect the information.

    SIndh produced two great singers Bhagat Kanwar & Chander during British Era. Though, they both were from Hindu community, but they were of Sindh, by Sindh and for Sindh.It is irony of fate that in spite of their un-matched service rendered for enriching our culture and pleasing minds and hearts of people, are no more placed in proper manner in our cultural history.We have avoided to conduct research on their lives & achievements, and even have not established in India or Sindh a Sound Library consisting of collection of their all sung items.Sindh witnessed days when conferences were held and singers were invited to prove their singing worth.We can arrange such a conference for paying homage to Kanwar & Chander also.I will suggest to our culture-lovers to take initiate for the compilation of a comprehensive Biography of these both preachers of love & peace, because they were role model in their field.

    MEET THE PEOPLE OF OUR PAST: (VASWANI BROTHERS)
    Milaram & Fathchand sons of Mangatram were born at Bungldero of Larkana District. The birth date of Milaram is not known, however, he breathed his last on 4th December 1972 in India. Fathchand was born on 22nd June 1894. He also migrated to Adipur, Gujrat, India after partition. Milaram was a great publisher, he founded “Sundar Sahitya Society” and published Child Literature,Novels and book on fiction. Though he published handsome numbers of translated books, but Fathchand was real translator of most of books. I have thrown light on valuable services rendered by Milaram and his Society in my Ph.D thesis in 1979.

    WE MAKE OUR EVENTS, INDIVIDUALS & ORGANIZATIONS OF OWN HISTORY UN-KNOWN AND UN-VISIBLE: (Part-1)
    We have taken the task of historical reseach as pleasing a few and befooling many.We avoid to collect and go through all sources of information and data relevant to the topic of our research. All this hasmade our history as myth and joke. For example we know a few names as our Freedom Fighters.
    Because there information was available. Where as they weresome of our freedom Fighters, but all of Freedom Fighters. We repeat a few and same names and ignore many. This repeation enhance monopoly of a few individuls and block all the ways and mean to determine position of others and makes the history story of individuals, families and tribes, but not of masses, by masses and for masses.

    WE MAKE OUR EVENTS, INDIVIDUALS & ORGANIZATIONS OF OWN HISTORY UN-KNOWN AND UN-VISIBLE: (Part-2)
    Our “individualism” has badly affected the real colours of our history. For making our history more comprehensive and of the people, by the people and for the people, Gul Hayat has introduced and applied new Methodolgy in historical research. We have compiled the list of Freedom Fighter and uploaded on our website.Though, number is more than 400 , but is some sort of a sample and not a complete list. It will take to be finalised. How ever we have completed the list of Political Parties and Presure Groups. There number is 45 and this list has also been uploaded. In such a way we have uploaded sample of the Chronology of Events and further research is in progress. In this way we are working on Individuals, Events and Organizations. Let me tell friends that the work of Gul Hayat is not compilation of history but creating condusive condition for that task.

The last President of the Party before creation of Pakistan was M.A.Jinnah, and he was also Sindhi by birth.
    This Annual Session was held in December and prior to this, Saeen G.M.Syed , though to much extent manipulation, but managed to got the Resolution of Pakistan Demand and pledge for affiliation with Pakistan on 3rd March 1943 from the Sindh Legislative Assembly.He also took active part in this Annual Session.

    THE UN-TOLD EVENTS OF SINDH HISTORY:KISHAN AND MOTOMAL ARE FREEDOM FIGHTERS, BUT UN-KNOW:
    Media, social status and promoters are important factors to make any body un-know or most popular personality. Most read in the pages of history are not only and only Heroes, but there are so many people, though played vital role, but due to factors indicated in the bigning, could not take place in the pages of history.
    on 21.5.1943, Kishan Jewatram and Motomal Dhanrajmal, both students of Muncipal High School of Larkano are arrested under various Sections of Defence of India Act.but no body knows about them, their role and contribution towards freedom movement.The complete proceeding of their case alongwith F.I.R and other Documents is preserved in Gul Hayat. There are so many other un-known Heroes and we
    can identify them only with research only.

  • “Remembrance Day: Heroes of Sindh” – An event of vital importance.

    “Remembrance Day: Heroes of Sindh” – An event of vital importance.

    Dr. Dur Muhammad Pathan

    Thanks to the World Sindhi Congress and Sindhi Sangat  U.K for arranging this event of vital importance. To me, this event will pave way for launching of Awareness Movement in Sindh and abroad.  Western world will be appraised of the sorrows and longings of Political Activists of Sindh. People in Sindh will be sure about the every possible help and support from their country-men living in other countries.

    Another importance of the event  is of Research Value.  Both, WSC and SS UK have invited attention of Researchers to conduct research on those Heroes of Sindh, who have scarified their lives for their country- her independence and bright future. I will pray that both Organizations must  take initiate and sponsor the proposed Research Project.

    Sindh has a wonderful record of her political lovers:

    In 1839, when Manora was occupied and Karachi was surrendered,  people of Karachi, in protest, killed an English Captain . Twenty people were arrested and five of them were hanged.

    Soon after beginning of the East India Company Rule Thakurs of Tharparkar  put office of Mukhtyarkar on fire. Napier was asked by the Governor-General to take care of situation. He sanctioned Annual Financial support for purchasing loyalty Upper Class of Thakurs and other Tribes. It is on record’

    During Mutiny of 1857, Sindhi availed opportunity of launching Movement against Rulers. Involved Sindhis were sent to Andaman in 1858. Soldiers of the Government, those were planning for revolt, were captured and blown up with Canon at the place near to the Empress Market.

    Hur Movement and underground Movement lunched by Pir Pagaro (Soorih Badshah)  took sacrifices of so many lives, including of Pir Pagaro. Martial Law was imposed on Eastern Part of Sindh.

    Congress launched so many movements of Non-Cooperation, Quit India etc. Its worker were killed in police shooting in Karachi. Great Hero of this era is a young Hindu of Sukkur, Himo Kalani.

    During Khilafat Movement participants faced State Terrorism. in spite of that so many  people   denounced Titles, earned imprisonment and refused to get Financial support from Government for their Schools/Maktabs.

    Muslim League played an ugly role to divide hearts. Its Movement for restoration of Masjid Manzilgah was meant to divide Sindh into Hindu and Muslim Camps. It was terrible game. We lost Bhagat Kanwar and Hassand Pamnani. They were real Heros of Sindh. Masjid Manzilgah took lives of so many innocent people. They all  are our victimized and forgotten Heroes.

    Allah Bux Soomro was killed and his killing was sponsored by the Government.

    After the partition and soon after inception of Jeay Sind , Sindh has been witnessing terrible state terrorism. So many young people and office bearers of J.S, has been disappeared by force, and handsome number has been killed mercilessly. They sacrificed their lives for their Motherland. They all are our Heroes.  We received dead bodies of Thori Phatak ja Shaheed, Habibullah Narejo, Samiullah Kalhoro, Qurban Khuhawar, Rooplo Cholhiani, Noorulla Tunio, Ijaz Solangi and others. Even, Bashir Qureshi was not spared and his life was taken in indirect way. These are not only Shaheed Heroes of our times, the number is very high.

    My briefing is to make you realize that there is dire need of conducting research  on the topic of Heroes of Sindh, as it will some sort of paying tribute to them.  Gul Hayat institute will extend unconditional support in providing source mater and sharing Research Methodology.

    Dear Dr Pathan,

    IISH considers it important that such work should be facilitated in the future. In this spirit, we would like to suggest that GHI and IISH be affiliated to each other. The purpose of this affiliation is to help ensure that material on the history of Sindh and other parts of Pakistan be conserved for future generations. IISH is looking forward to co-operation with GHI in the exchange of information and in other ways that may be of mutual benefit.
    We trust that this affiliation will lead to a strengthening of the GHI as well as to more scholarly interest in the history of Sindh at the IISH. To this end, we invite you, Dr dur Mohammad Pathan, in your personal capacity as well as in that of Director of the Gul Hayat Institute, to initiate this new co-operation between our Institutes in Sindh.

But much of History is lost because historical evidence is not preserved. This allows myths about the past to be fabricated, often in the service of powerful groups and individuals. It is the taste of historians to expose such myths – but for this they need evidence. It is here that the Gulhayat I institute provides a unique initiative for the understanding of t he complex history 0 f Sindh as well as the greater region. It has collected, preserved and made available to researchers an unparalleled collection of historical Source. (13.8.98. Willen van Schendel, Representative 0 f the international Institute 0 f Social History, Nether Land). “Great Congratulations. May your work become the seed of many educational, cultural and historical institutions all over Sindh. Please keep the UNESCO, the SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTE and other learned bodies regularly informed of your wonderful work” (Dr. G.M.Mehkri, dt. 06.06.91). “Dr. Pathan has developed the institute into the first of its kind in Sindh, and with distinction of coming up with out any kind of government help in the institute, you have to simply name the man famous in certain field and within moments you get complete profile.” (Dr. Maula Bux. “Date line Larkana”.DAWN, dt. June 3, 1991). I congratulate you on the fine example you are setting for your peers and society. (lM.Evan, Editorial Director American Biographical Institute, dt. Feb. 7, 1997). “It has been most interesting to learn of the existence of the institute, and see some of the material which has been collected. It was particularly interesting to look through some of the items relating to my late father, H.T.Lambrick” (Charles lambrick 4th Jan: 1997). “This is a most impressive and clearly valuable source of material on Sindh history, culture and politics, and a great achievement as a private initiative”. (George Lambrik, 4.1.1997). It was really an exciting omen to visit Gul Hayat Institute. The fascinating research activities to preserve the culture and politics of Sindh is marvelous. The founder is not only a source of inspiration, but also a sign of socio – religious philosophy and though.” (Syed AnwarIqbal, Dept. of Anthropology, Quaid-e-Azam university, Islamabad. Dee: 4,1996), impression. Pakistan 25.09.1996). This institute is really impressive and leaves one with good needs to have more of such institutions. “{Nino Puljek, Croatia, dt. “It is amazing that one person could, through his own efforts and sources create such an institution. This is a great contributiol1 to the intellectual development of Sindh. Future historians and scholars will benefit a lot from this material collected here. I hop the Government wouldextend some help to this institute and make it a national Institution “(Iqbal Jafar, T.V.D. Islamabad. dt. 05.02.1996). “I am deeply impressed b y the material available in Gul H ayat. Dr. Pathan’s efforts are laudable. His endeavors will go down in history; I congratulate him on this wonderful work” (Fakhar Zaman, Chairman, National Commission on History & Culture and Pakistan Academy of Letters, dt. 5.1.1996). “The experience of being here is inexplicable. The treasurers hidden here in this remote village in them selves are commendable but the thought and efforts behind this all can not be valued in simple words”. (Ms. Durdana Bhutt. T.V. Star dt. 19.11.1993). “Gul Hayat is the source of inspiration and a seat of mental development for desiring people”. (Dr. Rajub AMemon. Tando Jam University)

  • Sindh and the Indian Mutiny of 1857 By C.L. Mariwalla, BA

    Sindh and the Indian Mutiny of 1857 By C.L. Mariwalla, BA.

    (Read before the Sind” Historical Society 011 21st August 1940) The mutiny of 1R57was the last armed upheaval to overthrow the British in India. It was not only a sepoy mutiny but the mutiny of the Indian people as a whole. Thus wrote the Press, London. dated lst August 1857:_ “If the disaffection is confined to the sepoys and the civil population arc with us what on earth docs the Government of India mean hy troubling us with its calls fl’r European troops and its telegraphic alarms? There are men enough within its reach to raise ten armies from if the people be only well affected to us, as the ministers and directors state”. And it makes an interesting account to be recapitulating the part Sindh played in that futile attempt. Before we recount the incidents of this unsuccessful attempt in Sindh, it would not be out of place to consider the immediate causes of the rebellion and the elaborate arrangements made, inspire of a vigilant Government, Here is a version of how the army discontent was roused, as given by the Bombay Times, dated 2nd June 1857. Cartridges for the Enfield rifle were contracted to be made at Dum Dum in India. One day a Clashce who was engaged in making the new cartridges. met a Brahmin sepoy, lotah in hand. The Clashcc asked for a drink which the Brahmin declined to give as he did not know the other’s caste. “Caste”, replied the Clashcc, “In a few days, you will have no caste, for you will have to bite cartridges greased with the Iat of the bullocks and pigs”. The Bengal army contained high class men and this news soon spread among them. Pollusion and conversion to -Christianity was thought to he the aim of the introduction of the new cartridges. But that could not be the only cause of the mutiny, though it was the main cause. In the houses of Parliament it was brought to the notice 01 the members that contrary to contract. some fat in question had rcallv been used and thi~ informal ion resulted in a retort from Mr.’ Disracli who was in opposition at that time, The second and the final cause, in the words or the “Bombay Times” is as follows:_ “What lies at the bottom of the existing contumacy is a desire for increase in Pay.” lncrcascd ~25Sind!, Obscrv ..t! heaviness of duties due to the attempt at extension of the British Empire made the sepovs feel that they had a claim to higher pay. Whatever. might have been the ulterior motives of the leaders of the mutiny, these two were quite potent causes and it is surprising that no active sleps were taken to nip the trouble in the bud: instead, some interested persons were Janning the fire successfully. The success of a country-wide mutiny greatly depended on the speed of communications. For this purpose a novel plan was put into force which proved to be immensely successful. Here is the story and a comment thereon from the Friend of India, dated 24th March 1858:- “One morning towards the end of the last month (he officials of Fatehgarh were all in commotion, From Thana after Thana there arrived lillle.chappaties about 2 inches in diameter, It appeared that a few evenings previous, a Chowkidar from Cawnpore ordered a Chowkidar in Fatehgarh to make and bake 12 Chappaties such as the one he showed. Two he was to retain. Two more were to be given to each of the five nearest Chowkidars. The order was obeyed and long there was running and baking of Chappaties. The five’ obeyed orders also and distributed their message to 25 and so the affair went on, the cakes sweeping over the district at a speed at which no Indian post yet travels. The wave has not stopped yet. Is there to be an ‘explosion of feeling’, or only of laughter? Are the Chappaties of the Fiery Cross or only an indigestible edible, a cause of revolt or only of the Colic.” Having seen that the communications were prompt, and the people willing, thus “armed the mutiny broke out at Barrackpore. . ” Sindh had just been relieved from its Chaotic state under the Talpurs, in 1843. It was enjoying the benign rule of Sir Bartle Frere. The people had just settled down to a normal Peace-Time when the mutiny broke out. They were fully conscious of the great advantages of the new rule. They hardly mutincd. Not that alone. They helped the rulers considerably, to quell the rising. Here is a short diary of the events that look place in Sindh during the mutiny: _ Early in 1857, soon after Ihe out-break of the mutiny at Barrakporc, the harrowing talc~ ·of the butchery of the Europeans reached Karachi. The community was up and alarmed. They met i;l a public meeting on the 2()th (If June, under the Presidency of Sir 22(1Sind” and the Indian Mutin» of 1857 Bartle Frore. All bore anxious faces. It was a tense atmosphere. At last Sir Bartle broke the icc. He gave a brief account of the mutiny as culled from the official information received by him. He assured those present that they need not be afraid since there was no danger of an out-break in his province. This greatly relieved those present and the meeting dispersed. As soon as the mutiny assumed an All-India form, the Government of India passed the Press Gagging Act. This greatly handicapped the Press, who contemptuously termed it as the Black Act. Here is what the Sindh Kossid, a Bi-weekly of Karachi, of those days, says about it: – Never was a gubernotical act more ill-timed or ill-judged than that which has placed a tyrranical censorship over the Indian Press.” And in Sindh the axe first fell on the Sindh Kossid itself. This is how an editorial dated Friday 18th September 1857 details out the incident: – The proprietor printer and manager of the Sind” Kossid were summoned on Tuesday last to attend the Magistrate’s office to answer for ‘an article’. that appeared in our journal. The summons being for ‘immediate’ attendance and the vague allusion to ‘an article’ put us about not a Jittlf’_ first to • procure swift steeds to do ourselves the honour of ‘immediate’ attendance and secondly at looking. over all the paper in question and wondering what article it might bethat we were called upon to answer for. However the several parties attended, being escorted by the Editor who had fearlessly taken the brunt upon himself to answer all enquiries. The Magistrate, having received the usual salutations from the men of the Press, proceeded, with paper in hand, to read a part of our Kotri correspondent’s letter regarding an incident that had taken place at Kotri. Having accomplished this task of reading aloud. the authority before whom we were standing assured us (hat there was not the slightest truth in the statement, and that such mis-statements would oblige him to ‘stop the press’. He desired to be acquainted with the authority for the statement, which of course we ‘declined to furnish under any circumstances. We on our part assured “he Magistrate that the statement had been conveyed to us lhrough a gentleman upon whose veracity we had the utmost confidence and that it found a place in our columns under the impression that it Was correct. that we were sorry to find. [rum . thc Magistrate’s a~~lIrance. it was not so and that we should be careful in Iuturc nut til lay ourselves open to any such st;.ll\:l1Jcnt~. \The Magistrate exerted agall1 and reitcnlLcd hi, intention or “””7–,Sindh Ohsl”’w/ “stopping the press” should any mis-statements again find their way into our paper.” As the distress of the European community increased, a dcmi- official voluntary aid fund was started at Karachi. to which all ungrudgingly subscribed. This proved of great avail to the refugees. As the circumstances required, the Commissioner issued proclamations prohibiting sale of lire-arms and ammunition to the native population without previous Government permission. as also transmission of lead. sulphur, salt-petre, gun-powder etc. except for Government purposes. The Commissioner ordered a recruiting depot to he established in Upper Sindh, which in a short time, recruited battalians of Bcloochees for active service against the mutineers. Seth Naumal of Karachi made a gesture of loyalty hy promising to furnish a loyal and sturdy force of 3000 strong from Africa, if the Government provided the conveyance. He and the other Sethias of Karachi gave all the facilities that the Europeans mostly needed at this time . • The Government also opened a camel train from Karachi to Mullan, having stations after every 20 miles or so, where at each station were stationed about 50 camels ready for work. By means of this arrangement and the Indus Flotilla, the regiments were sent to the Punjab to suppress the rebellion there. But all was not quiet in Sindh. Lieut: Battis Combe received news on the 9th September of a plot at Hyderabad fixed for the 12th instant. ‘The cool courage of Brigadier Morris, and a timely gallop of the mounted police sufficed to prevent the signals of the disaffection taking effect.” The Native infantry was ordered a special parade immediately, where they were disarmed and the ring-leaders arrested. Even the native guard on the Fort was replaced by the ~u;trd of the Royal Fusilicrs and the fort guns were mounted for any crncrgcncv, A Court Marshal was held where the arch conspirator H a\ aldar Coornbarsing \Va!’>ordered to be shot from the guns, his accomplices were either to he hanged or were transported for life, only two being acquitted. ‘When the Havaldar came 10 face his ordeal. he lashed his hack to the muzzle.

N.

Gregor about the mutiny planned by the regiment at 2 p.m. on Monday morning. An orderly of the 21st. N.1. independent of the Oudh Brahmins, had similarly informed the Major. It had been decided to capture the treasury. murder the officers and proceed tn I-Iyderahad. Prompt arrangements were made to meet the situation. Major Mct ircgor immediately “consulted the Brigade Authorities, who without a moment’s delay ordered the whole of the European troops to he assembled and marched to the scene of anticipated revolt. The troops were lined up .Irthe parade ground or the 21st N.L, with two Artillery guns on each flank. After due arrangements, the assembly of the 21st N.I. was ordered, which met after due reluctance. This ncccssuatcd two Nine Pounders to he summoned for any eventuality.

Volunteer Corps for night patrol were started in Camp to relieve the European troops for a state of efficiency in emergency. Here is a circular issued by the commissioner to that effect dated ]6th September lS57: – “By the desire of Major General Scott, commanding the Division, all able-bodied non-military men possessing a horse and arms and willing to volunteer for patrol duties in and about the station, are invited to report themselves to Major Goldsmith or to Captain Johnstone who will give them instructions regarding the duty to be performed. It is suggested that for the present none should offer themselves who have family tics which render it a primary duty to remain at home and protect .their household.” Sd: H.B.E. Frere. European residents were promised easy supply of lire-arms for defence. The 14th N.I. was not touched due to their proven loyalty. At the time these incidents took place, the Commissioner Sir Bartle Frere was at his Bungalow at Clifton. Major Goldsmith’ was with him at that time. The Commissioner was immediately informed of the situation by Captain Johnstone. On hearing of the disturhance Sir Bartle came to town and inspected the Native lines. He found the state quite satisfactory. Out of the deserters 10 were caught and Court-Marshalled on the Hith and 17th of September. Of them 7 were sentenced to be hanged and the rest were to be shot from the guns. Seven more were captured and 3 others died during the capture. At long last the Arch-conspirator Ramdin Pondey was’ secured and shot from the guns on the nrd September, while his remaining accomplices were transported for life. They were marched along the Bunder Road under police escort to the Bundar to board the “Chusan” bound for Bombay. There was a semblance or a mutiny in the 16th Native Infantry at Shikarpur, but the trouble was nipped in the bud. The battery rose at mid-night and from their barrack-square commenced firing in all directions from which that place was accessible; but the prompt action of Colonel Stewart, the collector, and Colonel Montgomary, the police chief, out-witted and captured them. Soon after the force sat down before Delhi, the Frontier tribes planned their rising. Their leader Durriah Khan, the Chief of the Jakranis was to come to Jacohabad at 5 p.m., and his co-traitor Oil 2~OSindh and ‘he Indian Mutin» 1)( 1857 Murad, the chief of the khojas, was to follow at 10 a.m. the following day, when they had decided to butcher Major Mcrewcthcr and his officers who were to sit in durhar on that day. But lit 5-30 p.m., half an hour after his arrival Dhurriakhan was on a fast trotting camel on his way to Sukkur, heavily ironed, to he placed on board the steamer lying ready to start for Karachi. Two days later Oil Murad Khan, who made. off for the hills on hearing of his fcllowtraitor’s fate. followed in the same manner and the out-break was prevented. On the whole there was no serious trouble in Sindh. For this the Commissioner was chiefly responsible. He had so pleased the populace that they willingly recruited and formed into those brave Balooch regiments which were responsible for the capture of Delhi by the Government. Here is what seth Naumal says about the altitude of the Commissioner during the days of the mutiny: – “1 cannot sufficiently admire the patience. thought, judgment and courage evinced hy Sir Bartle Frere during these troublous and trying times.” But Sir Bartle ‘had to seck the co-operation of the people. Inspire of the fact that ..the generality of people in Sindh said that the English rule in India had well nigh come to a dose”, they fully co-operated with the Government. Sir Fredrick Goldsmith wrote in the Asiatic Quarterly Review as follows:- When speaking of the dead, those natives must not he forgotten who enabled Frere in the hour of danger to British Rule to dispense with his legitimate garrisons and trust to the resources drawn to himself from the hearts of the people he governed. . That has heen the tendency of Sindh all along. Thus Sindh played its part jn the mutiny of 1H57. Authorities quoted: – Nil. I ‘Memoirs of SCIh Naurnal’. No.2 ‘Sindh Kossid Filc~. 1~57.

  • SOME EVENTS ABOUT SINDH

    Feb 1990 Violent anti-government demonstrations organized by the Mohajir Quami Movement (MQM, a movement of Urdu-speaking Muslim immigrants who left India in 1947) in Karachi, the capital of Sindh and the largest city of Pakistan, left at least 60 people dead and over 100 injured. A curfew was imposed and troops were called in to restore order. The demonstrations were called by the MQM to protest against the alleged abduction of MQM members by supporters of the ruling Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP). Qaim A. Shah resigned as Sindh Chief Minister and was replaced by another PPP member, Aftab S. Mirani. A swap of 76 rival political activists followed army-sponsored talks in Karachi to end days of political violence between supporters of the MQM and the Jaye Sindh, which demands autonomy for Sindh, the home province of Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.
    May 1990 A curfew was imposed in Hyderabad, the second largest city of Sindh, following machine-gun battles between the Mohajirs (Muslim immigrants) and the native Sindhis. The situation deteriorated after the arrest of Qadir Magsi, a Sindhi nationalist leader. The death toll in the city reached over 80. Ethnic violence in Karachi left 13 dead including a senior MQM leader. The army was deployed in Sindh to help civilian authorities restore law and order. There were repeated allegations, which were difficult to verify, that law enforcement agencies favored the PPP followers and caused the deaths of innocents while attempting to bring the violence under control or by standing by and refusing to intervene. (State Dept. Dispatch, 02/91). The PPP denied the allegations.
    Aug 1990 President Ghulam Khan, pursuant to his constitutional powers, dismissed the Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) government of Bhutto and dissolved the national and provincial assemblies. Elections were called for respectively on October 24 and 27. A state of emergency was declared to enable the President to act in absence of the assemblies.
    Nov 1990 Nawaz Sharif, the leader of the Islamic Democratic Alliance (IDA), has been sworn in as Prime Minister, after his right-wing coalition defeated the PPP-led opposition.
    Jan 1991 The Hyderabad Press Club held its annual elections. Sindhi journalists boycotted it and there are now two press clubs. The government has agreed to allocate new flats in specific ethnic areas. Wounded victims of violence even attend hospitals divided along ethnic lines. During the last 5 years some 3,000 people have been killed in ethnic violence.
    Feb 1991 14 people have been killed and 26 others wounded in ethnic violence. The clashes were among the worst since Nawaz Sharif took office last November.
    May 1991 At least 5 people were killed and 16 wounded by gunmen in Hyderabad, as a faction of the Jaye Sindh called for a protest strike to mark the anniversary of the arrest of the faction’s leader, Qadir Magsi. But most shops opened as usual in the city, which is dominated by Mohajir settlers.
    Sep 1991 Three people were killed in bomb attacks during a strike in Hyderabad. Native Sindhis were protesting against the repatriation of Biharis, the so-called “stranded Pakistanis” from Bangladesh.
    Oct 1991 Life was disrupted in parts of Sindh after a strike called by the progressive group of the Jaye Sindh Tehrik to protest the appointment of a caretaker Chief Minister, Tariq Javed, who is from the Mohajir community. Javed is replacing Jam Sadiq Ali pending his return from medical treatment in London. The MQM is a partner in the Sindh government. The strike call was not heeded in Karachi, which is dominated by the Mohajirs.
    Jan 1992 Sindh separatist leader G.M. Syed has been put under house arrest, after his speech at a function held to celebrate his birthday challenged “the integrity of Pakistan.” As the leader of the nationalist Jaye Sindh, he supports the secession of Sindh and its establishment as a separate entity to be known as Sindhudesh.
    May 1992 Ties between neighbors Pakistan and India slumped further when Pakistani Interior Minister told Parliament that Indian intelligence was fuelling sabotage and terrorism in the restive province of Sindh. Opposition leader Bhutto said that an army operation in Sindh should be a part of a political package for the province. Speaking in a parliamentary debate, Bhutto demanded the allocation of job quotas in the federal and provincial governments and government-controlled corporations to natives of Sindh (Reuters, 05/26/92). President Ghulam Khan ordered the army to go into Sindh to “clean up the mess”. This would be the country’s biggest campaign to control ethnic violence, abductions and other crimes that have paralyzed life in the province.
    Jun 1992 After the first anniversary of the founding of the Jaye Sindh Progressive Party on March 21, the party has launched the second phase of its struggle, with the ultimate objective of fighting for complete independence for the province. The Jaye Sindh says its people have been suffering all forms of discrimination and brutalities at the hands of the Punjabi-dominated center. (BBC cites All-India Radio, 06/04/92). The army has accepted the blame for the deaths of nine villagers in Sindh and removed three commanders from their posts. Bhutto, who challenges the legitimacy of the state’s civilian government, said there will be no improvement in her home province until Sindhis are given their due rights (Reuters, 06/14/92). Y. Bakhtiar, the leader of the opposition in the Senate, has demanded more powers for the army in the Sindh operation. Troops have raided the offices of the government-allied MQM and begun to disarm its militants. The army launched a cleanup operation last month hoping to apprehend some 7,000 “robbers” operating from the forests of interior Sindh. The opposition had initially criticized the army for capturing only native Sindhis while ignoring other ethnic groups.
    Oct 1992 While reporting about human resource development in the defence industry, Economic Review reports the provinces of Sindh and Baluchistan have marginal representation in the defence forces. Representation from these provinces is essential for national integration. In order to attract Sindhis and Baluchis, a number of measures have been taken.
    Jan 1993 Pakistan took back the first batch of 300 Bihari refugees, the stranded Pakistanis from Bangladesh, after a wait of about two decades. While the beginning partly fulfills a 1990 promise by the ruling IDA to repatriate all the refugees — about 250,000 — they are reported to be far from universally welcome. Native Sindhis, championed by the opposition PPP, see them as a part of a long-running conspiracy by the Punjabi-dominated Islamabad government to further swamp the southern province with outsiders. Already the native Sindhis are a minority in their own province, particularly in the major urban centers. Conscious of Sindhi sensibilities, the government has promised to house the refugees in the eastern province of Punjab. But few doubt that any fresh influx of Biharis, like their million-plus ethnic kinfolk who have illegally spirited their way into Karachi in the past five years, will eventually gravitate towards Sindh’s urban centers (The Guardian, 01/11/93). Army troops were called in to patrol the streets of the southern Sindh cities of Karachi and Hyderabad, to avert a possible ethnic backlash in the wake of four bomb blasts that left 30 people dead and over 100 wounded in Hyderabad. Rival ethnic groups called for protests against the bombings. Political leaders including Mrs. Benazir Bhutto condemned the government’s failure to maintain law and order. No one has claimed responsibility for the killings, but police suspect the Jaye Sindh, a nationalist group opposed to the immigration of Urdu-speaking Biharis from Bangladesh (AFP, 01/25/93).
    Mar 1993 The Pakistan government has warned officials in all 4 provinces to take precautionary measures against possible terrorist attacks following a rash of explosions in Bombay that have killed nearly 300 and wounded more than 1,000 people. The government of Sindh, regarded as Pakistan’s soft-belly because of its long border with India, declared Karachi and several other districts as “sensitive areas” and sent additional forces to remain on alert. Pakistan and India regularly accuse each other of helping terrorists like Muslims in Kashmir against India, or nationalist forces in Sindh against Pakistan.
    Apr 1993 The Federal Minister of Defence Production Mir Bijrani announced his resignation from the cabinet. In his resignation letter, he cited the indifference of the coalition Prime Minister Sharif towards issues like stemming ethnic violence in Sindh, the apprehension of the native Sindhis toward the repatriation of Biharis from Bangladesh, and under-representation of rural Sindhis in the federal services (Middle East Intelligence Report, 04/11/93). President Ghulam Khan dismissed the Sharif government and dissolved the Parliament in view of conflicts over power sharing between him and the Prime Minister.
    May 1993 The MQM called for a boycott of the on-going provincial elections to protest the May 1 killing of an MQM leader. The party had long antagonized native Sindhis with its strong pro-Islamabad line. However, it broke away from the coalition government of Nawaz Sharif following an army crackdown on the MQM last June. The Supreme Court restored the Sharif government and the Parliament. However, the verdict did not end the crisis. The two sides instead have expanded their battle into a political control of the provinces.
    Jul 1993 The President, Prime Minister and Army Chief held a meeting in a last-ditch effort to avoid using the army to solve the country’s crippling political crisis. The opposition led by Mrs. Bhutto had asked the army to remove Sharif and arrange for new elections within 90 days. Bhutto cooperated last year when the army launched an operation against outlaws in her native Sindh. This helped the army improve its relations with the Sindhis, perceived as anti-army since 1979 when Bhutto’s father, Z. A. Bhutto, a native Sindhi Prime Minister, was hung for his alleged involvement in a political murder.
    Oct 1993 Benazir Bhutto has returned to power for the second time after three years in the political wilderness. Her PPP captured 86 seats in comparison to 72 by Sharif’s party in the National Assembly of 207 seats. Ms. Bhutto also strengthened her hold on Punjab, the richest and most populous province, and with allies, formed provincial governments in Punjab and Sindh.
    Dec 1993 Massive demonstrations organized by the Jaye Sindh Student Federation were held in several cities in Sindh in protest against the continued detention of M.G. Syed, the leader of the Sindh separatist organizations — the Jaye Sindh Movement and the Sindh National Alliance. The Jaye Sindh Progressive Party Chairman Dr. K. Makhti has asked Islamabad to stop the on-going anti-Sindhi operation launched by the army in the province (BBC cites All-India Radio, 12/17/93).
    Jan 1994 Arrangements for a forthcoming census March 26 to April 7) have been finalized. The former Sharif government started the process in 1991, but abandoned it half-way when a controversy arose in Sindh about the exaggeration of household numbers. In Sindh two major ethnic communities — Sindhis and Mohajirs — are engaged in a battle of claims and counterclaims about their population ratios. Both reject the existing census figures as totally off the mark (Economic Review, Pakistan, 01/94).
    Mar 1994 Leaders of the Indian community in Manila have urged the Philippine government to stop immigration officers from extorting money from Filipinos of Indian origin and other immigrants residing in the country. There are about 20,000 Indians in the Philippines — most of whom are Sindhis, who fled from Pakistan after the partition of the subcontinent in 1947.
    Jun 1994 A Pakistani court sentenced the entire leadership of the MQM to 27 years in prison each for kidnapping and torturing a military intelligence officer. The prosecution claimed that on the orders of MQM leader Altaf Hussain, his supporters kidnapped and severely beat up Major Kaleem and his 4 assistants in June 1991. Hussain went into exile in London more than two years ago. He is the leader of about 10 million Mohajirs who live in the major urban centers of Sindh.
    Oct 1994 The leader of the MQM, Altaf Hussain, has asked his followers if they favor the division of Sindh and the creation of a separate Mohajir province. Hussain’s statements from his exile in London, have angered Sindhis in the province. One Sindhi newspaper has accused the US of helping the MQM create another Hong Kong in the heartland of Pakistan. Sindhi nationalist parties have uniformly condemned Mr. Hussain as a traitor and an Indian agent bent on destroying the country. In rural Sindh, Sindhis have begun to arm themselves. In the 109 seat Sindh Provincial Assembly, the MQM has 27 urban seats which has deepened the urban-rural divide (Daily Telegraph, 10/07/94). A scheduled population census has been abruptly postponed by the Pakistani government in response to ethnic rivalries and hostility from provincial authorities. The census was scheduled to begin on October 23; however, the federal government has begun a nationwide enumeration of housing units in preparation for the census. The last official census was taken in Pakistan in 1981. Punjabis feel that the census would be unfair to them as they fear that other provinces might inflate their populations to obtain more federal funds (Punjab is estimated to hold 60% of the country’s population). In Sindh, native-Sindhi speakers and the Mohajirs claim to outnumber each other. The Baluchis felt the census should be postponed until the Afghan refugees are repatriated (Agence France Presse, 10/19/94).
    Dec 1994 The withdrawal of the army from Karachi three weeks ago has led to an eruption of unprecedented violence. The army pullout ends a 29 month operation that had come under harsh criticism from human rights activists for its excesses against civilians. Police and paramilitary forces appear unable to stop the violence which has led to the deaths of over 90 officers and more than 750 civilians this year. Prime Minister Bhutto has agreed to open talks with the MQM. The violence involves four different conflicts between the Sindhis and Mohajirs, various factions of the Mohajirs, rival criminal gangs, and the Sunnis and Shias (Times Newspapers Ltd., 12/21/94; Financial Times, 12/28/94). The violence has also led to increased tensions between India and Pakistan. The Pakistani government alleges that the violence has been fomented by Indian agents. This has led to the closure of the Indian consulate in Karachi and the expulsion by both countries of two diplomats (Times Newspapers Ltd., 12/21/94; Financial Times, 12/28/94).
    Jan 1995 The Sindh government is reported to have offered close to $500,000 in “head money” for sixteen suspects, including eight MQM leaders who are accused of capital crimes. The move comes on the heels of the deployment of elite Pakistani army units in Karachi. Some 160 people were killed in Karachi last December due to battles among various groups (see above). Karachi’s Mohajir community is embittered over alleged discrimination in employment and university admissions. There is only one Mohajir minister in the Sindhi-dominated provincial government. Native Sindhis are upset because they believe that the fruits of economic development policies are largely received by immigrant-dominated cities in the province (Asiaweek, 01/13/95).
    Apr 1995 The head of the Jaye Sindh movement, G.M. Syed, has died. The Jaye Sindh has been seeking a separate “Sindudesh” homeland in the province. It has a strong following in rural areas and among the intelligentsia, but has not been able to gain enough support to win an election. Syed, who was 92, had been under house arrest for the past three years and was facing treason charges before a Karachi court. He died in a Karachi hospital after being in a coma for 39 days. Syed began his campaign for a separate Sindh state in the 1930s when he sought to divide Sindh from Bombay province (Reuters, 04/25/95).
    Jun 1995 At least 17 people were killed in Karachi as violence erupted over the alleged gang rape of a Mohajir girl. The girl has identified her main attacker as a local leader of the Pakistan People’s Party. For the past two months, Karachi has suffered from another wave of violence that daily results in the deaths of 5 to 10 people. The latest violence follows the call for a protest by the MQM. It has spread to other Mohajir-dominated towns in the province. (UPI, 06/23/95).
    Jul 1995 The federal government has issued 21 conditions in its talks with the MQM in response to the 18 points earlier put forward by the Mohajir movement. Among these points, the government has asked the MQM to give up what it calls a “policy of ethnic cleansing” and the targeting of other ethnic groups such as Punjabis, Sindhis, Pashtuns, and Baluchis. In the past, powerful Sindhi politicians have sabotaged talks between the government and the MQM. So far, over 1000 people have been killed in Karachi in battles between militants and police/paramilitary troops. 334 people were killed last month alone. It is unclear from reports how many of those killed are Sindhis (Daily Telegraph, 07/07/95 & 07/13/95).
    Aug 1995 In Karachi on August 2, the bodies of 12 people were found in a mini-bus while six others were killed in attacks by unidentified gunmen.
