Re: Sons of Soil and Sindhi Language
Its not about PPP and its contribution towards Sindh that should determine Sindh’s attachment for its language. If you think that people of Sindh owe anything to PPP or Bhutto family for the status of their language, then you are wrong.
By discrediting Sindhi means steps like below:
-
While Sindhi was being used as medium of instruction for around a century in Sindh, just three years after Pakistan’s independence, Sindhi students of Karachi University were told that they can’t use Sindhi as a medium of instruction from now? Any justification for such draconian steps in modern societies?
-
Wiping off Sindhi names from Sindh’s railway stations
-
Imposing a decision during one-unit that voters lists will be in Urdu and not Sindhi (even in Sindhi majority areas)
-
Orders to postmen not to deliver letters having ‘Sindh’ written in address during one-unit
These all steps were reversed not because of PPP, but the struggle of Sindhi masses and intellectuals. We don’t owe anything to PPP in this regard, so connecting PPP and referring them as son of soils is highly mistaken (when Bhutto family even can’t speak proper Sindhi).
Why PPP is ruling Sindh is a political discussion and PA is the most suitable place for such debates.
