Sons of Soil and Sindhi Language

Re: Sons of Soil and Sindhi Language

Muqawwee,

In Pakistan, if there’s one single place where racism is a serious issues and politics of crass xenophobia sells like hot pancakes then it has to be Sindh! So clearly, there’s are many different aspects to explain the long history of turbulent race relations in that particular area than stating locals’ innocent attachment to their language and drawing any tenuous links. I find it incredibly amusing how you effortlessly ran a trial of Jinnah for not allowing Sindhi the status of official and called him the so called founding father (I’m genuinely interested to know which particular founding father is considered the real founding father of the country among Sindhis - it cannot be one of the Bhuttos for sure) but when the same question is asked to sons of soil and what they have done to grant Sindhi language the status Sindhis are apparently struggling for, you quickly redeemed the PPP by saying oh no Sindhi is in a strong position in the province? Then what exactly is the issue? If sons of soil are not supposed to do anything for Sindhi language despite remaining in power for decades then whose responsibility is to fix Sindh and Sindhi? Evil outsiders?
