Re: To those living in Sindh province..
apart from involvement in liquor supply by men, Hindu ladies are also expert in preparing papaR, achar and Halwas.
This Diwali I got chance to have halwa from neighbors and it was 
Regarding papaR, many Hindus who settled in India, their ladies helped and contributed in income by selling papaR. Yesterday, I read a story ‘Bhoori’ translated from Sindhi to English in a book ‘Unbordered memories’, where a poet’s wife was angry because her husband stared at a lady who came to their home in Baroda for selling paapaR and afterwards came to know that the papaR wali lady was a neighbor of the poet in Hyderabad Sindh before partition. The poet shares with the wife about the grief that Sindhi Hindus left everything in Sindh and just carried beautiful faces with them to India and that beauty was affected due to hardships in settling in new land. The story ends with the positive note by the poet that in all that process Sindhi ladies turned into independent and self sufficient. :k:
