Late comrade Hyder Bux Jatoi, is known by his supporters as "Baba-e-Sindh" (Father of Sindh). He was also a Sindhi writer and poet and translated Quran in Sindhi. In 1945 he resigned from his important post as deputy collector in the British colonial government and was appointed as the secretary of Sindh Hari Committee (Sindh Peasant Committee). He also started a weekly newspaper called "Haari Haqdar," which was an influential method of communication for other Committee leaders as well. After Pakistan came into being, on August 14, 1947, the Sindh Haari Committee urged the Sindh Assembly to articulate agricultural laws. The Sindh Tenancy Act was finally approved in 1950 but Sindh Hari Committee had to fight for it to get approved. A long march was organized by the committee and some 15,000 members of the committee marched on foot from various areas in rural Sindh, all the way to Karachi, and staged a protest in front of the Sindh Assembly building. In 1958, during Ayub Khan’s martial law, all political activities were banned and many leaders of the committee were imprisoned including Jatoi which proved to be a major set-back for the movement as the committee because of absence of effective leadership. The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) emerged as a solid force in West Pakistan after the second Martial Law in 1969. Many leaders of the movement joined the Pakistan People’s Party which led to the decline of the movement. Haider Bux Jatoi passed away on May 21, 1970 Figure 2-Hyder Bux Jatoi2 1 Wikipedia, (2016).

The family is the basic unit of production and consumption”.1 Peasants’ rights! “As human beings, peasants and other people working in rural areas are entitled to all human rights that have been recognized by the United Nations (UN) General Assembly since the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, including those enshrined in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) adopted in 1966. However, almost 50 years after the adoption of these two instruments, the vulnerability of peasants and other people working in rural areas; including herders, pastoralists and fisherfolk; remains of particular concern. They represent 70 per cent of the people living in extreme poverty and 80 per cent of the world hungry.

  • The Case of Sindh – G.M
    G M Syed The Case of Sindh – G.M. Syed's Deposition in Court A Word from Publisher This dissertation (on the Case of Sindh before the Court) by G.M. Sayed, the great leader of the people of Sindh, is the English translation of its original in Sindhi, published in 1993, entitled "Sindh Galha-ay-thee" (Sindh Speaks). The purpose of this publication Is to inform the intellectual world at large - since English today commands position of the foremost communication medium internationally - of what transpired in the politics of the Indian sub-continent, more particularly in the context of Sindh, during the split- decade of 1937-47, and with what grave consequences, immediate and distant, both historical and cultural. What happened in the sub-continent was, infect a part of the post- War 11 convulsions that overtook the human world globally. With time, this world is once again taking now a direction to a new politico-economic and ideological re-structuring affecting also its geography visibly. What socio-political map of our world in the sub- continent would emerge at the advent of the twenty first century and onwards depends on the shape of the wave of change building up before us in this crucial last decade of the 20th century. Books speak out when courts sit dumb and deaf, and hundreds and thousands of the readers sit on the seats of judgment on the right and wrong of the causes that clasp the mind and soul of societies for better or worse. Such books, symbolize the cry of the suffering people and articulate their hopes and aspirations, pose a challenge to the rulers and question the legitimacy of their mansions and systems of rule.

In early forties, when the straw of Pakistan was floating in the wind, some of the radically minded youth from the Karachi Colleges, fearing the uncertain fate of Sindh in the political arrangements, had raised a cry to forewarn the people of Sindh, of the calamity that was in store for them, if Pakistan became a political reality. To counteract the communalization of the politics and to give expression to the national aspirations of the Sindhi people, they raised the slogan "Sindh for Sindhis". One of them, an intellectual of outstanding caliber and a staunch nationalist wrote a book entitled "Save Sindh, save the continent". With his prophetic insight he had visualized the unfolding of the tragic course of events that was to follow in the subcontinent in the wake of the partition.
