The issues that we write about are not an object of a distant past, but ongoing. Few people know of Sindh or its persecuted indegenous communities and it is our duty to spread awareness. Authors and Contributors Ayia Ghazy Ayia Ghazy is a senior at University of North Florida studying Political Science with a minor in Criminal Justice. Her interest in politics first came about because of experiencing first-hand the contempt of the Egyptian people towards the police force and the government, after years of violations and discrimination. After graduation she plans on getting her Master’s degree in either International Relations or Criminal Justice. Billy Hackett Billy is an undergraduate senior at the University of Florida pursuing two Bachelor's of Arts in Political Science and International Studies with a regional focus in Latin America.

  • Archaeological Surveys in Lower Sindh: Preliminary Results of the 2009 Season
    Journal of Asian Civilizations -1- Archaeological Surveys in Lower Sindh: Preliminary Results of the 2009 Season Paolo Biagi ABSTRACT In January-February 2009 archaeological surveys were conducted in three different regions of Lower Sindh, from Ranikot, in the north, to the Makli Hills, in the south. They resulted in the discovery of many sites and flint spots within a territory the archaeology of which was previously poorly known. This paper is aimed at the description of these finds, their cultural attribution and, whenever possible, absolute chronology. Particular attention has been paid to the radiocarbon chronology of the sites located on the rocky outcrops that rise from the alluvial plain of the Indus delta, a few of which indicate that seafaring along the northern shores of the Arabian Sea was already active at least since the very beginning of the seventh millennium uncal BP. 1. PREFACE This paper is a preliminary report of the surveys carried out in January and February 2009 in Lower Sindh, between Ranikot, in the north, and the Makli Hills, in the south. The scope of the surveys, which were part of a joint venture by Ca’ Foscari University, Venice (I) and Sindh University, Jamshoro (PK), was to discover new archaeological sites in a territory insufficiently explored, and define their cultural attribution and absolute chronology by radiocarbon dating. Although some parts of the above region had already been surveyed by other authors (see, for instance, MAJUMDAR, 1934; COUSENS, 1998; FRANKE-VOGT, 1999; FLAM, 2006), our attention focused mainly on territories never accurately investigated before. The surveys were conducted by systematic walking in the three main, well- defined areas described in the following chapters (fig.

  • Justice ZA Channa Is Wellknown and Respected Name In
    Justice Z.A Channa is wellknown and respected name in the Sindh Legal Committee. I have had the privilege of close association with the entire family. His younger brother Mr.Hamied Channa was my friend and classmate. Not only that but our families were neighbours in the then only Muslim Colony (Appt.20 house owned by notable names such Kazi-s (A.G.N’s family)-Mirza-Khuhro-G.M. Syed ) in Karachi. Channa family occupied the corner house facing what is presently as Nishtar Park, while Soomoros had diagonally the other end on Britto Road. My personal and official dealings with him developed during one unit period, when he was posted in the Law Department of W-Pakistan Government Lahore. He, without any doubt, enjoyed the reputation of being an efficient officer and prompt in his functions. The senior beaurocracy greatly appreciated his professional skill and expert legal knowledge and advice. He was a prolific write and has numerous books on legal matters to his credit. It can be proudly mentioned that as a judge of Sindh High Court, he was known for prompt disposal, of pending cases, justly and courageously. In my personal assessment he was most suitable to represent Pakistan at the level of international judiciary. Late Justice Z.A. Channa passed his masters and Law from Aligarh Muslim University and joined Famous Lawyer, Kazi Khudha Baksh’s Law as Junior Lawyer in 1941. He appeared for P.C.S Examination and was selected and posted as Civil Judge Mehar in 1946. He was posted as Additional City Magistrate Karachi in 1948, and was duty at Quaid-e-Azams Funeral on 11th September 1948, he walked along with Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan and others Leaders, to the Mazar.

  • Sindhi Community – Shiv Sena
    Refugee Review Tribunal AUSTRALIA RRT RESEARCH RESPONSE Research Response Number: IND30284 Country: India Date: 4 July 2006 Keywords: India – Maharashtra – Sindhi Community – Shiv Sena This response was prepared by the Country Research Section of the Refugee Review Tribunal (RRT) after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the RRT within time constraints. This response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum. Questions 1. Is there any independent information about any current ill-treatment of Sindhi people in Maharashtra state? 2. Is there any information about the authorities’ position on any ill-treatment of Sindhi people? RESPONSE 1. Is there any independent information about any current ill-treatment of Sindhi people in Maharashtra state? Executive Summary Information available on Sindhi websites, in press reports and in academic studies suggests that, generally speaking, the Sindhi community in Maharashtra state are not ill-treated. Most writers who address the situation of Sindhis in Maharashtra generally concern themselves with the social and commercial success which the Sindhis have achieved in Mumbai (where the greater part of the Sindh’s Hindu populace relocated after the partition of India and Pakistan). One news article was located which reported that the Sindhi community had been targeted for extortion, along with other “mercantile communities”, by criminal networks affiliated with Maharashtra state’s Sihiv Sena organisation.
