RARE PHOTOGRAPHS OF
HYDERABAD SIND
The following photographs
and information was received by me through the internet.
Will be happy to give the
credit to whoever it is due.
Hyderabad, (Sind) founded in
1768 by Ghulam Shah, was the capital
of Sindh until it fell to
the British in 1843 after the battle
of Miani six miles north of
the city.
Photographs of the old city
of Hyderabad are extremely rare.
The triangular
structures on the rooftops are wind catchers
called ‘Manghas’
The funnel directs the breeze into the
homes below.
THESE PHOTOS OF
HYDERABAD SIND
Sindhis: The Unique Five Million
They were the people
Who were denied their ancient land
5000 years old Civilization.Moan Jo Daro
They paid supreme price for FREEDOM OF INDIA.
They were the people
Who dwelled on the banks
of river Sindhu
Where Rig Veda was evolved
Then Upanishads took shape,
Who believed in peace and tranquility
And in universal brotherhood.
But in the year 1947,
Were forced to migrate.
They came empty handed
Many with only clothes on their back
Assigned in dilapidated barracks
Leaking roofs and missing privacy
And had to stand in line for free rations.
But, instead of whining or moaning
They stood proud and erect
They took, not arms, but creative intelligence
They believed in knowledge and education
And went forward.
Next 50 years
They traversed many lands and oceans
By hard work and perseverance
They spread prosperity everywhere
They built new houses
They built new hospitals
They built new schools and colleges
Gave free aid and scholarships
And advanced trade and industry.
The Original Unique five Million Sindhis
The peaceful people, the hospitable people
The generous people
The proud and independent people
The self-reliant people
Without a millimeter of their land.They survived
They are survivors,they are tough,
They are HINDU SINDHIS.
