People From Hyderabad, Sindh
The term "the people" refers to the public or common mass of people of a polity. As such it is a concept of human rights law, international law as well as constitutional law, particularly used for claims of popular sovereignty. In contrast, a people is any plurality of persons considered as a whole. Used in politics and law, the term "a people" refers to the collective or community of an ethnic group or nation. Concepts Legal Chapter One, Article One of the Charter of the United Nations states that "peoples" have the right to self-determination. Though the mere status as peoples and the right to self-determination, as for example in the case of Indigenous peoples (''peoples'', as in all groups of indigenous people, not merely all indigenous persons as in ''indigenous people''), does not automatically provide for independent sovereignty and therefore secession. Indeed, judge Ivor Jennings identified the inherent problems in the right of "peoples" to self-determination, as i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sindhi-language Writers
Sindhi ( ; or , ) is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by more than 30 million people in the Pakistani province of Sindh, where it has official status, as well as by 1.7 million people in India, where it is a scheduled language without state-level official status. Sindhi is primarily written in the Perso-Arabic script in Pakistan, while in India, both the Perso-Arabic script and Devanagari are used. Sindhi is a Northwestern Indo-Aryan language, and thus related to, but not mutually intelligible with, Saraiki and Punjabi. Sindhi has several regional dialects. The earliest written evidence of modern Sindhi as a language can be found in a translation of the Qur’an into Sindhi dating back to 883 AD. Sindhi was one of the first Indo-Aryan languages to encounter influence from Persian and Arabic following the Umayyad conquest in 712 AD. A substantial body of Sindhi literature developed during the Medieval period, the most famous of which is the religious and mystic poetry of Sha ...

The minimalist plots of the ''Gulistans stories are expressed with precise language and psychological insight, creating a "poetry of ideas" with the concision of Formula, mathematical formulas ...

Institute Of Sindhology
Institute of Sindhology () is a resource for knowledge of the Sindh region in present-day Pakistan. History The history of the institute goes back to the establishment of the Sindhi Academy in 1962 by the University of Sindh. This was during the period of the One Unit Scheme which saw the Sindhi language displaced by Urdu in official discourse, with a consequent revitalisation of Sindhi nationalism. The desire to promote a cohesive Sindhi identity, in opposition to the monolithic West Pakistan province, spread through a student and academic population which had significantly increased in number and it led to several defining events at the University of Sindh. As a part of a socio-political movement there was a desire to research, preserve, promote and create Sindhi culture in language, literature, film and art. Much of this was underpinned by the myth of origin, propagated by researchers, that there was a recognisable and continuous Sindhi culture stretching over 5000 years f ...
