BEING an original resident of Sindh and speaking the Sindhi language, I endorse the views of Manzoor H. Kureshi published in these columns on Jan 13. It is right to say that a good number of books on the history of Sindh have been written but unfortunately our government and other semi-government and private organisations did not bother to publicise the availability of the books nor did anyone bother to continue research on the new trends in the field of historical facts on Sindh.

I would like to say that a new private institution under the name of the ‘Sindh Historical Organisation’ be established with private funds.
