2. “ I will personally go and request the Prime
Minister to start a channel to showcase the
outstanding talent of the Sindhi community.
Besides, they are also doing a lot of social
work that can be shown on the channel "

4.  The “Sindhi culture” is of the 5000 yrs old ancient
civilization,
 The partition of India in 1947 uprooted the Sindhis from
their homeland.
 They were forced to migrate to other parts of the country,
leaving behind their material wealth and the rich cultural
heritage.

5.  Sindhi is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by
approximately 17 million people in the province of
Sindh, Pakistan.
 Sindhi is also a recognised official language of
India, where it is spoken by approximately 1.2
Million members of an ethnic group which
migrated from the province of Sindh, Pakistan
during the partition of British India in 1947.
 The language can be written using Devanagari or
the Arabic scripts.

6.  People name: Sindhi
 Country: India
 Their language: Sindhi (Lari)
 Population:
 (1990) 1,732,300
 (1995) 1,905,600
 (2000) 2,081,300

7.  Today the Sindhi population living in minority status in
various parts of India and else where in the world.
 Lacks the availability of Sindhi language education in the
main stream curriculum of the local schools and colleges.

 Naturally the new Sindhi generation has neither the
opportunity nor the incentive to learn their own language.
 Currently even in Pakistan the official language in Sindh is
not Sindhi but Urdu.

8.  Television media, without doubt is the most powerful
media for promoting any language.
 Respective State Governments provide the resources
for these programs to ensure the promotion of these
languages.
 These programs can be seen in many countries,
including in Dubai.
 There is unfortunately no Sindhi State in India , which
can ensure promotion of our beloved language and a
DD-Sindhi as part of it.

10.  Sindhi language is enshrined in the 8th Schedule of
the Indian Constitution since 1967.
 Hence, the Government of India is duty bound to
promote Sindhi language.
 In the absence of a sponsoring state, DD-Urdu and
have been launched directly by the Centre.
 Sindhi is now the ONLY language in the above
Schedule (out of 22 Languages listed in the schedule)
which does not have a DD Channel.

11.  Since March 2007, Sindhi Sangat has started a 30-
minute Sindhi TV program "Sindhi Surhan" on
Doordarshan Sahyadri from Bombay.
 High quality Sindhi TV programs, including new
Sindhi Tele-films and Music Videos broadcast on the
channel have been well received y one and all.
 followed by appreciative and encouraging response
from thousands of Sindhis.
 The only common complaint and suggestion has been
to increase the program duration.

12.  Quality Sindhi programs requires dedication, time,
effort and money.
 Many lovers of Sindhyat and Sindhi language have
offered valuable support and encouragement by
sponsoring the Sindhi Tele-films and other related
activities. But much is still needed to be done.
 We will welcome wider involvement, support and
participation from every Sindhi in this field.

13.  By sheer hard work, they overcame all adversities and
regained their monetary, educational and social status,
but at a very heavy price.
 Sindhi community started losing their cultural roots
and identity.
 The Sindhi Language is also fighting a losing battle,
especially with the younger generation.

14.  The only hope today is the power of the Television to
reverse this trend. Television without doubt is the
most powerful media for promoting any language.
 Respective State Governments provide the resources
for these programs to ensure the promotion of the
language.
 This is time for Sindhi Community to come and fight
for their rights.
