Their dedication to education
People think of Sindhis as committed to business and money.
This episode is about how important education was in Sindh, the thrust for women’s education and the yearning for a life of the mind. People strived for
education for their children, knowing that it paved the way for a better life. After Partition, Sindhis set up schools and colleges in the places where they
settled so that the education of their own children would not be interrupted and their teachers and educationists would continue in their professions.
There are many high points in this episode, here are a few:
- the reception HK Kirpalani received when he came home to Hyderabad after having been accepted into the Indian Civil Service, an occasion of joy and celebration for the entire province
- Rabindranath Tagore and some connections between Sindh and Bengal
- a glimpse into the long heritage of education the Amils of Sindh have
- the diary of a Sindhworki – some important notes and a gentleman's guide on how to do business
