FOREWORD
The present book "papers on Sindhi language and
linguistics" is the collection of 50 research articles contributed by the
scholars of high repute both contemporary and earlier. Dr. G.A.
A Ilana has made laudable efforts in collecting, collating and putting
together invaluable material covering historical/archival as well as
current information for the use of research scholars.
Jn this way one finds a vast sea of knowledge on language,
literature, history, culture, education, linguistics, grammar,
lexicography and even alphabet between two covers in this treatise.
The research scholars working on many aspects of Sindh now
would not bother to scan through a number of sources for the
material.
It is no less service to bring at one place Aitken, Burton,
Grierson, Lambrick, Parker, Sorley, Stack, Trumpp, Turnner, Baloch,
Thadhani and many other luminaries including Allana himself in
one volume. This collection encompasses both 19th and 20th
centuries, by the contributors who are literary and social historians,
having made a special mark as the celebrated writers of the
Victorian era as well as modem times.
As the book is based on authoritative sources of two
centuries, three general impressions emerge from its reading as a
whole;
(a) The extensive collection of archival material,
obviously a subject of vital importance.
(b) A selection of a wide range of valuable writings of the
most outstanding contemporary writers both native
and orientalists.
(c) A handy aid to scholars interested in finding out
material on Sindh: its language, literature and culture.
I congratulate the Institute of Sindhology for its timely
efforts in publishing this book. I know there are many others of this
type in pipe line and I would call upon the Director Incharge,
Institute of Sindhology to bring them in the market as early as
possible.
