Arrival of Islam in South Asia; Its Historical Perspective  The arrival of Islam in South Asia through Sindh in 711-12 AD, led by Muhammad Bin Qasim, marks a significant moment in history. While it's commonly believed that this invasion was a deliberate effort to spread Islam, the reality is much more different than that. Historians mostly agree that Islam came to South Asia in 712 AD but religious clerics have their own interpretations which are contradictory to the view of historians. Historically, there's a divide in interpretations. Some hail Raja Dahir as a hero for resisting Arab invasion, while others see Muhammad Bin Qasim as a liberator, freeing oppressed communities like the Shudras, Dalits, and Adivasis (low caste Hindus) from Brahmans and Pandits (upper class) caste oppression.  The backdrop to this invasion reveals a complex narrative. Arab traders, mainly from Baghdad, often travelled towards South Asia via sea routes, with Sailon (modern-day Sri Lanka) serving a...

A POEM BY RAJA BAHAR KHAN SOOMRO   Introduction People of Sindh are emotionally attached to the Indus River and so am I. Similarly, the Indus River is the only source of agriculture in Sindh, one of the provinces of modern-day Pakistan. It has a length of about 3120 kilometers (1940 miles).

MY DELIGHT Thou the Mehran, thee the giant of Himalaya; You the Sindhu, the heart & soul of the Sindh , Thou the Tibetian beauty, thee the Alexandria; You the queen of...
