Sindhi was found in the hieroglyphs of Moen Jo Daro. It is where the language was born. Some say Sanskrit is its mother, others believe they are sister languages. It is a rich language, spoken by many in the subcontinent, but scholars are worried it is not being preserved.
This was said in an online event The Future of Sindhi Language, held by Pinch Media, an international film company. The event was moderated by The Citizen Foundationâs Ajay Pinjani, and guests were Asha Chand, founder of Sindhi Sangat and Dirven Hazari, YouTuber and founder of Sindhionism. They are both Indians. Ghazala Rahman Rafiq, the director of Sindh Abhyas Academy at SZABIST, was the third guest.
