The Greatest Epic Poetry of Sindh
An epic poetry came to be composed in the reign of Soomra Kings of Sindh in about 1298-1300 A.D. when General Zaffar Khan of the Imperial armies of Sultan Allauddin Khilji of the Sultanate of Dehli, attacked the king Sultan Asad-al-Millat Dodo Soomro of Sindh. In this battle, the valliant King Asad-al-Millat Dodo Soomro was martyred.
Bhago Bhan, (1) the Court poet of the Soomra kings of Sindh, composed this great classic epic poetry orally, in Sindhi language. As per oral poetic traditions, poetry was transmitted to the audience and from performer to performer (singers) by oral means, as argued by Albert Lord and Milman Parry. (2)
In Sehwan, he came to know that there was a rift between the Soomra brothers, Dodo and Chanesar , that Chanesar was dethroned and Dodo had become the king of Sindh. General Zaffar Khan was an unscrupulous man and saw an opportunity to plunder and destroy the Soomra kingdom. He sent out his men to go to Soomra Capital Muhammad Tur (Toor) and assure Chanesar of his support in getting back the throne from Dodo. King kamaluddin Chanesar Soomro, though a great warrior, was simple and a gullible man. He threatened Dodo that he will go for help to king Allauddin’s armies to get the throne back from him. Accordingly, he came to Zaffar khan in Sehwan and was welcomed and promised full help.
General Zaffar khan then sent his emissaries to King Asad-al-Millat Dodo to send tributes of royal gifts and Princess Baghi as bride for Sultan Allauddin, else he will wage a war against him and will take everything by force. (4)
King Dodo called for his Council Ministers and all Sardars (lords) for consultation. It was decided unanimously that no Soomro Princess should go to Sultan Allauddin who was a Turk by caste. They started to prepare for war against the Sultan’s hordes.
Consequently, Zaffar Khan, with Chanesar by his side, marched towards the Soomra Capital of Tur. Both the armies arrived at a place ‘ Thaar Banghar ‘ at a good distance from the Capital city of Tur. A decisive battle was fought in which thousands of Zaffar Khan’s soldiers were killed and on the other side the Valliant King Asad-al-Millat Dodo was martyred along with Prince Muhammed and Nangar sons of Chanesar, with their armies. (5)
General Zaffar Khan then proceeded to the capital Muhammad Tur to plunder, kill and to capture the royal Soomro ladies with Princess Baghi. Chanesar was displeased and admonished Zaffar Khan not proceed to the royal harems as they now belonged to him, as with the martyrdom of Dodo, he was the king of Sindh. Zaffar khan put him under surveillance and proceeded to the Palace. He found the Palace deserted and was enraged. In frustration, he ordered to sack the City. He sent out his spies to find out as to where the harems had gone. In a few days, his spies came, they told him that they taken refuge in Kutch under the protection Chieftain Abro Samo.
Zaffar Khan sent his envoy to Abro Samo to surrender the “Saams” (Royal Soomra ladies of the House of Tur) else he will destroy him. Abro Samo was a great warrior and was sure of the help of neighbouring Chiefs, so he replied to Zaffar Khan that he would rather die in battle than surrender the “Saams” to him. Zaffar khan therefore ordered his remaining armies to prepare for war with Abro Samo. (6)
When chanesar found that Zaffar khan was to chase the royal harems to Kutch, he managed to confront Zaffar khan with his companions and they killed hundreds of soldiers of his army but ultimately they were martyred.
Here it will be appropriate to say that the armies of Zaffar khan had dwindled as thousands of his soldiers had lost their lives in the battles of Bakhar, Sehwan and Soomras also had killed thousands of his soldiers. Even so, he prepared for war with Abro Samo and proceeded to Kutch. Here also, a great battle was fought and Abro Samo, his son Mamut and his armies were martyred.
The “Saams” had already left for nearby mountain refuge where finding no other go, they prayed to God Almighty to save their honour. Suddenly with great thunder, tremors took place and the mountains were split at many places and the ladies jumped into these chasms and with a second thunder the chasms closed upon them. Some corners of their scarves were left out. When Zaffar Khan saw all this, he was awed and disappointed. (7)
Now with very little army, he decided to return to Mirpur Mathelo and to Dehli through the desert route.
These battles had resulted in public uprising and the patriotic people of Sindh of every caste armed themselves with whatever arms they had at hand and followed Zaffar Khan and his men, awakening the villagers on either side of this route to fight(8). Gradually food and water became scarce and his soldiers kept dying of hunger and thirst. The people massacred many soldiers by gorilla war tactics. The result was a miserable defeat and Zaffar Khan suffered an ignominious death in the desert of Sindh.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND.
In the year 1296-97, Sultan Allauddin Khilji of the Sultanate of Dehli, commissioned his General Zaffar Khan to crush the rebellion in Sindh. General Zaffar khan came to Sindh with a huge Imperial army and crushed the rebellion in Bakhar and Sehwan. (3)In Sehwan, he came to know that there was a rift between the Soomra brothers, Dodo and Chanesar , that Chanesar was dethroned and Dodo had become the king of Sindh. General Zaffar Khan was an unscrupulous man and saw an opportunity to plunder and destroy the Soomra kingdom. He sent out his men to go to Soomra Capital Muhammad Tur (Toor) and assure Chanesar of his support in getting back the throne from Dodo. King kamaluddin Chanesar Soomro, though a great warrior, was simple and a gullible man. He threatened Dodo that he will go for help to king Allauddin’s armies to get the throne back from him.

Sindhis after the partition of India
Sindhis after the partition of India
After getting independence from the British rule nation divided into two countries namely Bharat [India] and Pakistan, as this division was rooted with the concentration of religious population, hence several lakh of Hindu population, living since centuries and many generation on the land, become part of Pakistan, was forced to migrate India because this was clear even before the partition that new country is going to be land of Islamic dominance. This partition proved very crucial, painful and suffering for the Hindus especially those were living in Sindh and Punjab area.
As for as the Sindhis are concerned this partition has worked as deadly killer factor for the rich cultural and social heritage of the community and Sindhi language, as in these changes scenario, being a part of large geographical region and in the status of migrant Sindhis were forced to get a dispersed status in India.
Migrant Sindhis were pursing hard for getting back to economic roots and also factor of low concentration of population was proving and working as gradual venomous for the Sindhi customs, traditions, culture, celebrations and language, as a natural result, today, after the 60 years of independence, a considerable chunk of young sindhi population is not able to speak and or write sindhi language, As at the time of partitions, though majority of sindhi population migrated to India but a few families had opted other countries also. Modern young Sindhi population can't be blamed for not knowing the Sindhi language because this is not their fault as they are born and brought up in the linguistic atmosphere other than Sindhi.
Sindhis are among the strongest business minded communities of human world and have a very high success ratio. Hard working nature, proper and timely use of available knowledge and resources along with presence of mind are helping Sindhis in maintaining their world leadership status in global business world. To express business mind of Sindhis, I am quoting an imaginary incident. Once in India, one Sindhi and Chinese were traveling in same rail comportment. All of sudden train passed through a mosquito rich area, many mosquitoes entered into compartment, Chinese person killed a mosquito flying around his head and have eaten it. In next few seconds another mosquito started flying around the Sindhi head; fellow Chinese become curious for the reaction of Sindhi. Nothing happen abnormal Sindhi also succeeded in killing the mosquito like the Chinese. Placed the killed mosquito on hand palm, and to surprise of Chinese, forwarded palm to him with the words "Hello Sir would you like to buy this".

Sindhi Surnames or Family Names
Sindhi Surnames or Family Names
If we consider contribution of Sindhis for the human world population surely this will not be more than 1% of entire but this is also fact that it is almost next to impossible to locate a geographical region or nation without Sindhi population this is a distinct indication for most dispersed status of Sindhi community.
Besides being the front runner for the business wisdom, talent and hard working nature Sindhis have yet another significant thing related with their surname or family names, as almost all of them ends with “ani”. This “ani” is in fact an ancient tradition of showing respect to elders as “ani” means belongs to and Sindhi surnames / family names are generated from suffixing “ani” to name of few generations ago elder family head, for instant my surname “Manghirmalani “ is originated by adding “ani” to Manghirmal.
