HISTORY OF SINDHI LITERATURE

By (author)L. H. AJWANI

Sindhi, like Punjabi, Urdu and Bengali, is one of the languages of the sub-continent which goes back to the earliest recorded evidence of civilisation.

According to Grierson, it can be bracketed with Lahnda as one of the two languages of the north-west group of Sanskrit languages. John Beames characterized it as ‘infinitely more natural and captivating than anything which the hide-bound Pandit-ridden languages of the eastern part of India can show.’

The present history traces the development of Sindhi literature from its remote beginnings to 1947.
