About the Book: Sindh Bani is a powerful and nostalgic anthology that captures the rich cultural heritage of Sindh before Partition separated it from India. Through vivid childhood stories, author Sarla Kripalani brings to life the people, traditions, and emotional landscapes of pre-Partition Sindh, including forgotten figures like Dewan Dialmal Doulatram and tales like the nautch girl’s fragrant banknotes. The book’s second section, Aaya Pir, Bhagga Mir and Other Sindhi Proverbs, is a vibrant collection of traditional Sindhi proverbs in Sindhi, Hindi, and English—preserving the wit, wisdom, and cultural roots of the Sindhi community for future generations. The final section features Sarla’s translation of T.K. Mirchandani’s revealing work on the Sindhworki apprenticeship system, exposing both its global economic influence and the hidden personal sacrifices of young traders. Blending history, oral tradition, and cultural commentary, Sindh Bani is an essential read for anyone interested in Sindhi heritage, Partition history, and South Asian identity.
