We would like to Thank Yousuf Sindhi, Secretary Sindhi Adabi Sanghat, for making publication of Naseer Memon’s above mentioned book possible. These are timely efforts of Adabi Sanghat. This is probably Naseer’s third book in series written in context of Sindh, these books which are mainly based on his well researched articles published in Sindhi newspapers and magazines, the issues that Naseer has identified, discussed and presented for debate are the real questions of today’s Sindhi society, politics, and economic development.
Some of the issues discussed in this new book are: 1. How Sindh has been left in Politico-economic areas. 2. New Challenges that World offers: What Sindh needs to do. 3. Today’s Sindh needs fundamental changes not short term benefits. 4. Strategy that can address question of political leadership vacuum. 5. Indicators of human development and question of equal opportunities. 6. Engulfed with anger and pain Sindh looks to future. 7. Peoples Party Should become choice not compulsion of people. 8. What role can Middle class play through media. 9. Sindh’s Parties: Election and Future of Sindh. 10. Superstitution based attitude: where it will take to Sindh. 11. Sindh’s changing social structure. 12. Is there a space for parliamentary politics for Sindh based parties. 13. Dictatorship goes off: time for extraordinary decisions. 14. Is nature the cause torrential floods?

Naseer has started the debate; he writes on issues which people often think but do not speak up and open up their minds, he takes the lead.
True he is capable of writing on these issues because he is a clear-headed person, a man who one finds always in moving, in action, doing and thus making difference, making his presence felt.
In last few years, through his writings Naseer has shown courage to question status quo parties, their limitations and how seriously Sindh’s struggle for salvation is handicapped.
Though he is not associated with any political party/group, but Sindh and its people remain his focus and concern. Sindh remains his canvas in which he high lights its black holes, inefficiencies, myths and goes to thinks outside the box. Though think kind of discourse is not new in Sindh, but his analysis of the situation and past is different and so are his answers. He gives hope and a way forward, which to him is feasible.
Unlike some other writers, he does not write in stream of conscious, he deliberates and does research, once something is written, he is always open for questions.
Naseer is a new voice of Sindh but not in isolation, he is continuity of other political writers, he is not tragedy of Shakespeare but talks about social contract of Rousseau, Politics, economy and change, socio-economic change are his areas through which he explains socio-economic and politico-cultural landscape of Sindh.
we believe, his book is worth to read.
