A Historic Document Declaring Sindhi as the Official Language of Sindh (29 August 1857)

***

Scanned copy of notification by British Government that Sindhi will be the state language in Sindh. It reads:’If some body thinks necessary to write any petition to the government in Persian than Sindhi Translation of the same content will be necessary along with original petition in persian. The notification was issued on August 2957 by the then Commissioner of Sindh Sir Boll Frere in Thatta.’ ,29th August, 18 57.

The copy of this notification is provided by Yousuf Sindhi, Secretary General, Sindhi Adabi Sangat and sending all of you for your knowledge.

The objective of sending this to all of you is to emphasis the need to remind and keep reminding to the government for taking notice and stop marginalization of Sindhi and other national languages since independence.

Sindhi remained state language since 1857 and still in Sindh but government specially non elected and dictatorial governments have consciously marginalized Sindhi In Sindh.
