My latest Book 'Sindh and the census 2011'

[Zulfiqar Halepoto]

Book on Sindh and the census 2011 Sindh is an important and integral federating unit of Pakistan. Historically, Sindh has supported democratisation of society, rule of law and constitutionalism. Sindh has demonstrates peaceful and combined struggle for the rights of its people and respect the rights of other nations, ethnic minorities, sectarian and religious groups and vulnerable communities. People of Sindh always followed the internationally recognized and accepted peaceful approach of struggle and protest. The latest peaceful social movement on the issue of Census is another milestone. From political parties to concerned citizens and from intellectuals and thinkers to media houses, the case of Sindh was fought in a peaceful and scientific manner. The only demand was to deal Sindh with fair play and listen to the concerns and constitutional and moral concerns of Sindh. In this regard a galaxy of political leaders, analysts, thinkers, intellectuals, columnists and reporters have written wonderful articles, essays, political analysis, investigative reports, testimonies and stories on the technical, political and constitutional concerns of Sindh on the issue of CENSUS 2011. These writings are an asset, a road map for head count exercise and now have become part of documented history. In this regard, I have compiled and edited a book in Sindhi ‘Ghar/Aadamshumaree 2011 Aeen Sindh Jo Muqadmo’ (Census 2011: The Case of Sindh) based on articles and editorials of Sindhi press. This is based on the articles published in Daily Kawish, Daily Koshish, Daily Ibrat, Daily Awami Awaz, Daily Sobh, and Fortnightly AFFAIR magazine. Book is published by Pakistan’s leading publishing house, FICTION, Lahore. It is a 400 pages book and will be available on all main stalls and book depot of Pakistan after May 25th, 2011.
