The Union Government honoured the Sindhi community with a historical gift on the occasion of Chaitichand Mahotsav.
Recently, the Union communication minister Kapil Sibal, at a grand function held in Delhi under the aegis of Rashtriya Sindhi Bhasha Vikas Parishad, had released a postal stamp in commemoration of Saint Jhulelal Sahib.
Ramesh Warlyani, vice chairman of the Parishad, chaired the function held at the Govind Singh hall in Pithampura. Addressing the large congregation of the community, Sibal said, “If we forget the philosophy of Saint Sai Jhulelal, then we will also forget the sacred threads of the cultural harmony.” He said wherever Sindhi Community exists they do so with full harmony with others.
Ex MlA Ramesh Varliyani said that after the partition of the country, the Sindhi community remained busy collecting and composing itself. In the meantime, the Sindhi language and culture left trailing behind all these years. During the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s regime, she honoured the community by granting graceful berth to the Sindhi language in our Constitution. Minister Kapil Sibal has established a Sindhi centre in IGNOU on October 24, 2011, he added.
He said, “Now again we are honoured by him by releasing a postal stamp in commemoration of Sai Jhulelal Sahib. Prominent members of the community Nand lal Jotwani, Ram Jawahrani, Shobhalal Chandani, Dr Ganga Das Udasi, Ghanshyam Gehani, Ravi Tekchandani, Amar Daulatani, Ashok Anshwani were also present on the occasion.
