Mahadev Ka Sagra


Bangalore Ladies Chapter organized Mahadev-jo-Sagro on 26th December, 2011 at Sindhi High School. The President of National Ladies Chapter and BLC Mrs. Shoba R. Kalro had proposed to the ladies chapters and Sindhi friends of various cities to organize the Sagra pooja on the same day and time as a mark of unity. Many cities thus joined in to make it a national event – Chennai, Mysore, Coimbatore, Hyderabad, Raipur, Bhopal, Madurai, Vijayawada, Salem, Ahmedabad, Erode , Nagpur, Hubli, Mumbai and even beyond the boundary of our country, in Dubai. Most of them were connected via Skype to facilitate live viewing of the pooja everywhere.
In Bangalore, soon after the pooja, a Bharat Natyam exponent and character actor Devi Parameshwar performed the famous Taandav dance of Lord Shiva. BLC then put up a skit to portray the importance of this pooja. A quiz was also conducted on the various names of Shiva. This auspicious occasion was attended by a record number of about 1,000 people. Other centers too registered the number of attendees.

3-Day meet rekindles spirit of Sindhiyat


Sindhi Council Of India - Bangalore Ladies Chapter
18th International Sindhi Samelan was held at Ahmedabad on 16th,17th & 18th Dec 2011
Commenting on the current status of Sindhis across the globe dignitaries said, "Sindhis are losing their cultural identity and younger generation knows little about their roots, customs or cuisine. This meet seeks to rekindle younger generations interest into their origins. This is an effort to revive linguistic and cultural bonds. The motto is to rise above geographical distances and unite into one cultural identity."

Language Barrier

Language can break barriers or create one. Both these instances were seen at the 18th Sindhi Samelan held in Ahmedabad. A participant told your diarist hoe senior BJP Leader L K Advani took the concept of 'Sindhiyat' a bit too far when he addressed the gathering only in sindhi. "Youngsters who did not know the language began squirming after a while. If Advaniji wanted to send across a message, what use was it if his words could not be understood by the young generation?" the participant asked. Another youngster said, "We kept asking our elders for a translation every few minutes. After a while, we gave up. Advaniji is good at English and Hindi. He could have given a part of the speech in other languages so that we could grasp it."
