Glimpses of Sindhiyat - Rituals and Way Of Life

Dear All,

Jai Jhoolelal

The Grand book release function of ‘Glimpses of Sindhiyat’ was held on June 23rd 2012 in Bangalore at the Atria Hotel.
 
The invocation included a Sindhi song, the National Anthem and the lighting of the lamp.

 
The Chief Guest, His Excellency, Governor of Karnataka, Sri H.R. Bhardwaj, released the book with great fanfare.
He regaled the crowd with wonderful anecdotes associated with Sindhis. He said Sindhis had proved to be global leaders in a multitude of fields and praised our community as a whole for the respect we show our elders.


A memorable day for the Bangalore Ladies Chapter as we gave the world and our community another reason to be proud of our achievements! Glimpses of Sindhiyat – Rituals and Way of Life, a coffee table book documenting the traditions and rituals of Shikarpuri Sindhis was released after 18 months of hard work.
The Guest of Honour, Mr. Suresh Keswani, who is the founder President of the Sindhi Council of India (SCI), spoke very highly of our efforts to promote Sindhi culture.

  Mr. Biharilal Menda, President, SCI, our mentor and guide also spoke highly about BLC and how much we have accomplished in the two years since our inception. He made special mention of Henna Kalro, who was instrumental in conceptualizing this book and seeing it to fruition.
