Re: Heritage, Soc: Is sindhi likely to disappear by 2050?
Dear Ajeet,
This prediction of the disappearance of the Sindhi Language is quite
possible. I have experienced this massive loophole in
culture/language transfer as I part of the generation that is lacking
this treasure. It is quite hurtful to me to constantly and repeatedly
hear suggestions from my future wife's relatives/family friends, to
learn gujarati. How can I turn my back away from my roots and be more
ignorant than how I have already been raised. I do not blame my
grandfather, who made it mandatory to speak english in the household,
nor do I blame my parents who followed this instruction, though it is
now my responsability to reverse this loss of cultural identity, and
educate the next generation so they do not loose their roots to one as
strong as the gujarati culture. Long live Sindh, in our hearts and
minds forever.
Note: Please suggest to me some learning resources so I can begin my
quest for re-identity.
