We have always been noticing little tolerance on behalf of Pakistan People's Party as well as Sindhi nationalists , whenever there's any talk about creating any new province out of Sindh. The gap between Urban and Rural population masses has widened for last 5 decades. Now many residents of Karachi and Hyderabad and other urban areas, irrespective of their political affiliations, openly demand for a new province or administrative division. Also, we hear about "5000 year old civilization" of "Sindh Dharti Ma" , a claim that becomes disputed after close inspections.
Based on historical maps, we see an area named Thatta but no mention of Sindh province (or any sort of administrative unit by such a name).
After closely studying, it sounds like for centuries the areas of present day Sindh have/had been plagued with feudal culture.....plus, racist mindset and lack of respect/value for human rights. Looking at history of African slaves who were sold in Indo-Pak subcontinent , one can easily see the pattern and pace of psychological development in areas of Sindh province.
Those who are interested in Mughal history would know that Jalaluddin Mohammed Akbar would leave strong impressions in history of the subcontinent. Throughout his life he would fight with various forces and kingdoms in order to secure and expand Mughal Empire.
One such lady was Chand Bibi who was widely known as Tigress of Deccan. Due to her planning and tactics Mughal army could never enter the areas of Deccan, and she had a close aide too whose name was Malik Amber. Malik Amber was not an Indian by birth but was brought as an African slave in Ahmednagar. However, afterwards he would rise to fame, power and glory in Deccan region. And due to him and Chand Bibi Mughal forces would witness a massive road block while penetrating South. Otherwise, Mughal flag might have been hoisted in Cochin and even Ceylon (present day Sri Lanka) during reigns of Akbar or Jehangir.
Further details about Amber's life can be found in the following videos as well
So now we know how Amber would get acceptance, recognition and respect in Deccan.
Now let's come to our Sindh Dharti, and how African slaves were treated. There resides Sheedi community, and they are descendants of those African slaves who were brought in Sindh province.
Currently, a lady from the same community named Tanzeela Qambrani is an MPA in Sindh assembly and she reached there on PPP ticket. In the following video she speaks about background of herself as well as her community.
If you watch it from 1:00 to 4:40 then two things come to light
1) It's wrong to blame and curse only White people when it comes to slave trade as various Africans were also involved into it. There were fights among African tribes where the winner would put forward survivors from the losing side to get sold overseas.
2) After slave trade was abolished in United Kingdom in 17th century, then rather than getting freed now the African slaves were being sold in Sindh. Plus they would continue to get mistreated by local landlords. Their self-respect and dignity weren't given due consideration.
Now you may see how Malik Amber would receive respect and gain power in Deccan, concepts of human rights and individual freedom were gaining ground in UK, but areas of Sindh province were still stuck with medieval (feudal) customs. Doesn't it tell something about the slow pace at which rural Sindh would socially develop? Was it also due to Rawalpindi/GHQ or some Punjabi establishment and army ?
It's also surprising that Sheedi are presently a vote bank of PPP, the same party that relies on illiteracy and feudalism prevalent in (rural) Sindh
