CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Under the joint aegis of the National Sindhi Language Development Council and the Sindhi Mela Committee, the “Sindhu Pravah: Nai Disha – Nai Disha” programme was organized for the first time in the capital city Bhopal at Samanvay Bhavan. The programme began with the lighting of the ceremonial lamp before the images of Lord Jhulelal and Sant Hirdaram Sahib Ji.

On this occasion, MLA Bhagwandas Sabnani was present as the Chief Guest. Addressing the gathering at the Sindhu Pravah programme, he said that our society, which symbolizes diversity and rich culture, is still afflicted by many deeply rooted social evils. These malpractices not only hinder social progress but also negatively impact individual and family life. He emphasized that collective concern is needed for the middle-class Sindhi community. He pointed out that in India, even communities with small populations have their own states, but despite being a large community, Sindhis do not have a state of their own. While other states strongly protect their culture, today many Sindhi families do not even speak Sindhi with their children at home. He stressed that there is an urgent need for collective efforts to keep the Sindhi language alive.

The key speaker, Kishore Ajwani, addressing the youth, said that Mohenjo-daro is a major site of the Indus Valley Civilization, which is thousands of years old and reveals important aspects of Indian history. He highlighted that the roads, lanes, and houses were excellently planned, which is still evident today. Ajwani shared his serious and insightful views on the Indus Valley Civilization.

On this occasion, the annual calendar of the Sindhi Mela Committee was also released by the chief guests. As part of the programme, a captivating presentation of “Journey of Sindhis,” written by Khiman Mulani, was performed by Mohit Shewani and his team, which was highly appreciated by the audience.

Prominently present at the event were Manish Devnani from the National Sindhi Language Development Council, Manish Daryani, President of the Sindhi Mela Committee, Jai Kishan Lalchandani, Naresh Talreja, Kamal Panjwani, Bhagwan Dev Israni, Kishore Tanwani, Nirmal Gangwani, along with a large number of dignitaries and youth.
