On Friday, the 22nd of May, Asha invited me to give a tv interview on what we can do for the Sindhi language and what inspired me to start my blog and website. On the same day, there was also a supplement of Sindhu along with the Times of India Mumbai...
I replied to the Editor, R.Sridhar:


We sindhis have always been accused of being over-obsessed with money...I always say that we had to leave our birth place, Sindh during Pakistan. We had no land to call our own...but we did not waste our time whining, we went on to re-structure our life and today 60 years hence, we have not only 'made it' but give back to society. But one sad thing happened, because we had to adapt to the country that gave us a mean to live, we lost out on our own culture and language...today we are trying to revive it...and there are many who are trying so hard to do it...

At the tv interview I said:
We probably made a mistake by not speaking in Sindhi with our offspring in our enthusiasm to adapt to the places who accepted us with open arms...We can make ammends by speaking with our grand children in Sindhi...that is one of the ways to salvage Sindhi...
