Sindhi Folk Tales

Sindhi Folk Tales form vital patterns on the fabric of Sindhi Culture. They are embedded in the Sindhi psyche and form a vital part of the value structure of the masses. The classical Sindhi poetry cannot be understood without the knowledge of these folk tales as it is replete with frequent allusions to them. When I found the book of Mr. Pritam Varyani, which told the stories in a short and lucid form without losing the charm of the original, I was tempted to translate the same. I am hopeful that this book of translation into English will be of use to those who due to Sindhi Diaspora across the globe have not been able to learn their language and are trying to find their roots. After all we owe them the responsibility of building the bridge where we would be able to reclaim them.
