“History of Sindhi Language and Literature at a Glance” presents important sequence of   linguistic and literary endeavours spread aver a period of a millennium from the 10^th Century to the 20^th Century AD. The author has tried to be objectively selective for the sake of writing a brief and concise version of the history of the two subjects.

Written with an explicit intent of introducing Sindhi Language and Literature to the non-Sindhi speaking readers at home and abroad, the present book fulfils the important need of the present times.

Dr. Ghulam Ali Allana’s contribution in the fields of Sindhi Language, Linguistics and Literature spans over the last sixty years. In this book he has painstakingly documented and archived the wealth of Sindhi writings in the shape of a book for quick reference.

It is our sincere hope that our effort to present a bird’s eye view of the history of Sindhi Language and Literature, will be appreciated by common readers, researchers and scholars alike.
