Description
There is much in these stories that our modern mindsets will find hard to accept. But having struggled with this myself, I believe that these folktales are timeless for a reason; they hold a mirror to the one thing that has not changed over the centuries - human nature. These are stories of love and lust, greed and humility, patriotism and deceit, weakness and strength of character - everything that defines our lives as individuals and as communities. That's why I believe they continue to be relevant.
They are also an integral part of the rich legacy of Sindhi culture that we began to lose when the Partition of the Indian sub-continent took place. Few Sindhis of my generation in India have grown up listening to these stories. For that reason alone, I believe they deserve to be resurrected
