Ep 7 – Their dedication to education

People think of Sindhis as committed to business and money. This episode is about how important education was in Sindh, the thrust for women’s education and the yearning for a life of the mind. People strived for education for their children, knowing that it paved the way for a better life. After Partition, Sindhis set up schools and colleges in the places where they settled so that the education of their own children would not be interrupted and their teachers and educationists would continue in their professions.
