Under the joint aegis of the National Sindhi Language Development Council and Sindhi Education Development Committee, Ajmer, a special cultural and theatrical program Journey of Sindhis was organized on Wednesday at the Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar Auditorium of Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, on the eve of Partition Horrors Remembrance Day.
General Secretary of Sindhi Education Development Committee, Shri Ghanshyam Bhagat, informed that the National Sindhi Language Development Council, New Delhi, with the cooperation of the Ministry of Education, Government of India, organized a seminar on the eve of Partition Horrors Remembrance Day.
The chief guest of the program was Rajasthan Legislative Assembly Speaker Shri Vasudev Devnani, and the special guest was International President of the World Sindhi Seva Organization, Raju Vijay Manwani. Members of the National Sindhi Language Development Council, Manish Devnani, and former principal of Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan College, Haso Dadlani, also expressed their views.
In his address, Assembly Speaker Shri Vasudev Devnani said that struggle has been a tradition for the Sindhi community. Achieving success through such struggle is a part of every Sindhi’s life. The community has the ability to face challenges and establish themselves. The Sindhi community endured the most pain during Partition, and remembering it still brings tears to the eyes of those who lived through that time. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has also felt this pain, and as a result, Partition Horrors Remembrance Day is observed so that the new generation can understand the suffering of Partition and be infused with a spirit of patriotism.
Shri Devnani further said that the Sindhi community has always been hardworking and industrious, dedicating their efforts to the service of the nation. Their love for the country inspired Hemu Kalani to sacrifice everything. Even today, the Sindhi community remains ready to give the highest level of dedication for the nation.
He also mentioned that over time, Ajmer has undergone significant changes. Colonial names have been replaced with Indian ones: Foy Sagar has been renamed Varun Sagar, King Edward Memorial is now known as Maharshi Dayanand Saraswati Rest House, and Hotel Khadim is now Hotel Ajaymeru.
During the cultural evening, renowned artists Mohit Shewani and his team from Devansh Entertainment presented a theatrical performance based on the Partition Horrors. The presentation depicted, with deep emotion, the hardships faced by the Sindhi community during the 1947 Partition, the pain of displacement, the saga of struggle, and the community’s invaluable contribution to nation-building and development in independent India.
Students from Swami Sarvanand School and Hari Sundar Girls’ School performed patriotic dances. Folk singer Ghanshyam Bhagat presented folk songs.
