The Calcutta Review An Illustrated Monthly (Third Series) July 1922

1922

Exerting its influence throughout six centuries the transfer of the strategic defence of Sind from its centre to the north is one of the main factors in the creation of that selconscious separation in thought of Upper and Lower Sind that finds expression to-day in the popular jest that a buffalo of the north is superior to a man of the south. [...] It explains the curious independence of Debar until the last ; the rise of the Sumrahs and after them of the Sammahs in the delta and the comparative immunity of Tatha in its prime from aggression. [...] In the days before the Ghaznis the dangers of the door that near the sea over the low passes lay open to the invader produced a unity within the valley which disappeared when it fell to one half to be its defender and to the other to-forget in compartive peace the lessons of the past. [...] Ex parvo multum : from the redirection of the current of invasion follow in sequence the rocord of petty strife ; the many failures to achieve unity that render the reading of Sind history unattractive ; follows too the existing cleavage between the north and south of Sind ; follows in fact the supreme influence for good and evil of the unique position of Bakhar. [...] Apart too from the still existing features of the western branch of the river adjoining the island of Bakhar it is easy I Bakhar is not mentioned in the Ohachnama the early chronicles of the Arab conquest nor is it allude% to in the time of the Ghaznivide Sultans.
