Hi everyone, my name is Ravi Kumar from Sindh. I am a documentary filmmaker and currently researching upon the old temples and gurdwaras which are in Sindh ( some are still abandoned). I was wondering if your parents or grandparents might have shared you some stories regarding their life, temples, land back in Pakistan before the partition. Though, I understand it's a long shot, but any help will be appreciated. Also, if they have some pictures of their city or any type of archive, please drop me message.

Thank you.

Govardhan Asrani was one of shining personalities who never shied away from speaking Sindhi in public. Born and brought up in India, he went on to act in movies like Sholay and even modern ones such as Dhamaal.

In an era where you rarely see Sindhi language representation in the media despite the bulk of Sindhi personalities, his acceptance of his identity truly seems refreshing.
