Dr. Mumtaz Pathan wrote the History of Sindh for the Sindhi Adabi Board ‘History of Sindh’ series, however, due to unknown reasons, the Board did not accept and publish the book. After many years, this manuscript has been made available by the family to EFT and has been published posthumously. It is the first complete account of the Talpur period by a local scholar in English. For many years, the Government of Sindh and institutions under its management have been trying to present a compendium on the history of Sindh. Initial attempts by the Sindhi Adabi Board produced significant volumes but stopped at the Arab period. H. T. Sorely’s Gazetteer of Sindh and Shah Abdul Latif of Bhit throw some light on the history of Sindh, as do memoirs and reports by British and other writers, but barring a few, none in detail and depth. Local sources are available but they lack authenticity and credibility. EFT therefore decided to initiate a History of Sindh publication series with emphasis on reprinting important out-of-print books, unpublished manuscripts and also commission new research. The first reprint was the History of Arghuns and Tarkhans and its original source the Tarikh-i-Masumi. Edited painstakingly by eminent scholar Dr. Sahib Khan Channa, this is the second publication in the series.
