Abstract
Dr. N. A. Baloch, a versatile writer of Pakistan contributed several books and research articles on history, culture and
literature. Dr. Baloch mainly wrote in Sindhi language but he
also contributed in English.
So far as music is concerned Dr. Baloch wrote some
books both in Sindhi and English. His books in English are
prominent on Musical instruments of Lower Sindh, and development of Sindhi music. His book which can be considered as Bible
of Sindhi music is “Brief History of Sindhi music.” The present
paper describes this book in details. Not only scholarly contribution of Dr. Baloch is the main theme of this article, but also
points on his efforts for the help to artists, whom he introduced to
media have been highlighted. Dr. Baloch visited small villages
for collection of folk lore material and brought the vocalists and
instrumentalists to radio and stage etc.
Present paper throws light on both aspects of his contribution i.e. upliftment of artists and development of Sindhi music.
