MAGAZINE GUL PHUL
Abstract:
One of the objectives of the establishment of Sindhi Adabi Board
in 1951 was to strive for the healthy and constructive literature for the
children of Sindh. In order to materialize this aim, a monthly magazine,
entitled, “Gul Phul” for children was issued since January 1959. The
very purpose of “Gul Phul” was to introduce Sindhi children with
modern world and literature. For this, Mr. Muhammad Ibrahim Joyo and
Mr. Ghulam Rabbani Agro, burnt the midnight oil and decorated this
monthly with colorful writings of both senior and junior generation of
writers and, thus, mode “Gul Phul” received a serve setback, when its
declaration was cancelled in 1966, hence its publication was suspended
till January 1974. Afterwards, “Gul Phul” acquired declaration and
started its publication since January 1974 with Mr. Shoukat Hussain
Shoro as its editor. Mr. Shoro ensured regular publication of “Gul Phul”
and made it a popular magazine of Sindhi children. After him, Mr.
Anwar Halai, Mr. Akbar Jiskani, Mr. Tarique Alam Abro, Mr. Din
Muhammad Kalhoro, Dr. Zafar Abbasi and Mrs. Najma Panhwar have
been the editors of “Gul Phul” and put best of their intellectual energies
to provide modern thoughts and literature to the children of Sindh. Gul
Phul received a great co-operation of writers, poets and intellectuals of
high stature. That’s why, its every issue is worth – reading as it provides
a variety of writings. It is a role model for all the magazines of children
published from various parts of Sindh
