TRY
IN SOOMRA ERA
Abstract
Soomra rule in the history of Sindh is known to be initial and
basic significance. After decline of Arabs, Soomras were the first local
rulers of Sindh. This was the period of initial development of Sindhi
language, for which historical evidences are found widely. According the
authorities on history and linguistics, development of Sindhi language
trends therein started during Arab era, but all the same it is also a
historical fact that general development of Sindhi language started during
Soomra period.
During Soomra period, Sindhi language received government
patronage, resulting in extension of its geographical and linguistic
borders. That extension provided Sindhi language with permanent
immortality. In Sindh literary trends and terms though existed before
Soomras, for which we have historical evidences, but the real beginning
and development of Sindhi literature became possible only during the
Soomra Period.
This was the initial period when romantic tales and epics became
subjects of the Sindhi poetry, which passing through various phases of
classical poets still exist in Sindhi poetry. Besides that religious poetry
also got foundations during this period and signs of propagation of
Sufism through poetry could still be traced during this period.
Though Soomra period is a bygone age of seven centuries back,
but the literary subjects belonging to that period still hold good in Sindhi
language, which prove that Soomra period has the fundamental
significance for Sindhi language and literature. This research paper is
written to limelight the significance and development of Sindhi language during Soomra era.
