AN IMPORTANT LETTER

[ IT IS ALSO PUBLISHED ON OUR WEBSITE www.drpathan]



A LETTER FROM " INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE OF SOCIAL HISTORY", AMSTERDAM:
Dr. Dur Muhammad Pathan,
Gul Hayat Institute,
Village Khair Muhammad Arija, District Larkano, Sindh.
Dear Dr.Pathan, Having reported on my visit to the Gul Hayat Institute, I can confirm that the International Institute of Social History (IISH) has been impressed by the considerable efforts made by the Gul Hayat Institute (GHI) over the past eight years in preserving valuable historical material on Sindh society.
IISH realises that you and your family have sacrified much for the realisation of this archive in the village Khair Muhammad Arija.
IISH considers it important that such work should be facilitated in future. In this spirit, we would like to suggest that GHI and IISH be affiliated to each other.The purpose of this affiliation is to help ensure that material on the history of Sindh and other parts of Pakistan be conserved for future generations.IISH is looking forward to cooperation with GHI in exchange of information and in other ways that may be of mutual benefit.
we trust that this affiliation will lead to strengthening of the GHI as well as to more scholarly interest in the history of Sindh at the IISH.To this end, we invite you, Dr.Pathan, in your personal capacity as well as in that Director of the GHI, to initiate this new co-operation between our Institutes in Sindh.
Your Sincerely,
Prof. Willem van Schendel
Asia department
International Institute for Social History
