PAMPHLETS PROSCRIBED BY

THE GOVERNMENT OF SIND 1939

[Whenever I find time and go through Notes taken by my father, Dr. Dur Muhammad Pathan, I am surprised to see the variety of subjects and quantity of the material. During British Period, so many books, pamphlets and other literature was proscribed by then Government. Dr. Dur Muhammad Pathan has collected information from Newspapers, Government Notifications and other various sources. It is very unique collection available in Gul Hayat Institute.I am sharing sample of that collection so as to invite their attention towards very important topic never touched by Researchers, Historians and Scholars except by my father. This is a sample but, collected material is much in quantity. ]
