Post by my son Mumtaz

Sindh Workis of Japan return to Sindh
Second World War badly affected the business, trade & commerce of Sindh workis settled in Japan. My Father Dr. Dur Muhammad Pathan has collected handsome material & information on the subject and it is available in Gul Hayat Institute. From that collection, I am sharing here with list of Names of Sindh Workis of Japan, those decided to return Sindh in 1942. This is List of passengers those sailed by S.S “ANHUI”. This list has been prepared business site-wise. It is amazing to note that Sindh Workis of Japan were not only Hindus but, some of them were Sindhi Muslims & christens also.
