Welcome to the Sindh Abhyas Academy at SZABIST! The Sindh Abhyas Academy is a regional studies institute that focuses on Sindh and the Indus Valley Civilization. Founded on March 1st 2012, the twin broad goals of the Academy are as follows:
To encourage research on Sindh within traditionally investigated disciplines, as exemplified by Sindh’s literature and culture, as well as within new knowledge domains, as exemplified by studies on Sindh’s economy, sociology, health, and education systems. The dissemination of this research, with the aim of furthering knowledge and understanding about Sindh, Sindhis, and Sindhiyath, Globally, is an integral part of the academy’s first goal.
To provide our Sindh Studies students with a thorough understanding of Sindh and the Sindhi experience in Pakistan as well as in the Sindhi Diaspora. SAA will ground its pedagogy and research in social justice values that seek the amelioration of systemic inequalities found within Sindh. The faculty and staff at SAA will nurture academic relationships with the multiple communities residing in Sindh. SAA further seeks to be a cultural and socio-political safe haven where all students interested in Sindh Studies can meet and explore educational opportunities so as to advance their academic goals as well as their communities’ wellbeing.
The twin broad goals will be supported by courses, seminars, conferences, study groups, a student society, field trips, and publications. In addition SAA will undertake to evolve a socio-pragmatic methodology for Sindhi language competence in adult learners.
We have a vast collection of manuscripts, DVD’s of folk music, sufi songs, research journals, and around 3000 books/ magazines on following subjects of Sindh:
