The Shah Abdul Latif Cultural Organisation arranged a look back at the new breed of writers in Sindhi literature. Noted Sindhi scholar Mahtab Akbar Rashid presided over the literary discussion, and said that mysticism permeated the contents of Sindhi, mainly because Sufis and saints had influenced the behaviour and habits of the local people over many centuries.
Nevertheless, Sindhi writings have not failed to agitate relevant issues of contemporary times. We may give here the example of Ghulam Nabi's short story Sheeshay Ka Ghar that reveals the wrongdoings of all kinds of loafers and bad characters like pickpockets, and the people suffering from hunger.
This confirms the view that Sindhi short stories were extension of modern progressive writers' movement initiated among others by writers such as Suboh Giyan Chandani.
However, the range of short stories were extended with more acute observations of life as revealed in Shaikh Ayaz' stories such as Musafir Makrani, Chhar Acker Zamini in which he is found partial to a particular section of community which might also be a sectarian view of the world. The 1971 events brought a major critical factor in literature to protest against the integration in one West Pakistan province.
