Oxford University Press (OUP) will launch its latest publication 'Footprints in Time: Reminiscences of a Sindhi Matriarch' by Ghulam Fatima Shaikh. Translated from Sindhi by Rasheeda Husain, these narratives span two continents and two centuries and relate some of the most momentous events of history of the sub-continent as witnessed by Ghulam Fatima Shaikh.
These memoirs also provide a first-hand account of what conversion from Hinduism to Islam meant in practice and its impact on the Sindhi society. Speakers at the launch will include Dr Ishrat Husain, Kishwar Naheed, Nafisa Shah, Mehtab Akbar Rashdi, Rasheeda Husain, and Ameena Saiyid. Dr Aziz-ur-Rehman Bughio will be the guest of honour at the function being held here on December 22.-PR
