Abstract

Dr. N. A. Baloch is indubitably an outstanding polymath and multidimensional scholar of international standing and repute and to venture analysis and review of his works is indeed a herculean task, at least for this scribe. Pakistan Study Centre has performed a commendable feat by publishing with rare academic dedication and persistent devotion most of Dr.Baloch’s invaluable researched works under their publication scheme. The Centre commenced publication of Dr.Baloch work’s with “History of Sindhi Language and Literature” (in Sindhi) in 1990 followed by his three well known works in English. These are: “Education based on Islamic Values-Imperatives and Implications” (2000), “Sindh Studies-Historical” (2003) and “Sindh Studies-Cultural” (2004). The present volume under review was edited by Dr.Baloch himself in 2009 at the request of Pakistan Study Centre and comprises his now memorable historical essays and articles which were hitherto scattered in various research journals in Pakistan and overseas.
