An Introduction to Narain Kimatrai
By Shakun Narain

My husband Narain has been my strength. He has trusted and supported me in my spiritual interests, and has been instrumental in my keeping a balance between my house-hold duties and
Spiritual pursuits.

About twenty years ago his  friend Hotu, Diwan Hotchand Advani, (Superintendent of Customs, now retired), showed him two volumes of a Sindhi Books titled, "SIND JAY HINDUN JEE TAREEKH".

The book interested him as it recounted the History of Sind and Sindhi's, and especially as it also contained photographs of our ancestors.

Hotu got these volumes photocopied for him, courtesy of Mr. Pishu T. Chellaram.

After glancing at some of the pages that seemed interesting to him, he put the volumes away.

Now, twenty years later, he has picked up these volumes again and is making an attempt to translate certain sections of them in English.

This attempt is not only for the benefit of our children, Sunder, his wife Saira, Madhavi, her husband Mohan (Bob), Anuja and grandchildren Aysha, Shazia, Aditya , and Kiran, but also for all Sindhi youngsters who may have an interest to know about their roots.

I am convinced that you will be proud to get to learn about our roots of lineage as well as the source of our surnames.

Sincerely, 

Shakun
