- This video is the second part of Aju John's interview with Senior Advocate and member of the Rajya Sabha, Ram Jethmalani. He was twice elected to the Lok Sabha and has been the Union Minister for Law, Justice and Company Affairs. He was also Chairman of the Bar Council of India between November, 1970 and September 1976.
Ram Jethmalani said that even though he is eighty-seven, he distinctly recalled Shikarpur in Sindh, where he grew up as one of the great cities of India. It was on the trade route between India and the countries of Iran and Afghanistan. The people of this city were engaged mainly in banking businesses in southern India. They were extremely rich people who spent nine months outside the city and came back for three months to spend their money.
"It was a paradise for eaters. It provided the best possible food. There was a place called Moti's shop where you could spend one anna on a kulfi and you would not have an appetite for the rest of the day. Even the ladies of the upper class families would receive ten rupees per head per month and the standard of living was very comfortable. Kodis, the shells that were found on the beach, were current coin. For one paisa, you used to get fairly big-sized piece of bread with liver, mince, delicious gravy, chutney and onions and you could make a meal out of it."
"The greatest beauty was the flowing canal - the Sindhwan, which had water flowing from the Indus for three months every year." On both sides of the canal, were the bungalows of rich people - bungalows that contained swimming pools and ponds. People used to go upstream for about two to three miles, depending on how much water there was, and come down in the canal. Food, mangoes and local wine used to float along with the swimmer. At evening time, the swimmer would get into one of the rich people's bungalows, and into the wells, which had niches, and food would be sent down the well in baskets. "I have never seen anything like that anywhere in the world."
Ram Jethmalani also said that he was a good student. "Once in third standard, I was put up on a stage and other school teachers and principals were invited, and it was announced that people could ask me any questions in Mughal history. I did such a good job that people started throwing money at me and some rich people even threw gold guineas."
"My father was a practicing lawyer, my gradfather was a lawyer and the president of the municipality. I passed my Ll.B. at the age of seventeen." The rules of the local bar council required that he had to be twenty-one years of age. Ram Jethmalani wrote to the Chief Justice saying that the rule should not apply to him because the rule did not exist when he joined the law college. The Chief Justice then asked the Bar Council to make room for some exceptions, and it was compelled to do so because he got first class in Bombay University - which at that time included the whole of Maharashtra, the whole of Sindh and parts of Gujarat. He then started practice exactly when he completed my eighteenth year, and became a major.
He is very right, because I'm from shikarpur...
SHIKARPUR, PAKISTAN
Shikarpur (Sindhi: شِڪارپوُرُ, Urdu: شکارپور) is the capital of Shikarpur District in Sindh province of Pakistan. It is situated about 29 km from the left bank of the Indus, with a railway station, 37 km north-west of Sukkur.
Shikarpur is famous for its pickles and sweets from Mola Bukhsh Memon. It has a large market and manufactures of cotton, cloth and pottery.Shikarpur used to be called "Paris of East" because of its modern buildings and its perfume industry.
Love & miss you sir Mr Jethmalani.
Love and regards from Chennai ( Madras ) Tamilnadu, India.
I always admire the sindhi community for their qualities of love & warmth especially with muslims.
Longlive the Sindhi community and their inter & intra community love.
Being LK Advani an exception who has tarnished your community's image to an extent.
Being LK Advani the exception who has tarnished your community's image to an extent.
Did not tarnish the community as much as the daily dose of terrorist's tarnish your community 🤷🏼♂️
Sindhi Hindus became landless now
Well isn't it ironic what Sindhi community received in return for their love & warmth with Muslims?
I have heard all the stories of partitions from my grandparents about how Muslims Neighbours, their workers, Imams etc suddenly became blood thirsty and killed more than half the village even newborns weren't spared many of my grandparents'relatives also died. My great-grandfather fought against 12 Muslim attacker armed with sword and defeated just them with a stick and took everyone out of there but unfortunately most people couldn't fight back as never in their wildest dream did they imagine their neighbours would suddenly turn bloodthirsty demons and stab them in the back. We who have suffered have been taught "Don't hate demons nothing good comes out of it but beware not to associate yourself with them"
Sindhis' never had any conflict with Muslims and lived peacefully for centuries, even Arabic (written) is a simpler form of Sindhi script. But look what has become of Sindh once the centre of civilization and business now bankrupt
L K Advani is a pride of Hindutva..
Just as Jinnah , Suhrawardy are villains for us, L K Advani may be a villain for you Muslim fanatics..
Love you sir Mr Jethmalani.
Love and regards from Chennai ( Madras) Tamilnadu, India.
I always admire the sindhi community for their qualities of love & warmth especially with muslims, doing fair business, offering Ramadan Iftar food gifts in Wallajahi Masjid since long back.. truly amazing.
Only LK Advani was a great culprit from Sindhi Society.. bringing shame and disrespect to the Nation and Sindhis
@@Altaaff123 Sorry to say brother but every sindhi hate muslim we wont forget 1947 never
sindhis might have moved on but forget nah!
@@sushil6509 Hate is a strong word and they don't deserve that much attention from us. As we have been taught "Don't hate demons it won't do you any good but beware not to associate yourself with them"
We don't teach our children to hate anyone even people who took our land and killed our people but take a lesson from it and never trust a Muslim cause the person can be good or bad but what to do about the ideology and hate filled within them only few great people like Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam can overcome it but the irony is some Muslims may idolize people like him but will still follow extremists and Imams. Truly tragic
@@mohitdhanwani6431 sorry I don't Know where your grandparents were from in Sindh but Sindh was only province where there was no killing of Hindus even I have seen interview of Many old Sindhi Hindus who also mentioned Muslims didn't harm them many Hindus left after muhajar migration into Sindh and Karachi who created trouble for Hindu otherwise native Muslims didn't kill Hindus
@@sushil6509we also don't forget that u r nothing but anakes😂
Absolutely right Sir ❤
His narration of the place kinda make me wanna go back in time, boy do I envy him, I wish I was fortunate enough to taste such immaculate Kulfi and delectable meals, Nothing is that pure these days

Indian Sindhi's are losing there Culture and now they don't speak Sindhi Language >>> :( it is very sad
Sahi kaha
india should annex pakistani sindh then
Isn't it ironic, Indian Sindhis' losing culture and had to learn from Pakistani Sindhis' who gave into pressure and got converted hardly culture left now, please do enlighten me what kind of Sindhi rituals, festivals you still follow? How many temples are left in Sindh? Do you have Jhulelal Idol at home? Cause Islam doesn't permit it
Often sindhis hide they're sindhis bcoz after migration Nehru Government highly muslim oriented was ready to ashame sindhis and ofcourse bollywood movies depicted them jokers beaurocracy of India highly jealous of sindhis absolutely miserable
Indian Sindhis have not forgotten their language and culture.
I do not know about Pakistani Sindh..
Ram jethmalani the no.1lawyer of india..............
All are saying Ind
Prj ki...
Pat nahi
Why whole India un neccassary praise him.
He is the man who always played with Indian laws, make mockery, twisted laws and take full advatage of political, judiciary nexus.
He was a blot over India
Always faught for criminals with huge amount of fees.
He is praised for being a champion of his profession not for his morality.
phir toh harish salve bhi salman khan arnab goswami jail se bachata hai
Lawyer's job is to protect their clients. He charged heavy fees for people who could afford it. He did 90% free work.
