SOONDA HISTORY
Thatta is a historian archeology a great civilization knowledge and literature consequently,there is a great authenticity in the whole world.Historical archaeological sites are found in the corner of Thatta.Thatta need research on ports,coat castle,forts,monuments,shrines,mosques,palaces,graves,and other archaelogical sites because historian artifacts in various areas of Thatta have been very narrowly written.They include Soonda ancient historical hertiage.Historical books show silence on soonda’s history.If a book is written on the authenticity of soonda in a few lines it do not seem justice to the ancient works.
The ancient archaelogical sites
of soonda are nearer to hyderabad,it is situated about 20-22 miles from
Thatta-Hyderabad road.The village was respected by Muslims as a noble family of
saints known as Makhdoom lived there.Names of Makhdoom Ramzan vendani,Mula
Ari,Mula Bayzid and Mula Abu Bakar are well renowned for their pious living.The
common people very often visited the graves of these saintly personalities
situated in the graveyard.Human representation on these graves are one of the
unique feature of the Tombs.The ancient cemetery,mosques,graves,old castles and
forts are still significant today.The graves of the soonda graveyard are made
up of Yellow stones.This stone was pulled out by the nearer mountains.At
present time,the condition of these graves are extreme and the signs of most
graves have been destroyed.It is sad to see the destruction of ancient
places,like ancient heritage,hundreds of pieces of soonda are near to
eradicate.The graves present at soonda cemetery are Chaukhandi Peer Baja
Bazaar,Palechani cemetery inside keenjhar,Makli cemetery,Pir Pitto
cemetery,Dargah Shah Hussain Gju and Tharri Nzgaj cemetery.
There are different carvings
made on the graves of soonda graveyard like riders,archers,swords and other
sculptures which shows that they are the graves of warriors and also represent
their ranks.According to Archaeological Survey of India,on 31 March,1919,the archaeological works were
extremely spectacular.These graves are at height of 8,10 and 12 feet.The graves
of women and children were decorated in different parts of the soonda
cemetery.There is also a umbrella like eight pool on which a dome is consist.It
contains Kashi’s color plates.On the door there is persian writting along with
eight graves.In addition to this,the condition of this dome is extremely
dangerous it is possible that this diminished dome might fall at any time.Going
inside it is risky at all.Dark books are silent about the graves of people in
soonda but historians have estimates that these graves are mostly of the Baloch
nation.In historical refrences,soonda jhark par lakhu has written the same
letter to the graveyard and golden history of Balochs,written by the Henry
kings,is situated at a distance of 100 meters to the cemetry which lies from
soonda.The same history is observed that the main graves of soonda’s grave are
from the Baloch nation.According to Henry kings,Lashari baloch was written on
one of the tomb.That is why the majority of the burried people in the soonda
cemetery are of balochi tribes.It is possible that Lashari baloch fought war
also with other tribes and soldiers which were killed in the war have been
burried here.Soonda and jhark peopleand the people of nearer areas were in the
limits of River khan.The spy-bearer had settled all the battles of the baloch
tribes of thatta.In the same way,it could also be said that the tomb of these
graves were from baloch nation.
The memorable Mughal Eidgah of
the Mughal era is still present on the top of the soonda cemetery in a full
state.It is simple festival.It owns the simple beautiful yellow stone on the
prayer mat of the imams.The dome on both sides of walls are made up to 12 feet
high.On the corner of cemetery inside the dome,the stairs are made to go to
Mughal Eidgah.A small Mughal mosque has also been built below the stairs.It has
been built again where prayers are performed.The important monuments of Mughal
era are also giving more importance to the history of soonda.At the backside of
Mughal Eidgah,it shows the beautiful view of River Indus.It has been a major
cultural center in the past,instead of an atmosphere of health.There are many
historical and authentic books on soonda’s significance.The English historian
Henry king’s has closed the ancient history of soonda and jhark cemetery in his
books.This book is important,authentic about the history of soonda and get more
information.It is also recorded in the same book that the graves of the
hundreds riders are the soonda graveyard.One of the English historian consider
the soonda and the jhark mountains are composed with the stone periods.The weapons
are also found near the mountain of jhark.Research on this area can lead to a
long history.Mr Corner,who has been interested in the history,has also paused
these principles.In Docter Nabi Baksh Khan’s book “Jhang-e-Nama”,Maulai Shehdai
book “Jannat-ul-Sindh” and many others book the history of soonda can be found.
Soonda is the fertile area of
the best climate based on its location.There are two lakes in the history one
is Golden lake and the other is Keenjhar lake.These both lakes are in the same
region.Now the Golden lake is mixed with the Keenjhar lake,now it becomes the
one and the same lake.the mention of the soonda’s land is also written by the
sindh’s famous historician Meer Ali sheer in his book name “Toofa-ul-karam” in
1180 AD.it is recorded in the book that the reason of the soonda city is that
on this mountain there was a begger who sings a “RAAG”.This weakness was
pleaded for the prayers to fullfill the demands of the of the poors and
because of this Ragh this place become famous.
Despite its rich history and
vast beauty,parts of soonda site are in a state of decay.Due to recent
floods,vandalism,trash and damage to the structural integrity of some Tombs,the
sites is in desperate need of renovation and conservation efforts in recent
years.it still remains one of the most important Landmarks in the History as
well as Pakistan culture.Anyone who finds themselves in Pakistan especially the
Sindh region must take the time to visit this Man-made Wonder.
