Rogan is an technique of cloth printing practiced in the Gujarat, Peshawar and Sindh regions of India and Pakistan. The word rogan has roots in both Persian and Sanskrit, meaning oil. In this craft, paint is made from boiled castor oil or linseed oil and vegetable dyes is laid down on fabric using a stylus.

The process of applying this oil based paint to fabric was developed among the Khatri community in Gujarat and the techniques of preparing and applying dyes was passed down in the family. As rogan printed cloth tended to be less expensive than other heavily embroidered garments but could still produce the illusion of embroidery, it was the wedding garment of choice for women from poorer families. The craft nearly died out in the late 20th century with the availability of cheaper and machine-made textiles. However, it is currently being revived mostly due to the efforts of the artist Abdulgafur Khatri and his family, who work tirelessly to spread awareness about Rogan art and teach it to young people, mostly young women from poor families in order to empower them by providing a means of livelihood as well as keeping the art of rogan alive.

Allan Faqir--the voice of soulful Sindh

You know what the expensive restaurants say on their menus: Good food takes time. Please be patient. The same applies to this music by soulful Sindhi folk artist Allan Faqir. This is not the musical equivalent of McDonalds. Rather it is an expensive meal in a fine eatery. It is something not to gobble down in a few minutes but rather something to savour and luxuriate in. Rather than food, the…

About 3,830 cases of dengue fever have been reported by health officials in southern Sindh province, with at least nine deaths, but there are concerns this may be a conservative estimate. "Overall the situation in Sindh is very bad, we are organising medical camps all over the province. Most of the cases we are seeing now are of dengue patients followed closely by malaria," Dr Abdul Ghafoor Shoro, Secretary General of the Pakistan Medical Association, said. "The dengue burden is the same all over the province and it's increasing daily. When we checked with the laboratories, the suspected cases are around 80% of tests being done." Dr Shoro, who has been treating scores of dengue patients at Agha Khan hospital in Karachi, fears the situation is only going to worsen in the coming weeks.

14th August Ride to Bal Puri mandir Waterfall - Thana Ahmed Khan.

You will need a support of local to go there. Roads were average. A little bit off-road track. Cars won't be able to go there. It's a great hidden treasure or Sindh to explore.
