Brief history

Sindh is known as the valley of saints, which in ancient times reached as far as Multan (now in Punjab Province). Islam first spread through the preachers (sahabas and saints) who educated the people of this valley through their teachings. For the last several hundred years the region of Sindh from Nawabshah to Thatta has been known as the area of Sahteya (literature and education) with Matiari at its centre.
