I wonder where he got this idea that Sindhi is no longer spoken in Pakistan https://t.co/HGmUopryeR
Someone must educate Naseeruddin Shah ji that Sindhi is spoken and we have Sindhi media and read our Sindhi literature.

yes we are extinct. I am tweeting from the burial mounds of Moenjodaro. The Indus river dried up a millenia ago. Sindhi is no longer spoken in Pakistan, it is all Chinese and Urdlish https://t.co/FeIcQNQgo7
