Echoes of Sindh: The Fight to Save a Fading Drumming Tradition

Sindh’s centuries-old drumming tradition is fading due to modern technology, cultural neglect, and financial struggles faced by drummers, primarily from the Mangarhar tribe. Once essential to celebrations, traditional drumming is being replaced by loudspeakers, leaving many artisans struggling to sustain their craft. Efforts to preserve this heritage are hindered by inadequate support from Sindh’s cultural department. Advocates urge the government to recognize and revive this dying art before it vanishes completely.
