An unvarnished memoir of resilience, self-education, and technological ambition through six defining epochs of life in Sindh, Pakistan.
A Child of the Mosque & An Awakening of Curiosity
“They threw my first radio into a deep well, hoping to extinguish my curiosity. Instead, it ignited an unquenchable fire to understand the universe beyond our fields.”
My name is Abdullah, from the Indhar clan. I was born in Haleji Sharif, a traditional village in Taluka Pano Akil, District Sukkur, Sindh, Pakistan. Our home was deeply immersed in Islamic scholarship. My father was a respected scholar who taught the Holy Quran at the village madrasa. My mother educated girls in Quranic recitation and Sindhi, serving as a teacher in the Government Mosque School of our village.
As the cherished son of a religious leader, I received immense affection, learning basic Sindhi and Quranic fundamentals at home under my mother’s gentle care. Yet our world was governed by strict traditional prohibitions. I was allotted just one single rupee every eight days as pocket money, which I meticulously saved.
During that era, transistor radios were capturing the wider world, and an uncontrollable curiosity seized my young mind. But in our village, the mere mention of a radio was treated as unacceptable, and wearing colorful shirts was viewed with suspicion. If elders or village students caught sight of a radio, they would snatch it and cast it into the canal or river.
Driven by an insatiable hunger to hear world news, regional broadcasts, and voices from distant lands, I would sneak away into the quiet, expansive agricultural fields far from the settlement. Soon, the community noticed my daily disappearances. One fateful afternoon, a group of village students tracked my footsteps, cornered me in the crops, seized my precious radio, and hurled it into a deep well.
At that time, a radio cost approximately 150 rupees—a staggering fortune for a child saving coins over months. Undeterred, I collected every single coin for an entire year until I bought another radio. This time, I did not hide. When confronted, I stood firm in open defiance of dogmatic limitations. Despite beatings and being shunned by the village as a rebel, the radio had already awakened my consciousness (Sha’oor). It forced me to think independently, read Ibrat Magazine and Akhbar-e-Jahan bought from the city bazaar, and dream of scientific and technical horizons.
Born into a religious scholarly family in rural Sindh, young Abdullah was given 1 rupee every 8 days. In a village where radio was deemed forbidden, he risked everything to listen to transmissions in secluded agricultural fields.
