Dr Moti Prakash

This was irritating and painful for sindhi leaders, eminent literary personalities of Sindhi literature and a lot of common Indian Sindhis that in India Sindhis didn’t have a separate state or even any specific way of participating in the political process or making economic decision alike the most other community have and this is even after the Sindhis contributes a major share towards the G. D. P. of country. Migrant Sindhis become stable and well settled in India just only on the bases of very strong cultural, social, economic and political heritage Sindhis have.
In these situations, Dr Moti Prakash came forward with a song “Aandhi mein Jot Jagain Wara Sindhi Ain Khak Khe Sonu Banain Wara Sindhi” [Sindhi is one who dare to initiate flame even in storms and have skills and abilities to turn dust into Gold]. This song not only become popular among masses but at the most of Sindhi Social gatherings this song is sung as Sindhi community Anthem.
Dr Moti Prakash was born on 15 May 1931 in Thatta District of Sindh. He was at the peak of his teen age when was forced to migrate. All the struggle, humiliations and troubles Sindhi community has faced during that period of resettling have made a huge unforgettable impact on mind of young Moti Prakash. So when I look at Sindhi Song Witten by him and become popular as Sindhi Community Anthem, it appears to me  much more than a literary creation of Dr. Moti Prakash, It is expression of mind of the 16 years young boy forced to migrate and  was forced to work for the sack of  education of younger brother . This song is also reflection of all achievements of Sindhi community after migrating to India in 1947.
This economic struggle for education has inspired and generated a fire for doing something significant towards the education of Sindhi community. In 1951, he passed S. S. C Examination from S. S. C Board, Poona and immediately after that he started his professional career as the teacher with Sindh Cosmopolitan High School, Chembur, Mumbai and kept continue his studies.
He was such a dedicated person that within short span of just three years he was offered a job at K. J. Khilnani Group of Schools, where he worked till February 1977. After working for 14 years as the teacher, in the year 1968 Dr. Moti Prakash was appointed as the Principal of K. J. Khilnani High School Dadar, Mumbai.
Sindhis in the Gulf countries have started Indian High School, affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education, New Delhi, and looking for the safe hands for the growth and care of the institution. Their search ended with Dr. Moti Prakash, who joined the institution in February 1977 as the principal and was promoted to the post of Rector of the Institution in the year 2000.
After retiring back to India in April 2002 Dr. Moti Prakash returned back to homeland and become associated with Indian Institute of Sindhology and S. H. N. Academy, Adipur as a Member of their Boards & Trusty.  
Dr. Moti Prakash was also associated with All India Radio (from 1956 to 1977) and has produced more than 200 plays. He also wrote a few Sindhi Drama like “Anja Ta Maan Nandhri Ahyan” (l am still a small kid) [1962] and “Raat Hik Toofan Ji “‘ (Stormy night) [1971]  During his long illustrated educational career this genus sindhi educationist hold various key positions in various organization other than his school. At Mumbai on 4th August 2015 Dr. Moti Prakash breathed last.
