Certificate-1864

Sindhi was made the official language in place of Persian in Sindh in 1851 by Sir Henry Bartle Frere (Chief Commissioner Sindh). The officers of Sindh were ordered to learn Sindhi compulsorily to enable them to carry on day-to-day work efficiently.

 

An evidence of which is shown in the certificate issued to my great-great-grandfather Mr. Muhammad Naeem Qureshi or Muhammad Naeem Munshi as he was officially called, the certificate was about clearing of Class-II officer's exam held on 14 October 1863 and this certificate was issued to him by the Collector Shikarpur District Captain Leonel Danester Vale on 22nd July 1864
