About us

Indus Asia Online Journal (iaoj) is a progressive blog and it is serving the community since July 2005. We had first started Indus Asia Online at “blogspot.com” but the Govt. imposed the whole sale blockade on “blogspot.com” during Musharraf regime without telling any reasons. The visitors have lost access to all the sites which were on “blogspot.com“.
Most of our readers are in Pakistan and especially in Sindh, therefore, our readers are also affected by the whole sale ban of the government authorities. We took special efforts and started our blog at “freewebs.com” but there was not enough flexibility available at “freewebs” to run Indus Asia Online Journal in a fashionable way. Therefore, the Indus Asia Team has decided to move/ switch IAOJ to “wordpress.com”. From September 15, 2007, Indus Asia Online Journal is working fine at “wordpress.com”.
Indus Asia Online Journal focuses on the thoughts and to discuss on Socio economic political and geo-political conditions of the world. However, “IAOJ” encourages publishing about current affairs, human rights, analysis on issues, multicultural and community activities, history, the material which create awareness about economic inequalities, gender basis inequalities, life experiences, sharing photos, famous personalities, jokes, interesting topics and etc. We have created Indus Asia Online Journal, iaoj, because the dominant media was ignoring the voices of common people. Our slogan is; all nations, all races, all creeds have same dreams and same needs. Courteous arguments are welcome.
Our webside address is as under;
http://www.iaoj.wordpress.com
We hope you will keep continue visiting IAOJ.

Dear Sindhi People,
Jeay Latif.
Do unite without further delay and form a new political plateform which can ensure safeguard to your natural rights. Find out geneous people from your class to lead you selflessly. Come forward to reject all the federal political regems. Make a true use of your vote in the favor of your own nominated people and wipe out the traditional waderas, sardars and family lords from the political system of sindh.
This is only the way to come out from the situation we face at present. We have to use our vote as a last resort against the evils of our society.
I particularly advise my dear political workers of sindh based political parties to mountain pressure on your leadership to unite and form one political party for the sacred cause of saving sindh. I also appeal the political leaders of sindh base parties to minimize the differences in the name of Sindh and begin with to develope working relashinship with each other forthwith. We the people outside the motherland will certainly appreciate your efforts made if any in this direction
Hope for the best future of sindh.
