a Hakim by profession, was a prominent literary figure of the older

Aftab-e-Adab (Sun of Literature) posthumously published, dealt with the development of Sindhi language. Hakim Fateh Mahommad was a master of chaste Sindhi style, devoid of Arabic and Persian obsession, freely employing simple Sanskrit and Hindi words and phrases without any prejudice. |
