Kewalram Salamtrai was one of the most important early writers of
Sindhi prose with his two books of ethical parables: Sookhri (A Gift)
and Gul(Flowers), written between 1864 and 1871. He also compiled a
book of proverbs deriving them from Sindhi customs and manners, called
Gul Shakar (Conserve of Roses). Dewan Kewalram's language was the
idiomatic Sindhi of the soil, so fresh and fascinating in its
simplicity, and possessing an old-world flavour all its own.
