| Nirmaldas Fatehchand Nirmaldas Fatehchand (1866 -1940) Nirmaldas Fatehchand
(1866—1940) was a profound scholar in many languages : Arabic,
Persian, Hindi and English, and was an authority on Islamic religion
and history as well as on Vedantism, Sufism and Sikhism. Although a
prolific writer both in poetry and prose, his published output consists
only of a poetic translation of the famous Persian epic, Shah Nama of
Firdousi, and two prose works : Sarojini (1914), a tale of old Sind
dealing with Hindu-Muslim unity ; and his masterpiece
Daloorai-ji-Nagari (The City of Daloorai)—1924, a book of
research in the history of old Sind. The style of Nirmaldas, however,
was highly Arabicized and its scholastic nature makes it prohibitive
for the common reader.
