Who are the Shields: A Historical and Cultural
Perspective
In the world black and white play a very important role in determining
social class. So much has been written about it that it continues till now. As
for establishing superiority, the whites have limited it. Black people are seen
as unique in the world because of their color and race.
Existence of Blacks in the Subcontinent:
In the subcontinent, black people are called Sidi, Habshi, and Shidi. And
researchers have conflicting opinions about them. While some say they are the
original people of the region and others say they were brought by slavery, both
of these things require research.
The Shedi community of
Pakistan are descendants of East Africans who were enslaved by Arab traders
between the 8th and 19th centuries. According to the Young Shedi Welfare Organization
(YSWO), there are no reliable figures on the size of the community's
population, with estimates ranging from a substantial 50,000 to less than one
million. Despite this, Pakistan is known to have the largest population of
Afro-descendants in Asia. Shidis live in southern Pakistan, with an estimated
50 percent in Lower Sindh, 20 percent in Karachi city, and 30 percent in
Balochistan. The majority of Shidis are Muslim, but their distinctive cultural
characteristics are linked to their specific history.
It is recorded in the history books of Sindh that this region was named
after the two sons of Ham bin Nuh. Whose names were Hind and Sindh, the black
race is also related to the race of Ham, that is, the black race has been
living here since ancient times. According to anthropologists, the ancient
nations of the southern regions of India have been inhabited since the time the
world came into existence.
