Amjad Sabri and the case for gun control
Allah Dino belonged to Mirpur Bathoro town in Sujawal district. His song, Janatul Firdous Aahin Hi Kandhioon Mehran Joon [The banks of Indus river are like heaven], raised him to prominence. He has many albums of Sindhi songs to his credit. The lyrics in his songs were mostly taken from the poetry of Shaikh Ayaz, Imdad Hussaini, Zulfiqar Rashdi, Ghulam Hussain and other poets of the twentieth century.
Allah Dino's father, Ali Muhammad Khaskheli, was also a singer who imparted the art to his son. A graduate from the Sindh University with a Bachelor's in Education, Allah Dino also taught at a government school in Mirpur Bathoro. He will be laid to rest in his hometown.
