DONKEY RACE

It is neither a joke nor it is a fake story. Nothing else but truth. Every year a DONKEY RACE is organised at OARA in Sudhnutti District. This year it was conducted almost two months ago. It was conducted on the route from Oara to Goth Village. Many even outside the district brought their donkeys to participate. A small but not very small prize was kept for the winner. This small activity was held in a very sobre manner. Many young and old from almost all walks of life came down to the village to watch. It was quite interesting to see donkeys racing on a hill track which is not a usual scene to watch, at least in this part of the town.

At the end of this race a new precedence was made. Dr Sardar Muhammad Haleem Khan, resident of Goth(Sudhnutti) announced that we will conduct a Human Race in the month of June this year. Therefore a RACE is planned in the month of June for which sponsers and media coverage is already arranged. People who want to participate are already preparing for this unique oppertunity. For this a registration fee has already been announced and a prize(CASH) will be given to the winner. Lets see now who wins this race.

SUDHAN EDUCATION CONFERENCE

A blog for the above name had been created for the people who care about this organisation. It is quite useful and will help you to understand the role of this organisation which was created back in 1935 to educate the Sudhan Tribe in specific and Kashmiris in general. I hope it has served some of its goal, if we look around us and the number of people learned at that time and now. A link to SEC is as fol:-

Major G. Carmichael Smyth                             (Book: A History of the Reigning Family of Lahore)

"About the year 1832, several independent hill-tribes inhabiting the north western regions of the Punjaub  were reduced into subjection to the Lahore state. These were the Doondh, Soodhun (Sudhun), Suthee, and Murdiall tribes… The Soodhun tribe inhabited a large tract on the eastern bank of the same river opposite the country of the Doondhs, and numbered about forty thousand souls. "

A WORD ABOUT SUDHAN TRIBE

Sudhans also known as Sudozais came to Kashmir(Poonch) though Dera Ismail Khan with their elder Nawab Jassy Khan, who is burried at Jassa Pir Hill Top looking over Mang(tehsil of Rawalakot). Sudhans after that time settled in this area and are still dwelling in almost all districts of Azad Kashmir. They are a martial race and had been part of military ever since. The current Prime Minister of Kashmir: Sardar Yaqub Khan is also from the same Tribe (SUDHAN).
