Cities across Sindh came alive with colour and music on Sunday amid Culture Day festivities, as large jubilant crowds wearing traditional caps and Ajrak shawls poured into the streets.
In Karachi and Hyderabad, men and women, dressed in traditional attire, gathered outside press clubs to celebrate the day, and events, featuring traditional music and dances, were held elsewhere as well.
Here are glimpses of the festive occasion from the province’s two main cities.

Why everything labeled as it all belongs to Bhutto families in Sindh Province, Why? Why? Why?
Sindh Province belongs to all people living in this
loving province. Why only Bhutto?

Sindh culture is richer than topi and Ajrak. They have good literature and poetry. Currently they are morally bankrupt and in my opinion holding Karachi back and Pakistan. Also no Pakistani flag have room in Sind culture drama!

It is good to celebrate, but a very logical question with all Interiror Sindh Peoples. What they have achieved in the Past and what they can achieve in the future for the their next generation in this 21st Cenury. Can any one give us a logical answer with facts and honesty.

What a load of crock! They bought chaos and misery on the streets by choking major traffic points. Everyone seems to think that the only way to celebrate or commemorate anything in this country has to start by inconveniencing the general public.

The historic, traditional, centuries old and wonderful culture of Sindh, Islamic Republic of Pakistan has been altered and changed by the family-owned, clan-operated, dynasty-backed, cult-dominated and Larkana/Bilawal House based PPP, the so-called political party of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to suit its selfish wants and needs in order to let it rule Sindh for good.

happy cultural day to Sindh, please also concentrate on education and work ethics also with due respect, and we might all agree that education is the key to progress,please disassociate yourself with Bhuttos and Zardaris they are useless they haven't done anything for vast majority of wider Sind, only two months ago we saw it about their behaviour and to counter against flood havoc which was disappointing and no doubt it will be same in future also same like for past forty years, good lick

If only common Sindhi people understood and realized how they have been fooled and robbed of their fundamental rights over and over again by their very own so called Sindhi politicians, they wouldn't be celebrating at all. The Wadera culture will never provide education and health to the Sindhi people and will always exploit them, so much so that when disaster strikes and the common man drowns in floods, the Wadera will just see it as a Gondola ride in Venice.
