The Sindh Hari Committee was a leftist and Sindhi nationalist political organization in Sindh, Pakistan that sought to promote the interests of the haris (landless peasant farmers) of Sindh. It was founded in 1930 by G. M. Syed. In 1947, Hyder Bux Jatoi took over as president of the committee until his death in 1970. In 1957 it became a constituent party of the National Awami Party.
Establishment of the Committee:
Sindh Hari Committee was formed in 1930-31 in Mirpur Khas. Its programme was to improve the condition of the Sindhi peasants and to make efforts for providing them with better facilities of life. It was established due to the efforts of comrades Abdul Qadir, Jamshed Mehta Nasrwanji, Jethmal Parsaram, G. M. Syed and Abdul Majid Sindhi. ‘Land to the tiller’ and ‘total abolition of landlordism’ have always been the basic slogans of the Committee since its inception. The seizure and distribution of the land of landlords still remains the central rallying point amongst the peasantry and other democratic classes. Without the victory of this slogan, they posited, there cannot be any solution to rural poverty, unemployment, and the miserable living condition of the Haris of Sindh.
Sindh Hari Committee was associated with the All India Kissan Sabha and its flag was of red colour indicating its communist mark. Author Cesar P. Pobre is of the view that in its initial years it worked as a committee with the objective to look into the deplorable working condition of the Haris. In 1945, Hyder Bakhsh Jatoi joined the committee after resigning from his government job as revenue collector. At that time the leading members of the Committee included Abdul Ghafoor Jan Sirhindi, Hyder Bakhsh Jatoi, Maulvi Nazir Hussain, Abdul Qadir and Ghulam Muhammad Leghari.
