An online discussion was held under the title of "Sindhi Language, Threats, Opportunities and Suggestions" under the "Sindhi Language Awakening Campaign" by the authority of Sindhi language. Speaking in the discussion, eminent intellectual Jami Chandio said, "This important series was started to increase the sensitivity of the nation about its language. The attitude of the nation towards the language, the basic attitude of the nation and the role of language in the life of the people, is a lot. There is a question of direction. A common concept is that language is only a means of external communication, with which a person communicates or speaks with other people, but this concept is a superficial attitude towards language. Language is actually an expression of the individual existence of a person. An individual becomes a nation and a society. Among the basic elements of nationalism, language is one of the most important elements. It is not possible to see and understand language separately from the individual, society, state, economy, technology and education. because language is an important part of all fields. He said that Sindh is the only province where Sindhi is the official language according to the constitution and law, but in practice it is not at the official level. Sindh's roads, railways, railways The signboards in the stations or general markets are not in Sindhi, the attitude of the government and the governments means management, according to the law, office work, education system and the language at the general level. It has to be supported because the language does not live only by writing poetry and books, but officially, according to the law, the language has to be restricted in order to be used. He suggested that it is necessary to prepare a comprehensive plan and manual to operate the Sindhi language under the law. Efforts should be made to bring Sindhi speakers along with non-Sindhi speakers into the education system of Sindhi language.

Amar Sindhu, a teacher of Sindh University and a famous writer, said that the language that runs the official business moves forward and the state owns it. For this, government patronage and positive attitude is necessary from the market to the teaching field. He said that it is important to look at the collective attitude of the society, the emotional attitude towards the language in Sindhi society is much better, but intellectually the attitude towards the future of the language is not serious. We have to understand that man cannot identify himself without language, for this we have to do something seriously and practically. He suggested that the Sindhi language has got constitutional protection and the law has been made as an official language. For this, all institutions including education should be forced to write their work and activities in Sindhi. Renowned poet Ali Akash said that according to the international law and the opinion of experts, children should be given basic primary education in their own language. Parents think that our child will go ahead and for that English education is necessary. He said that in the big cities of Sindh, the Sindhi language has great difficulties at the market level. There should not be extreme sentiment towards language, new words come in languages ​​and they merge. He further said that we individually as well as civil society, institutions and the government have to take practical steps for the survival of our language under the plan. The host of the online discussion was renowned writer and linguist Professor Idris Jatoi.
