Padidan-A city of Peace and Harmony

Farooq Rajper -feature

Padidan doesn’t have vast history but still it has many things to offer. Which are its historical Railway Station which was built 120 years ago by East India Company to flourish their business throughout the region. An Airport which was built for emergency landings and a Meteorological department which is constructed besides Airport for weather news, Old buildings which were built by Hindus in Mugal eraand a rest house which is now in bad condition. British and Hindus made these but after them no one has even bothered to preserve them.

Bheru Mal Chand Aadwani wrote in detail that how Padidan was established. He wrote that in the end of eighteenth century Deewan Naraendas was a landlord of Hingorja in the period of Talpurs. Deewan idan mal was married to Hingorani’s daughter, Deewan Naraendas had a dispute over property with his brothers, so they decided to leave and live in a place where there would be no property disputes and live in peace and harmony. 

Idan Mal agreed with him and for his pleasure in district NaushehroFeroze 17 km east dwelled in a land free of disputes, fight, and enemies.

Deewan Idan Mal with the support of Wadero Fateh Ali Khan Rajper settled a village and called his many relatives to settle here.

So that’s why that land was called “Pat Idan” before and now Padidan after Deewan Idan Mal’s name which means ‘land of Idan’As written in the book ‘Padidan in the Reflection of History’.

When in 1843 Charles Napier of East India Companybrought many social, political and economic changes in the region. As written in book “Padidan in the reflection of history by Zahid Soomro” population of Padidan was 485, of different ethnicities in total.

In the period of British Padidan developed in every aspect and become a town. British brought irrigational changes and built barrages so that water could reach in every part and farmers could cultivate their land because irrigation was the only source of income.

There is a century old rest house built by British in 1902 which has a sprawling garden, many trees overshadows the front entrance far from the town’s busting life. This is a small but an airy rest house. It is part of the series of rest houses built by the Irrigation Department in the late 19th and early 20th century.

In November 1896 railway line was started, with the establishment of railway station citizens of Padidan and nearby towns facilitated to travel anywhere easily. Because at that time there weren’t any good roads to travel. And peoples do travel by Camel, Horse and Bull carts. So this was a revolutionary change in a small town.

It was all the better when in 1930 Padidan was given the status of ‘Railway Junction’. Because of this, public not only got the advantage of low fares but safe journey too. As time passed a new city was built besides railway station. Which was named as Padidan Station.

Before partition Hindus and Muslims were living in peace and harmony but after partition many Hindus migrated and there are old houses of Hindus situated in old Padidan, which were built in early era of Talpurs. There lived other ethnicities too which include Sikhs, Christians and Oads.

Padidan is free from tribal feuds which are common in northern Sindh, and is a land of Peace, Harmony and Tranquility. It has good literacy rate which can be seen from its schools, academies and colleges. And every year a large number of students go abroad and other cities like Jamshoro, Karachi and Islamabad for further studies.

The only thing which people of Padidan want is preserving these sites.

Padidan-A historical Aspect

Farooq-feature-Padidan a historical aspect

One biggest problem for me is that where from I should start? Because unfortunately with the passage of time historians have neglected it in every era of time. ( if its so then why u are writing it with this headline:a historical aspect"

Padidan don’t have vast history but still it have many things to offer. Which are its historical Railway Station (why historical? state reason or incident event related to it.,) Airport, Old buildings (name those buildings)and a rest house which are now in bad condition. British and Hindus made these but after them no one has even bothered to preserve these.

Bheru Mal Chand Aadwani wrote in detail that how Padidan was established.He wrote that in the end of eighteenth century Deewan Naraendas was a landlord of Hingorja in the period of Talpurs. Deewan idan mal was married to Hingorani’s daughter, Deewan Naraendas had a dispute over property with his brothers, so they decided to leave and live in a place where there would be no property disputes and live in peace and harmony. 

Idan Mal agreed with him and for his pleasure in district NaushehroFeroze 17 km east dwelled in a land free of disputes, fight, and enemies.

Deewan Idan Mal with the support of Wadero Fateh Ali Khan Rajper settled a village and called his many relatives to settle here.

So that’s why that land was called “Pat Idan” before and now Padian after Deewan Idan Mal’s name whaich means “land of Idan”. Reference?

When in 1843 British Empire ( it was not British Empire, Napier was employee of East India Company and British Empire rule came in India after 1858 independence war or Balwa)defeated Talpurs,) then British Empire bring many social, political and economic changes in the region. As written in book “Padidan in the reflection of history by Zahid Soomro” population of Padidan was 485, of different ethnicity in total.

In the period of British Empire Padidan developed in every aspect and become a town. British brought irrigational changes and built barrages so that water could reach in every part so that farmers could cultivate their land because irrigation was the only source of income.

There is century old rest house built by British Empire in 1902 which has a sprawling garden, many trees overshadows the front entrance far from the town’s busting life. This is small but airy rest house. It is part of the series of rest houses built by the Irrigation Department in the late 19th and early 20th century. It is one of the many things Padidan has to offer. (why?)

In 15-11-1896 railway line was started.with the establishment of railway station citizens of Padidan and nearby towns facilitated to travel anywhere easily. Because at that time there weren’t any good roads to travel. And peoples do travel by Camel. Horse and Bull carts. So this was a revolutionary change in a small town.

It was all the better when in 1930 Padidan was given the status of ‘Railway Junction’. Because of this, public not only got the advantage of low fares but safe journey. As time passes a new city was built besides railway station. Which was named as Padidan Station.

Before partition Hindus and Muslims were living in peace and harmony but after partition many Hindus migrated and there are old houses of Hindus situated in old Padidan, which were built in early era of Talpurs. There lived other ethnicities too which include Sikhs, Christians and Oodds.

Padidan is free from tribal feuds which are common in northern Sindh, and is a land of Peace, Harmony and Tranquility. It has good literacy rate which can be seen from its schools, academies and colleges. And every year a large number of students go abroad and other cities like Jamshoro. Karachi. And Islamabad for further studies.
