By nominating renowned Sindhi writer and intellectual Sobho Gayan Chandani for Kamal-e-Funn Award 2004, the Pakistan Academy of Letters has taken the initiative to recognise the lifetime literary achievement of a regional language writer for the first time and set an example of promoting the spirit of literary harmony between all regional languages of Pakistan. They said that this decision has broken the monopoly of any one language over Pakistan’s literary scenario.
