Produktbeschreibung
The pick of the staunch Hurs are classified as Fakirs and Ghazis and their Namaz-e-Janaza was offered in their life time. In Sindh there are many hereditary saints of different shades and character and they have exercised great influence over their followers. The masses in general are disciples of one Pir or the other. No one in Sindh seeking religious guidance is without his Pir. The most celebrated of these Pirs was Sabghatullah Shah, Pir Pagaro of Kingri. He was a very strongly built man with penetrating eyes, broad shoulders and a few small-pox marks on his face and was gifted with an excellent personality. He was invariably immaculately dressed. When giving an audience to his followers he wore a cap covered with gold and jewels and an expensive embroidered coat. He was alleged to have been fond of shooting and damsels and hence on visits to various areas, when unaccompanied by his family he honored well-dressed pretty spinsters offered to him for his nocturnal comfort. Pir Pagaro had tremendous influence in Sindh and in the States of Khairpur and Rajputana. The Hurs considered him almost a super natural being.
