Early life and education

Bohio was born on 14 March 1946. He got his formal education at his village school and then several other religious schools. Raised in the small village of Khair Muhammad Bohio near the city district Naushahro Feroze Sindh, Bohio was a highly qualified religious scholar and was the author of several books about Religion, Politics and Islamic History and multiple other issues.

Political career

Bohio was completely devoted to Sindh in spite of being a religious man. He was a member of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI) also with Mufti Mehmood late 1980.[1] But when Mufti declared Pakistan Army`s operation right over Bangladesh and several other issues about Sindh cause including future of Sindhi language in Pakistan, water, other resources, people coming from other provinces to Sindh he left JUI because Mufti failed to satisfy him. He then started his own party named "Sindh Sagar Party" with his other religious friends (of which he was the founder) and remained Chairman of that party (a political party belonging to the region of Sindh) until his death. Although he was always active for rights of labour, he remained Secretary General of Pakistan Oppressed Nations Movement (PONM) Sindh Chapter. His son was kidnapped while working as the leader of PONM. He struggled against Water Shortage in Sindh and demanded no more Dams on Indus river. He struggled for the rights of minorities, Oppressed Nations, labor and farmers. He was against the conversion of Hindu-girls for marriage.

Critical points of view

Bohio was the strict opposite and critic of religious extremism. For that reason, he had advised his relatives to bury him in the graveyard of non-Muslims so that the difference of Muslims and non-Muslims can be decreased in Sindh, which became a warm debate in Religious and Social platforms during his death days. Bohio was against the wrong definers of Islam for that he faced many oppositions by religious forums for his critical points of views about Islamic Ethics and beliefs described in his books. He believed that early Muslim governments were not faithful to Islam because many things which were prescribed, their actual propose is varied by them for their vested interests, including specially the age of Muhammad, which is according to Quran one hundred and twenty three he believed. He also challenged to whole Muslim scholars that the word "Salah" which is mentioned seven hundred times in Quran is not for an individual prayer named Namaz, which is a Persian word which means Fire worship. But word Salah is ordered for an aggregate action as an organization, Unity or gathering of public for improving people's social, political, personal and economic problems. His two books "Islamic History according to Quran" and " Difference in Salah and Namaz according to Quran" are an open challenge to Islamic literature but no written objection or reply was published in his life for which he waited till his death.

Books and publications

Bohio was a highly qualified religious scholar and was the author of fifty two books about Religion, Politics and Islamic History and multiple other issues. His articles were being published in newspapers and magazines. His ever popular book about the Sindh Punjab water dispute "Water according to Quran" was considered to be a strong reference material about this issue. "Islamic History according to Quran" is also his outstanding work about Islamic history. All his books were published by "Sindh Sagar Acadmey".
