Biography
Muhammad Bux Johar (Sindhi: محمد بخش جوهر) was a Sindhi journalist from Hyderabad, Sindh, who had worked in the media for more than 45 years. He worked as editor of Hilal Pakistan of Karachi, Pakistan and Daily Aftab of Sindh. Also worked for the Sindhi Digest.
His editorials were so powerful on Sindh issues that people pasted them on their city walls. He was eulogized by his fellow professionals in the Hyderabad Press Club as a man of principles, who never compromised on them.
In addition to news editorials, he also wrote books, including translations of Greek mythologies. He delved into Science Fiction too, in Sindhi, writing Flaying carpet (Sindhi: اڏام کٽولو),and Army of ants (Sindhi: ماڪوڙن جي فوج).
Johar retired from active journalism a decade ago when Sindhi daily Aftab was closed down. He died June 2010 in Karachi.
