Literary career
Molai Sheedai was interested in study since his studentship and continued this habit even during services. He started writing in 1934 with an essay in a story form, “Mumtaz Mahal” which was appreciated by Molana Deen Mohammad Wafai. He published this essay in the monthly “Tauheed” for the first time with his pen name “Molai Shedai” because he could have lost his job if he used his real name. His work was published in many newspapers and magazines. After retirement, he entered the world of journalism. He worked in the “Azad” newspaper Karachi, “Mehran” and “Hilal-e-Pakistan” newspaper Hyderabad, Sindh. After retirement from journalism, he confined himself to his home and continued reading and writing as a pastime. His prose work is far better than his poetry. His written books on history are the fruit of his extraordinary labour.[3][4] He had a personal library consisting of 800 books only on history in English, Sindhi, Urdu and Persian languages.[5]
