“Tharparkar: Pakistan’s Green Jewel in the Desert”
Tharparkar, also known as Thar, is a district in Pakistan’s Sindh province, with its main office in Mithi. Before India’s independence, it was called the Thar and Parkar or Eastern Sindh Frontier District. Tharparkar is the biggest district in Sindh and has the most Hindus in Pakistan.
The Tharparkar Desert in Pakistan is an odd place. It is not dry like most deserts. It has plants and water under the ground. It gets some rain from the monsoon season. That makes the desert able to grow food. The desert has lots of plants and animals that live there. People in the desert grow crops like wheat, millet, and beans. They learned how to farm in the desert over many years. Tharparkar is very special. It is the only desert in the world that is good for growing plants. The water under the ground and the rain make it fertile. This makes it an important place for nature.
