UPMSP High School Sindhi study guide
UPMSP High School Sindhi · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The UPMSP High School Sindhi paper is the Sindhi language subject examination taken within the Uttar Pradesh Board's Class 10 (High School) programme. It is intended for students who have opted for Sindhi as a language subject in schools affiliated to the Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad, and it serves as one component of the wider High School certificate rather than a stand-alone qualification. The UPMSP High School Sindhi study guide has 7 sections and about 1,937 words.
01Prose (Gadya): Reading the Prescribed Sindhi Lessons for Marks
The Gadya section examines the prescribed Sindhi prose lessons: short stories (ڪهاڻي), essays (مضمون), travelogues (سفرنامه) and biographical sketches. Questions ask for the central idea, a character sketch with textual support, author–lesson matching, meanings of underlined words and idioms, and short cause-and-effect answers.
303 words, about 2 min02Poetry (Padya): Form, Refrain and Symbol in Sindhi Verse
Padya tests the prescribed Sindhi poems - بيت, ڏوهو, ڪافي, گيت and غزل - through questions on the central image, the poet, the refrain and the Sufi or folk symbolism behind the verse. You are expected to interpret, not merely translate.
289 words, about 1 min03Grammar and Language Usage (Vyakaran): Agreement, Postpositions, Ergative Past
Vyakaran tests script recognition, gender and number, postpositions, the genitive, verb agreement, tense forms, negation and question-making. Sindhi is written right-to-left in the Perso-Arabic script with 52 letters, and dots are phonemic - one dot changes the word.
295 words, about 1 min04Composition and Letter Writing (Rachna): Formats That Earn Format Marks
Rachna tests guided writing: an essay (مضمون), a letter (خط), an application (درخواست) and occasionally a paragraph or dialogue. Format carries separate marks, so structure is as important as language.
272 words, about 1 min05Reading Comprehension (Apathit Gadyansh): Unseen Sindhi Passages
Apathit Gadyansh gives an unseen Sindhi passage followed by vocabulary, direct, inferential and title questions. The passage is new, so method matters more than memorisation.
264 words, about 1 min06Sindhi Literature and Cultural Appreciation: Poets, Heroines, Forms
This section tests literary history and cultural literacy: poets, verse forms, the folk heroines and the markers of Sindhi identity that appear in the prescribed texts. Poets: Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai (1689–1752), composer of Shah Jo Risalo with its thirty surs; Sachal Sarmast (1739–1827), poet of haqiqat and Sufi ecstasy; Sami, known for moral and reflective verse.
257 words, about 1 min07Translation and Vocabulary (Anuvad aur Shabdavali): Word Order, Idiom, Gender
Anuvad tests sentence translation between Sindhi and Hindi/English, idiom equivalence and graded word lists. Accuracy of word order and agreement decides most of the marks.
