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.[1][2] He worked as editor of Hilal Pakistan of Karachi, Pakistan and Daily Aftab of Sindh.[1] Also worked for the Sindhi Digest.[3]
His editorials were so powerful on Sindh issues that people pasted them on their city walls.[1] He was eulogized by his fellow professionals in the Hyderabad Press Club as a man of principles, who never compromised on them.[1]
In addition to news editorials, he also wrote books, including translations of Greek mythologies.[1] 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.[1] He died June 2010 in Karachi.[1]
