Scientists say that it is approximately 3.5-5 billion years ago from now.Karoonjahar is not a granite stone for us. But, it is also our national heritage. Most of the Sindhi researchers claim that in the Himalayas ranges, it is the oldest mountain after several years ago. There was a great tsunami occurred there. In Saar Daro , located there, there is a holy place for Hindus and Hindus have performed their norms etc. If someone harms it one day, the mountain itself will take revenge. Jains lived there until 1226. The desert of the Thar was a big sea. The desert was a seaport and people said that there was a business hub for Jains at that time. The barter system was inaugurated (to exchange things) after the earthquake. The geography of the business hills has changed in the hills. Jains were migrated to India. A person named Rooplo Kolhi ‘s people called his hero. He fought against the British army. Karoonjhar is like a gift for us given by martyr Rooplo Kolhi’s.
