His editorials were so powerful on Sindh issues that people pasted them on their city walls. He was eulogized by his fellow professionals in the Hyderabad Press Club as a man of principles, who never compromised on them.
In addition to news editorials, he also wrote books, including translations of Greek mythologies. He delved into Science Fiction too, in Sindhi, writing Flying carpet (Sindhi: اڏام کٽولو), Army of ants (Sindhi: ماڪوڙن جي فوج) and Rampant Holidays (Sindhi: اڏامندڙ ٿالهيون).
Johar retired from active journalism a decade ago when Sindhi daily Aftab was closed down. He died June 2010 in Karachi.
