Abdul Wahid Arisar (Sindhi: عبد الواحد آريسر) (11 October 1949 – 3 May 2015) was a notable scholar, writer, researcher and Sindhi politician who was one of the heads of the Jeay Sindh Qaumi Mahaz (JSQM), a political party in Sindh. It was reported that there were significant "differences" between Arisar and the head of another faction in the JSQM, Bashir Qureshi. Arisar had previously been chairman of the party in the 1990s. Arisar was a student in a Madrasa near his village when his teacher gave him a book of G. M. Syed "Maujooda Siyasi soorat e Haal" Arisar was impressed by GM Syed's writing and started paying attention towards politics and mysticism (Sufism) rather than going to madrasa. Arisar's image in Sindhi youth is that of an intellectual and as one of the most respected personalities ever lived in Sindh. Arisar translated the novel of Frantz Fanon, "The Wretched of the Earth"in Sindhi, "Mitti hara marho" which became one of his popular works.
