    Default Women in ancient Pakistani folklore



    https://topyaps.com/seven-queens-sin...latif-bhittai/

    Since ages immemorial, women have been put forth only in terms of their acceptance of the society as it is and being the patrons of the patriarchal culture. However, a few pieces from literature inspire us to think otherwise; and, one such piece of literature is The Seven Queens of Sindh by the famous Sindhi Sufi poet Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai. In this poem, he talks of seven queens who were valued as much for their poetry as their rejection of the conventional patriarchal scheme of life and choosing freedom and love over everything else. Let’s us have a look at these seven princesses who were glorified by Shah Latif.

    Many Pakistanis wear 'Hindu' clothing. It isn't confined to religion.





    Pakistani Fatima Bhutto wearing a bindi. A bindi should not be confused with a tilak (a Hindu sectarian marking on the forehead).
