The Seven Queens of Sindh

These tragic romantic tales are Umar Marvi, Momal Rano, Sohni Mehar, Lilan Chanesar, Noori Jam Tamachi, Sassui Punhun and Sorath Rai Diyach.

Moomal's character portrays an image of a passionate soul, brimming with love for her beloved, Rano (راڻو) and suffers at the altar of separation and rejection but does not surrender.

Lilan loses her king (husband) Chanesar for an obscenely expensive necklace and undergoes travails of an unbearable separation to regain her status and character; while Sorath is a loving soul, full of passion and care about her beloved.

Thus, the story of each of these seven Heroic Women, little or more, in one or the other way, relates to the cultural milieu and substance of the evolutionary process of the people living in the regions of old India and current Pakistan.

Lubna Jehangir painted all seven queens of Shah Abdul Lateef and displayed them at the Ocean art gallery under guidance of Attiya Dawood.
