Even after so many years people still enjoy reading about the tales of the 7 queens of Sindh, which are set in 1600s in the province of Sindh in Southeast Asia. These were all strong women of great abilities and good character,they were greatly admired by their lovers.Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai a local Sindhi Sufi Saint writes about them in his book 'Shah jo Risalo'. The 7 stories were about the 7 queens and their lovers ;Momal Rano,Umar Marvi,Sohni Mehar,Laila Chancer,Noori Jam Tamachi,Sassi Pannu and Sorah Rai Diyach.These women belong to local villages ,fishing tribes and towns .........all of them have been painted as women of great character and intellect.Even though most of the stories have a tragic ending but all of these women were greatly loved and admired by their families,friends and their lovers.Shah Bhittai is called the 'Rumi' of Sindh he has always called these ladies 'Queens' ............how poor village ladies can reach the status of a queen by portraying positive qualities of ........honesty,loyalty and bravery.
