Re: Chooriyan le lo !

You are mixing Noori with Marvi. Marvi (a girl from Thar) was abducted by King Umar Soomro (Umer Kot) and she refused all her worldly offers her the love of her land and Maaroo relatives.

I didn’t take any courses in history and literature.. Major part of my knowledge comes from informal reading and discussions with elders :slight_smile:
