I tried to post the Girl here but failed.

I saw the Dancing Girl at National Museum at New Dehli.It's amazing how Indus people mastered the art of metullergy in those days!

The girl cud be an imagination of a sculptor or she's a genuine entertainer-girl in those days. The sense of fashion is very myuch evident in the icon.

1. hair-style
2. amulet with beads or seashells
3. bangles although assymmetric are in abundance
4. mammalian glands are not fully developed....must be a teenage girl.

The Harappan people must be very very liberal to allow such show of skin.

Great read. Hope to read more of your writing at Chowk.

I too wish that the dancing girl would dance back and relieve us from the mysogynists. I'd move right back to Baluchistan. What a beautiful thought...

I almost bypassed this article because of the low level of interacts. I am glad I read it. It was very enjoyable; you have a nice easy writing style which is good for travelogies and memoirs.

Great writing job here Saqib Mausoof Sahib.

It is about time that we saw some of your work here on

CHOWK. I especially liked the closing.

How is the "Kala Pul" project going?
