Training ground for dance and music is now the stomping ground for generations of girls
On International Women’s Day, the quadrangle of MAM Government Model Junior College is filled with students. Students having food, chatting on phone, sitting under the trees, some entering the college and others exiting.
According to historians, the college is located exactly at the site which was a training ground created by Urdu language’s first major woman poet: Mah Laqa Bai Chanda. While the maqbara (funerary pavilion) on the foothills of Maula Ali is well known, the garden and the mansion known as Khassa Rang Mahal have become part of folklore.
