» biogardener - Valentine's tradition
I wonder how long Valentine's Day has been observed in Pakistan. When I grew up in Germany, we never heard about it, although people talk about it now, but it is certainly not as popular there as it is in North America.I did not hear about it until February of 1953 in Canada.

Valentines Day is not really “Observed” in Pakistan, but slowly people have become quite aware of the concept due to media and education. They know it is a day meant for love. There are still a lot of people in some parts of the cities who don’t know the concept of Valentines Day. However, since 7-8 years it has gained recognition, among the young people, in some of the major cities of Pakistan.-- posted by sanober_i
» biogardener - As expected
That is more or less what I expected. The same is true in continental Europe. The American traditions are introduced slowly to a generation which is traveling more and learning new concepts on the Internet.-- posted by biogardener

In response to who were omar marvi? posted by salj007:While filling water in her pots, Marvi, a beautiful girl from Tharparkar desert, is seen by Prince Umar who is instantly dazzled by her beauty and abducts her. He proposes to marry her and tries to win her over with jewels and gifts, but Marvi refuses as she is engaged to her cousin and deeply devoted to him. Angered by her refusal, Prince Umar imprisons her in his palace for a whole year, but Marvi remains faithful. Touched deeply by her dedication and piety, Umar sets her free.
