This is pure nostalgia. Boarding a Roman Catholic Convent during my early school days a tableau staged by us class fellows with a theme based upon a song sung by Musarrat Nazir, the most famous heroine on Pakistan film industry. She was married to a doctor Nazir who inherited two cinema halls and was already a well known business tycoon from Sialkot. We changed the lyrics but tune was still identifiable.
I think this happened when Ayub Khan just got hold on to power as president of West Pakistan and soon after this the Queen of England and her eldest in tow came to visit Pakistan were dutifully familiarized with local Christian missionary strongholds known as convents. I shook hands with him as all children were told ,with the queen and her son who was of the same age and height as we were.
None the less, through Ayub Khan, Urdu and Islamiyat were made to be compulsory subjects in all of the Christian missionary institutions...anyhow Musarrat was the queen in those days and ‘Yahoodi ki Beti’ was on, in local cinemas…
