Lattu A traditional Game

Image
  Lattu pahar galy mein jaalii  In Pakistan and India, lattu, or spinning top, is used to play games. This is a traditional Pakistani and Indian game that used to be enjoyed and played by all children, but it is currently losing favor as other interests take precedence. This was once a popular game among children. It is still played in the inner colonies of Karachi, Peshawar, and Lahore, among other cities. For children in Pakistan, lattu is a way of life.

But unfortunately according to their rule one ledy can only take two men with her. Isn't it funny but anyways it's okay but the real question is! was that March really about women's rights?
