[edit] Location

How did the tomb of Sohni(the heroine of Sohni Mahiwal), end up in Southern Sindh, when the legend is from the Chenab area(gujrat town) and takes place on the caravan route between Delhi and Bukhara??? this is one of those cases from the sub-continent where everyone wants to claim to be connected to the story. The picture of Sohni's tomb is misleading as it has no connection to the legend of Sohni Mahiwal and should be removed. The legend has been written in many languages and Sindhi is one of them. But to disregard the location of the actual places connected with the legend is bizzare. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.126.199.122 (talk) 21:23, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Regarding the above, I just reverted the page which had removed all mention of where the story is actually set (i.e. Punjab) - however people do believe the tomb is in Sindh, that the bodies floated down the river Indus - so perhaps this merits inclusion. Pahari Sahib 03:58, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
