Amrita Shergil’s Lahore
Khalid Hasan writing for the Friday Times:
“Amrita Sher-Gil is one with the earth of Lahore. Is there no one in this city that she chose as home to build a memorial to her, or at least put a plaque at 23 Sir Ganga Ram Mansion in remembrance of a painter who has left her mark on the world in which she was not destined to live very long?”

I have read with great interest the story and history on Amitra Shergil. I have taken a look also at her great works of art and must confess that I knew nothing about this great talented young woman until today. I am ashamed, and proud at the same time, to say that my family lived at 23 Sir Ganga Ram Mansion from about 1948 to 1956. My Father worked for Burmah Shell. I have many fond memories of my childhood in Lahore and now I am thrilled at the prospect of having our residence in Lahore honoured in memory of Amitra SherGil
