Question - 209

What two word phrase connects the three visuals? (The logos in the middle together constitute one visual).

Answer: The "seven sisters". The visuals are the Pleiades (seven sisters in Greek mythology, also a star cluster with seven bright stars), the seven erstwhile big oil companies (some have merged together now) and the seven northeastern Indian states which are given this nickname due to their geographic and cultural similarities. Another famous "seven sisters" which I couldn't find a way to pictorially depict is the group of seven historically women's liberal arts colleges - Barnard, Bryn Mawr, Holyoke, Radcliffe, Smith, Vassar and Wellesley. Rajeev, Adithya, An0n, Shweta, Johnny Walker, Mekie, Raghu, Keshav, Rajesh K, Srivats, Vetti, Iam, Hirak, Swapnaa, Rajesh and an Anon got it. Well done.

The Seven Sisters - Pleiades the daughters of Atlas (Greek Myth); Seven sisters in the oil industry; The seven sister states in the NE India. The Pak occupied Kashmir and Chinese admined parts of J&K highlighted in the last visual is not of any significance.
