This is a very common level of racism common to our muhajir households. Its not just sad but disgusting. When the various ethnic groups can't work together let alone marry their daughters to another ethnic groups its pretty obvious where the problem lies. We could not eliminate our ethnic divisions to this day. Recently I was talking about Punjabis in the Indian army. 15-16% while making less than 2% of India's population. The Indians don't care. The only place where Lucknowi brethren have a problem is in the religious sense. They have no ethnic identity there though, nor do they need it, though they could call themselves, Awadhites, Malwites and Mewarites.

Compare this to living residents of Pakistan. Always questioning why punjabis are the majority in the army. We lost Bengal only because of our foolishness and our ethnic squabling. Again urdu speakers played a pivotal role by imposing urdu on Bengalis.

Nice share @ghazi52. You always share very good threads here.

We the young generation can act as a bridge between ethnicities. I want to marry outside my ethnic group. Inter ethnic marriages form a bond not only between lovers families and generations but also between various groups in society, various ethnicities.

Karachi won't be Karachi without the sea


Karachi is Pakistan’s largest and most populated metropolis. It is also the country’s busiest trading post and a highly pluralistic city. But the crime rates here have been the highest in the country; and its politics have been complex and fractious, mostly due to the economic and political tensions between the various ethnic groups which reside here.

Karachi has a long coastline along the Arabian Sea. It was here that small fishing villages first sprang up more than 2000 years ago. Some of them are mentioned by Greek commander, Nearchus, whose forces arrived here in 325 BC.

These villages began to expand from the 18th century onward, until the area became an economic hub and a multicultural conurbation under the British. The city grew even more briskly after it became part of Pakistan in 1947.

Let’s explore Karachi’s coastline as it stands today – thousands of years after it was first dotted by obscure fishing villages.

Clifton
Clifton is a sprawling area in Karachi which is also one of the closest to the sea. It is a popular residential, commercial and recreational locality. It is also Karachi’s most expensive zone.

Clifton was largely barren till it began being developed in the late 19th century by British colonialists who build houses here. The houses were only used as temporary breakaway pads by British families who mainly lived in the more developed areas of Karachi. This was mainly due to the fact that there was no running water available in Clifton and hardly any roads.

In the early 20th century, wealthy Zoroastrian families began to build permanent houses here. They were followed by rich Muslim and Hindu families. A bridge (Clifton Bridge) was constructed to directly connect the area with the city centre.

Till even the 1960s, Clifton was a largely desolate area with only a few hundred houses owned by rich families. However, from the late-1970s onward, Clifton began to emerge as a busy commercial and recreational hub.

Today it is one of Karachi’s most attractive and busy localities with large apartment blocks, multiplexes, malls, schools, colleges, bungalows, parks and restaurants.

A growth in population and commercial activity in Clifton has also triggered the emergence of some ‘low-income’ areas, mainly populated by men and women who work as house helps in bungalows, apartments, restaurants and shops in the area.

Clifton, 1905. The quiet area by the sea.

Clifton today: A busy commercial, recreational and residential hub.

The Khotari Parade, 1922. It was constructed on the shores of the Clifton Beach on land granted by a rich Hindu businessman. The structure and walking path were built on a hill a few meters from the sea.

The Khotari Parade today (behind which now lies the massive Qasim Park). Till even the 1950s, much of the land on which the park was laid (in the mid-2000s) was submerged under sea water.

Shrine of ancient Sufi saint, Abdullah Shah Ghazi, in 1947. It was built in the 13th century on a sandy hill beside the sea in the area which became to be known as New Clifton.

The Abdullah Shah Ghazi shrine today. The Sufi saint is also known as the patron saint of Karachi.


57ffb1e3961a9.jpg

Frere Road in 1902. It leads to Clifton which (as can be seen in the horizon) was largely barren. In the 1930s, a bridge (Clifton Bridge) was built to connect the city centre with Clifton.


57ffb2404c4e0.jpg

The Clifton Bridge in 2014. The bridge was built in the 1930s to connect Clifton with the rest of Karachi. Till the late 1950s, high tide in the Arabian Sea used to submerge the landing of the bridge, marooning the area’s residents for hours.

U should thank me that I thanked your above quoted post despite your well oiled/fired Punjabi Chavinusim in that post :D ...This is how we Karachiites react. This is example of decent, mannered, well established, educated, intelligent, humorous, kind hearted and fun loving people ever born on face off earth/Pakistan....Bow down in front of Karachiites as matter of respect. We are your BOSS......:azn:

Karachi chalta hai tou Pakistan chalta hai. Karachi hamari aan hai hamara fakhar hai hamara jigar hai, hamara taqat hai....Karachi hai tou zinfdagi hai...Jab aap karachi me hotey hain to apko zindagi ka ahsas hota hai...apko azaadi ka ahsas hota hai...Ek kabhi na khatam honey wala sheher...Mera Karachi, yahan ke mehnat karney waley log, my people...**** yeah,....I M KARACHIITE AND I M DAMN PROUD OF IT....NO ONE CAN EVEN THINK ABOUT COMPARING KARACHI WITH LAHORE.....WE GOT HUMAN RESOURCE/BRAIN WHICH LAHORE SERIOUSLY LACKS :p:

Lahoris can never compete with Karachiites....:p:

Karachi is Pakistan and Pakistan is Karachi. Lahoris get jealous from status of Karachi people and our business mind/efficiency...Thats true...:D

Lahoris only know how to eat and enjoy...On the other hand, Karachiites are all rounder, excel from A to Z :)

*COUGH COUGH* :)

So, the taste of Karachi Food is lajawab like Bihari Boti, Biryani, Qorma etc that are very rare to find in rest of Pakistan.

By the way, it is the same Karachi that people though to come here to see the lights and buildings with an aw impression.

However, koi baat nahi ek samandar he kafi ha ji.... BTW, yaad dila diya so aj kal ma visit karna parhay ga.


Wo suna to ho ga k

kah rahā hai shor-e-dariyā se samundar kā sukūt
jis kā jitnā zarf hai utnā hī vo ḳhāmosh hai
