Melancholic and yet brought back some wonderful memories. I grew up in Pakistan and spent 1973-1983 in Karachi. It was a vibrant city. I have lived in the U.S since 1983 and I went back after an almost 30 year hiatus and was shocked to see what has happened to that country! I felt like a foreigner who could understand and speak the language yet did not really belong in that milieu. "Arabization" has taken a serious toll of Pakistan, sadly.
Might want to compare the population difference of the country between the time you lived there and what it is now. Overpopulation has ruined Pakistan.
@@نادرالیراحمان Yes you are absolutely correct. Overpopulation has indeed been the ruin of the country. A country slightly bigger than the state of Texas has 220 million and the whole of the US has about 350 million people.
@@نادرالیراحمان also religious extremism there are other Muslim countries like Turkey and Indonesia and Malaysia who are very devloped and Beutifull not taking the Arab culture
@@pipipupu5104 there is unnecessary terrorism that Pakistan has got involved into, that is why our image is tarnished in the world, otherwise there is nothing exceptionally strict in Pakistani law. The law is same as back then. We even still do not follow Sharia law, which is bad because this country came into existence on foundation of Islam.
Lots of memories from karachi. Once karachi was top 10 Beautiful cities of the world but now our politicians made him worst, corruption every where U cant imagine how much.

Hi, Bombay of India was also on the same lines like Karachi. This city was admired by Jawaharlal Nehru. Inspite of Delhi becoming the capital Bombay grew whereas Karachi has degraded.
May be only ten to 20 percent of Karachites now have roots from 60/70s. Rest of the population are new comers and have no sense of owning or belonging to Karach. These pictures are more like a European city touch. Having traveled to half of the world and growing in Karachi in Mir Taqi mir’s word “ Karachi which was a chosen city of the world “It was a magnet for talent from all over subcontinent and beyond. From 50s to 80s there developed a unique talented community which excelled in every field. Karachi could have developed much more than Dubai if it was allowed. Karachi was intentionally destroyed by Federal government/ Punjab and turned into worlds biggest “Goth” slums of the world by Pakistan people’s party. They didn’t realize then by destroying Karachi they destroyed Pakistan.!!!
I was born in Lahore end of 1946, lived in Karachi since 1947 except for stints abroad about 10 years. The 1950s, 60s and early 70s were great. Karachi was a multi cultural city of many religious faith. We all lived, mixed and celebrated together. I grew up visiting many places in this film. Its not Arabisation. From just after mid 1970s, Karachi suffered ethnic and sectarian strife and gun culture. The population explosion and large amounts of money made from various ventures led to the property boom. Beautiful carved gizri stone buildings were demolished and replaced with cement eyesore. Corruption everywhere. No sense of history, tradition, heritage. It's a scrambled egg. Small world, @Ranjittyagi9354. Admiral Choudri was married to my Dad's first cousin Rafia.
Why are Pakistani destroying thier old architecture It’s bad enough they have not retained artisanal building techniques No vision from any leadership It’s disgusting and sad Also unplanned migration in the post partition era from poor Utter Pradesh caused social issues
During the 23 years when East Pakistan (Bangladesh) was part of Pakistan, 70% of the budget money was allocated towards the development of West Pakistan, which had only 45% of the total Pakistani population. The West Pakistani politicians would famously say that the development and defense of East Pakistan lie in West Pakistan. So, yes, the growth and economic development of West Pakistan (Pakistan) was at the expense of East Pakistan (Bangladesh). In fact, when East Pakistan was separated from West Pakistan, the average West Pakistanis were 72% richer than the average East Pakistanis (Bangladeshis). Moreover, during the war, the West Pakistanis not only destroyed most of Bangladesh and committed genocide, mass rape, and killed the brightest sons of Bangladesh, but they also took all the assets, including embassies, military hardware, forex reserves, and more. When you hear from Pakistani politicians about how great Pakistan's economy was during the 1960s, they don't tell you about the economic exploitation that took place in East Pakistan to fuel their economic growth. Now, in 2023, Pakistan doesn't have a country to exploit anymore or anybody to provide them with any more free money. So, you see them going around the world with their begging bowls.

U r very right. Karachi has suffered the greed and hatred of the elite ruling class of Pakistan.

British roll time was good for their peoples
Sometimes I think Pakistan was perhaps better off under british 😏😪
@optimusprime2498 Exactly why we would've been better off under British rule. Pakistanis back home are incompetent
Governance of karachi, especially sadar town shouldve been under the British who by now wouldve transformed sadar into a modern city
Western vibe
Karachi kia tha kia kar dia Karachi ko.
I want to see old north nazimabad and nazimabad and fb area and FC area
