Am from India and a Parsi. The video was one of a kind. It wld remain a dream to see a Parsi colony in Pakistan if it wasn't for you. Yes you were true to every word that spiritualism has to be from inside and not just a show off. If you wanna achieve spiritual destination than just follow 3 things.....viz. good words, good thoughts and good deeds. Accha bolo, accha socho aur acche karm Karo. Thank you once again for this video. Really appreciated your efforts. God Bless
@honourableadvocate3499 No. You have to be born into a Parsi family. In some modern communities, they are starting to allow mixed marriages and accepting children into the faith as long as one parent is Parsi.
Very well spoken, thank you, I am a zorastrian, lived in this Parsi colony ,I am now in Canada. You spoke so highly of us. You too are a very learned person. I am a proud Pakistani, when we were growing up there, we were respected, I still love Pakistan & I Peay that Imran Khan comes back to power & bring our country up. I am now almost 76 years old. I have seen it all,I left Pakistan in 1971, my last visit was in 2003, I was sad & shocked to see what has happened to our beautiful country. There is still hope, I wish to Allah for help. One day soon together we can change it. GL to all Pakistan Zindabad.,
You are very welcome, this world needs people like you, Good job, keep it up. GB you & your family. By the way none of the houses are haunted, in my opinion there is no such thing, people made this up. It was a beautiful place , most of us are here in Canada, we are still in touch with those who are not here. We were so few, we know almost everyone, 😃 Have a great life. Amen!
I am an Indian . U r absolutely right that few people are brainwashing us and stop us progressing. I was moved when I saw ur video that few parsis are residing in Karachi. I pray that others return to their country and help in progressing it..
Hii. I am a Parsi from India .. I would have never seen pakistan or known of what happened to this place without you.. Thank you for doing this brilliant video, this was absolutely amazing..!!! Your thoughts and views about the parsis truly touched my heart. Thank you for giving us so much love and respect ❤ the colony looks so clean... Praying for things to get better for the Pakistanis(like you) Your education, knowledge and clarity in thought brings hope that there is a chance for change and that not everyone is believing what is fed to them by the ones in power. Kudos to your intelligence. You made an Excellent, Informative Video ! Lots of love and more power to you!!!🎉

I'm an Indian Parsi All I can say is thank you! Thank you for doing this and enlightening us about the Parsis and its wonderful heritage in Karachi, Pakistan. I personally know a lot of Parsis who have lived in Karachi and then moved to India for various reasons. More power to you and keep up the stellar work. Looking forward to more such videos. God bless!
Awesome video -- I am a Parsi from Mumbai,India--- and I must say this video was not only really impressive but an eye opener too.Thank you for this amazing video --- will be sharing it with family and friends.
I am a parsi very nice knowledge, shocked to know that a Muslim knows so much about our religion ! Proud to be a Mazdayasnazarathushthri !! Will definitely subscribe !! Love from Iran/India
I was a student of Mama Parsi School. I am very proud to get my education from that institution, as it was outstanding from every perspective. I have seen Parsi colony in my school days, as my teachers were parsis and lived there. These people are very respectful and generous. Groomed to the highest interms of education and personality. I miss my parsi friends,teachers and my very best school. Nowadays, there is nothing like it of any sort. Thank u for making this video and rekindling the dying light of those golden times.
Parsi community should start renovation soon. I respect Parsi community for their good deeds and good thinking in life. This housing area is just one of thousands of Parsi community precious places around Karachi. Until a couple of decades, this community was active in the administration of Karachi. Their quarters were only crime free & bright regions of Karachi those days, eg, Victoria Road, Metropole, Elphinstone Street, Clinton Road, BVS, Mama Parsi, etc are only a few of them. Conspiracy against Parsi community is one of several conspiracies that deprived Pakistan from modernization, advancement and infrastructure development. Pakistan will never prosper without good deeds and good thinking in our life.
My father has done his entire schooling at BVS, and many of his dearest friends are Parsis. It been his privilege to spend a lifetime with them and his Principal Mrs. Mistry has been of the key influences in his life ❤
It is too heartbreaking💔 to see how a once beautiful and historical place has now turned into ruins. Most of the houses are huge and yes, some of them do reminds of colonial era. There is one Parsi colony in Quetta too.. It is in better condition compared to this one. You did a wonderful job of capturing the true essence of the time gone by and how its cruel hands destroyed a place which once was beautiful 😢
A wonderful video. Always wanted to know what happened to the Parsis in Pakistan. You are right wherever there is a Parsi colony or Parsis there will always be peace and tranquility in and around that area. Good Thoughts Good Words Good Deeds.
I have lived in Karachi and familiar with this area. Parsis are very nice and well educated people in Karachi. They are also very active in Charity. Unfortunately many of them left Karachi in 80s and then many mafias became strong in karachi. We all know who they are. Very sad story of Pakistan.
I am from Pakistan I am Muslim but I love All parsi's because parsis are very mercey full persons. And so dashings personalities. Mjhe ziyada English tw nhi aati but tooti phooti likh di wese bht achey insaan hotey he parsi aur rehamdil insaan bhi hotey he bht hee achi soch k Malik hotey he Kisi ka bura nhi sochtey bht hee peacefull hotey he. I am so impressed and I love ❤ all parsi. I am from Karachi
I've seen Zoroastrians strolling on the streets of Elfinston street (zaibunnisa) in my early childhood. Saddar was a posh area, very neat and clean, book shops, tea houses and very iconic Tram service. Parsis are the great contributors towards the heritage of karachi building schools, colleges n hospitals. They were extremely progressive, non violent and friendly souls. We've destroyed our city, our people and our culture. If they had to migrate to Canada than we've only ourselves to blame
Many videos have been made about this beautiful place i.e. Parsi Colony and I tell you guys that despite watching all those, I still watched this one and enjoyed it! I often visit this place to refresh my mind and my wife and elder son love it too... Those beautiful old houses with small walls and the British Raj style(d) architecture are the actual heritage of Karachi. It's sad to see that this place is almost (completely) deserted now - with a few houses being exception! However, there's another Parsi Colony, which is located in DHA Phase I, Karachi, PK - however, that place was built much later i.e. in the 60s; I reckon but it can no way be of any comparison to the real Parsi Colony ❤ Most of the old city area (as it's now known - referred to the actual Karachi of the British India) is in more or less the same condition... Sad to see the real Karachi dying like this! Good work though - thanks Zyad.
I used to work in a bank that was very close to the Karachi Parsi colony. I used to meet daily with many Parsi men and women. They were soft-spoken and had good manners. Mostly, they spoke English because their Urdu was not very good. Ah, I miss Karachi big time!!

TCU for this wonderful video, though sad to see the broken houses .n imagine their state.also nice to see some bungalows which r still in tact n Parsis still living in it or sold.thnku once again.
Hi Zyad, Thank you so much. You took a video of Parsi Colony where I grew up. The state the colony is in now is quite sad. We left in 1995. It was an amazing place to grow up. I have fond memories of growing up in an oasis surrounded by the hustle & bustle that is Karachi. I remember having full reign of the colony. It was safe, clean & was home for us. I learnt to ride my bike& later my car in those streets. Your video of my home still incited deep memories of my childhood. Thanks a lot. I remember playing many volleyball games in the park you videoed. It is sad to see no one around; but it is also impressive how these homes have stood the test of time. My great great grandfather made our home in 1928 (if i remember reading & remembering the marble plaque correctly) & it still stands today. Thanks & best of luck in your endeavors.
Zyad Bhai salaam from hindustan. Nice video. All the things you said about Parsis were correct. In the last part of your video you should never let go of spirituality. It is very true I too believe in it. I just wanted to inform Parsis very spiritual and they respect all religions but they never show off in public how spiritual they are openly. They have helped so many people in India too. I respect Parsis for their value system. They are rich but they are also the biggest philanthropists in South Asia. They help many people in India too. Some of the great institutions were built by Parsis in India.
ziyad ji agar Paris log Pakistan mey Musalman zyda population hota toh Pakistan aaj bhikhari nehi hota na katora lekar IMF or WB ka darwaz pey khada hona padta. similarly India mey agar Parsi community ka population 25 corod hota Mulmsan badle India ab tak America se age nikal chuka hota.
@@zyadhakaofficialchest u join the parsun community with it family, it will increase the number, then few more will join u n u will become wealthy, Indonesia,saudi arabia,use,qatar,kuwait, Malaysia, Qatar and many other countries they r rich Muslim countries, religion or sect has nothing to do with prosperity and happiness, governments n people can make a rich or poor society, unfortunately we never had leaders who thought about common people's education health n jobs,they did everything for themselves n elite,as did the public they only sing n cry in hotels dhaaba chowks n at home, once the public walks on the right path we'll get what we want, we r happy poor muslims rather being paisa wala parsi or something else, it video is non educational n useless
I an frm India - Kolkata I want to thank u 4 showing such a beautiful colony which otherwise cdnt see frm India- learned abt Parsis frm the Indian movie Pestonji acted by Nasiruddin Shah
I am from Karachi love to see a parsi colony where construction is unmatchable ,and these were founder of this great city which provides opportunities to everyone one but no one acknowledge it .The way u spread nice hereafter thoights paying asrvin tome won my heart . JazakAllah.inshaAllah best for u in aakhirah .😊
Thank u very much zyad Bhai once I visited parsi colony .I knew it is a historical background but now I received great information through u keep it up
● mr: Zyad Haka Sir for Your GK (general knowledge) the Wadia Family made many Hospitals in Mumbai Maharashtra in the 1736 & contributed to many institutions for their Own Benefits + for the Public ! good to see My Grandparents House after such a long period almost 8 decades ! 🙏🇮🇳🙏
At 4 minutes into the video, i recall this house was the most interesting architecture, one of first buildings at start of Parsi colony from Quaid Mazaar side. The boundary wall was very close to the building so it was difficult to photograph from the road. (i used to photograph old buildings from the street.) The Parsi community have made a very significant contribution to the development of Karachi . Community help is very much a part of their beliefs, they have made many dispensaries, parks, scools and colleges etc. A lot of social work is done by them without any publicity. I had Parsi classmates, and over 50 years after school, at age 76+ i am happy to say we are still good friends.
You have shown the door to the QABZA GROUP of the country. The Parsi Community should take some action for the revival & renovation of this heritage and be made inaccessible to grabbers. Karachi needs it's old identities, which is turning into a concrete and Kachra Kundi City.
Loved this video. ❤ As a parsi who grew up here, thank you for such a wonderful tribute. Aapne hamara purana ghar bhi dekhaya. ❤ Yeh colony itni safe aur lively hoti thi. Lekin ab sab khali aur tutay huay gharoo ko dekh kar afsos hota hai. Karachi agar parsi aur dosray minorities ke liyeh safe hota, toh hum sab apni haveli chor ke ni nikaltey. Aur yeh colony abhi tak lively hoti. Ab yeh ghost town ban gaya hai. Most of us have left karachi due to safety reasons, discrimination, and lack of opportunities for minorities in Pakistan. And those of us left in Karachi prefer other gated parsi communities that are safer than this beautiful, open colony where the streets were open to anyone and so many home invasions and burglaries have occurred. So many strike processions with people firing weapons have also gone through these streets. I remember being locked indoors with windows bolted shut whenever there was a strike. We dared not step out of our homes during a "juloos." It was not safe for us.
As I mentioned earlier, I lived in that Parsi colony, all theses houses were built by Parsis, the land was bought by Parsis, few of my reoations built them, they all have passed on, but some are still living, some houses were built to help those who couldn't afford build their own. It was strictly for Parsis only. Now others have moved in them, as they were left empty, they have moved abroad and are not interested in returning or occupying their properties. Not a single bunglow belonged to Hindus or any others. I will always cherish the beautiful memories I made there. I miss Pakistan.
@@bloodyclashers4410 All my life we all were together, Hidus, Christians, Parsis etc. Even today many of my friends are Hindus, there never was any bad feelings between anyone. We all grew up together with love & respect for eachother. What happened 75 years ago, none of us were responsible for that, people did what they did, can't blame any side. Very sad, but let's hope everyone lives in harmony, with love & respect for all. God has made all of us equal. In my opinion all religions teach the same. There is only one God.
dost bohot achi video banai h apny parsi gharon ki dekh kr herat yun hui k mera tallook bhi karachi se h lekin aaj tak ye area nh dekha mene.zbardast construction hai angraiz dour ki dekh kr acha laga bohot.
Very nice video bhayya...keep up the good work...theres so m7ch about our own country n its cities that is still unknown....thank you again...may Allah tala keep you safe n healthy
Thank you. For showing the houses of the Parsis of Karachi. I am an Indian and am very proud of our noble race. We call ourselves Parsi Zoroastrians. "Parsi" because we come from a place called Pars in Persia and Zoroastrian is our religion. Our population maybe a drop in the ocean, but we enrich / empower / contribute with largesse to every section of society in INDIA. Thank You Indeed.
@@zyadhakaofficial acha Bhai Parsiyon k bare mn 1baat aur batao k Iran se Aaye huye bohat Saray Parsi Baha'i Mazhab mn convert ho gaye aur Baha'i Hall ki Emaarat Grumandar pe Daily Business Recorder bank (Jo Kai Saal pehly jal.gaya tha) k peechay hai.
To me Parsis are the most kind hearted & soft natured people. This got completely shattered after working in a Parsis company in Mumbai. The filth, abuses hurled to the poor people working here, even the sincere & noble parsi community may not tolerate. It shows Might ight is right is the basic principle.

Masha Allah brother i am very delighted to seen u perform Namaz salath while filming the historic place. myself karachian bihari raised here in karachi but doing job since decades in Dubai. my feild was Property advisor so i meet alot sindhi hindo and few memon and parsi in Dubai. all belongs to karachi. sab ek hi baat boltey hain. khalimakhloq kicked them from karachi. well fatimah jinnah was house arrested almost 7 years never given chanced for election. bitter but truth history. thanks
my graduation is of 1979 from BVS, moved to US and here I have a good friend Farhad Sheesh Brothren, and i still keep a tap on another good friend Rony Patel who is well known for taking part in Car rallies taking place in PAKISTAN. At that time and age of PAKISTAN AND KARACHI will keep me reminiscing and deep inside I hurt when I see how it is being brought to it's end. It is not only Parsi's who have left but a whole lot of us have left never to come back. Tragic but true. The worst part is when ever I visit and move around, I have to arm myself (which I never did 15 years back or so) but it has become a necessity. Sorry to say but we have lost and we will live in agony till our last breath. Just give a little portion of Sind to the graduates of Mama and BVS, trust me...we can do miracles for the revival of Karachi

There are few videos of parsi of Karachi
Can a person convert to parsi?
Welcome❤
@honourableadvocate3499 No. You have to be born into a Parsi family. In some modern communities, they are starting to allow mixed marriages and accepting children into the faith as long as one parent is Parsi.

I am very sad to hear that the Parsi residents abandoned this peaceful affluent place. I used to walk into those streets in my teens.
Parsi community should start renovation soon. I respect Parsi community for their good deeds and good thinking in life.

It is very true I too believe in it. I just wanted to inform Parsis very spiritual and they respect all religions but they never show off in public how spiritual they are openly. They have helped so many people in India too. I respect Parsis for their value system. They are rich but they are also the biggest philanthropists in South Asia. They help many people in India too. Some of the great institutions were built by Parsis in India.
Wsalam! Wow didn't know that. Thanks for the input!♥️🙏
ziyad ji agar Paris log Pakistan mey Musalman zyda population hota toh Pakistan aaj bhikhari nehi hota na katora lekar IMF or WB ka darwaz pey khada hona padta. similarly India mey agar Parsi community ka population 25 corod hota Mulmsan badle India ab tak America se age nikal chuka hota.

@@zyadhakaofficialchest u join the parsun community with it family, it will increase the number, then few more will join u n u will become wealthy, Indonesia,saudi arabia,use,qatar,kuwait, Malaysia, Qatar and many other countries they r rich Muslim countries, religion or sect has nothing to do with prosperity and happiness, governments n people can make a rich or poor society, unfortunately we never had leaders who thought about common people's education health n jobs,they did everything for themselves n elite,as did the public they only sing n cry in hotels dhaaba chowks n at home, once the public walks on the right path we'll get what we want, we r happy poor muslims rather being paisa wala parsi or something else, it video is non educational n useless
I an frm India - Kolkata I want to thank u 4 showing such a beautiful colony which otherwise cdnt see frm India- learned abt Parsis frm the Indian movie Pestonji acted by Nasiruddin Shah

Hi, new vlog released. Feel free to share your thoughts. th-cam.com/video/4XxesVQVH4I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hXKH0yiruUhy3qEn
Great video Zyad bhai. Spent a lot of time in this colony as a child. Great memories.
At 4 minutes into the video, i recall this house was the most interesting architecture, one of first buildings at start of Parsi colony from Quaid Mazaar side. The boundary wall was very close to the building so it was difficult to photograph from the road. (i used to photograph old buildings from the street.)
The Parsi community have made a very significant contribution to the development of Karachi . Community help is very much a part of their beliefs, they have made many dispensaries, parks, scools and colleges etc. A lot of social work is done by them without any publicity.
I had Parsi classmates, and over 50 years after school, at age 76+ i am happy to say we are still good friends.
Thanks Zyad for your efforts and time.will get all the houses renovated by Shapoorji Pallonji and Rustomjee Builders
Glad to hear that sir!
You have shown the door to the QABZA GROUP of the country. The Parsi Community should take some action for the revival & renovation of this heritage and be made inaccessible to grabbers. Karachi needs it's old identities, which is turning into a concrete and Kachra Kundi City.
Loved this video. ❤ As a parsi who grew up here, thank you for such a wonderful tribute. Aapne hamara purana ghar bhi dekhaya. ❤ Yeh colony itni safe aur lively hoti thi. Lekin ab sab khali aur tutay huay gharoo ko dekh kar afsos hota hai. Karachi agar parsi aur dosray minorities ke liyeh safe hota, toh hum sab apni haveli chor ke ni nikaltey. Aur yeh colony abhi tak lively hoti. Ab yeh ghost town ban gaya hai. Most of us have left karachi due to safety reasons, discrimination, and lack of opportunities for minorities in Pakistan. And those of us left in Karachi prefer other gated parsi communities that are safer than this beautiful, open colony where the streets were open to anyone and so many home invasions and burglaries have occurred. So many strike processions with people firing weapons have also gone through these streets. I remember being locked indoors with windows bolted shut whenever there was a strike. We dared not step out of our homes during a "juloos." It was not safe for us.
Yes. I know. We are a pretty sad case as a nation. Particularly after Zia ul Haq.💔
Glad you liked the video.❤
As I mentioned earlier, I lived in that Parsi colony, all theses houses were built by Parsis, the land was bought by Parsis, few of my reoations built them, they all have passed on, but some are still living, some houses were built to help those who couldn't afford build their own.
It was strictly for Parsis only. Now others have moved in them, as they were left empty, they have moved abroad and are not interested in returning or occupying their properties. Not a single bunglow belonged to Hindus or any others.
I will always cherish the beautiful memories I made there. I miss Pakistan.
Why so much of resentment for Hindus brother? Hindus also had bunglows in Karachi, we had hospitals and schools too!🤷🏻
@@bloodyclashers4410 All my life we all were together, Hidus, Christians, Parsis etc.
Even today many of my friends are Hindus, there never was any bad feelings between anyone. We all grew up together with love & respect for eachother. What happened 75 years ago, none of us were responsible for that, people did what they did, can't blame any side. Very sad, but let's hope everyone lives in harmony, with love & respect for all.
God has made all of us equal. In my opinion all religions teach the same. There is only one God.
I am impressed to see your vlog. Keep it up, God bless you and waiting for the next one. Thanks
Thanks sir. Stay tuned.
Thank you for sharing such a nice video. Its mostly abandon place although most happening expensive properly.

Homemaking with Luma
Really impressed specially from your words. in India parsis use usually irani with their names
Thanks ❤!!
I am Indian. Very nice video. Parsi people is the very laborious person. Example - Jamshedjee tata
Absolutely right.

Nice video Zyad Bhai Love from Mumbai INDIA🇮🇳
U Right ❤🌹♥️💗💕❤️💓🌹
Very informative and interesting video I appreciate you to pick this topic which is very rare and hidden
Thank you. For showing the houses of the Parsis of Karachi. I am an Indian and am very proud of our noble race. We call ourselves Parsi Zoroastrians. "Parsi" because we come from a place called Pars in Persia and Zoroastrian is our religion. Our population maybe a drop in the ocean, but we enrich / empower / contribute with largesse to every section of society in INDIA. Thank You Indeed.
Pleasure!! ❤
Veri good video and good speech .... Yes,education first
Well done good effort i see many time mama parsi school and parsi colony

Great Video thanks
To me Parsis are the most kind hearted & soft natured people.
This got completely shattered after working in a Parsis company in Mumbai.
The filth, abuses hurled to the poor people working here, even the sincere & noble parsi community may not tolerate. It shows Might ight is right is the basic principle.
I hear you! After all, the totalitarian money mindset exists everywhere.

Good 1
Very interesting & informative
my graduation is of 1979 from BVS, moved to US and here I have a good friend Farhad Sheesh Brothren, and i still keep a tap on another good friend Rony Patel who is well known for taking part in Car rallies taking place in PAKISTAN. At that time and age of PAKISTAN AND KARACHI will keep me reminiscing and deep inside I hurt when I see how it is being brought to it's end. It is not only Parsi's who have left but a whole lot of us have left never to come back. Tragic but true. The worst part is when ever I visit and move around, I have to arm myself (which I never did 15 years back or so) but it has become a necessity. Sorry to say but we have lost and we will live in agony till our last breath. Just give a little portion of Sind to the graduates of Mama and BVS, trust me...we can do miracles for the revival of Karachi
Nice video❤🎉
I'm Anthropologist this is my my subject
I love your struggle.
Mansoor from Thatta
Thank you Mansoor!
Excellent video you refresh my memory i used to live in Parsi colony. Thank you so much.
That houses are symbol of their prosperity.
Zabardast ❤
They were elites
Very positive influencers
Strong Investors
Than what happened that most had to leave thia place.
Can these properties be purchased???
Good video . Life is just an illusion
Always fascinated by these houses so sad to see the deterioration of this area
