KARACHI IN 1950s

Karachi before the establishment of Pakistan, when this city was more multicultural and multifaith than today - Bur-e-Saghir, Pak, India, Bengal, Malbar, Burma, Afghanistan, Iran.

People from all sides used to come for trade and become here - poor and cheap so famous. It was that no one slept hungry - then a time came - what was in the affair of your Mary is no longer there and it is not possible to have a blessing in coincidence - today we the people of Karachi are being punished for the same oppression and inconsistency.

And the sad thing is that you are not ready to understand either.

Remember the peaceful Karachi of a hundred years ago when everyone loved, not jealous, were not afraid of each other and only made big deals on the tongue.

And still it was not the name of cheating - when Hindus and Sikh were going from the old areas, not a single local looted their property, money and respect -

Inverarity Road – Old Karachi Memories

Walking from Zainab Market Street towards Lucky Star, near today’s Atrium Mall, this area tells the story of how Karachi evolved—layer by layer, memory by memory.

Krishna Mansion was once a prominent residential and commercial landmark, reflecting the elegant architecture of pre-Partition Karachi.

Lotia Building was known for its busy commercial activity and old-world charm, a witness to decades of trade and city life.

The Imperial Emporium, a popular shopping spot in its time, later transformed into the famous Alpha Restaurant, which itself became a memory for many Karachiites.

The city changes, but its stories live on in these streets.
