This is an amazing video; a peaceful and serene Karachi, befor the arrival of MQM thugs.

some clips are mixed up i think. at 1:50 the double dekker bus has BEST written on it, which is Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport? thats Mumbai (bombay) municipal area public service company. or maybe it had a Karachi operation too.

I have no idea, but it shows how little we know. I bet this is not even in some archive. Would it not be good to show things like this on TV ?

اور پھر اس ٹرام کو ،،ٹرانسپورٹ مافیا،، نے اکھڑوا کر پھینک دیا،،
افسوس تعصب ،صوبائیت، اور فرقہ بازی ،،اس کراچی،ایشیا کے پیرس کو کھا گئی،،افسوس

Karachi As Seen By A British Soldier Sometime Between 1942 And 1947: Lively Street Scenes, Animals, Buildings, Life In Karachi Cantonment, Followed By The Journey Back Towards Britain On A Troop Ship Through The Suez Canal. The Movie Maker Obviously Developed A Liking Of Karachi And Its People.

کراچی ۱۹۸۰ کی دہای کہ شروع تک ایک پر امن شہر تھا۔ لیکن پھر م ق م کی ذلالت آ گی اور سارا امن تباہ ہو گیا۔

The miseries of our country started when America imposed evil Gen zia ul haq on pakistan who invented MQM, Mujahideen( now Taliban) , All religious sects( lashkar etc)

 

[King990]

just look at the Karachi how much peaceful and calm

All of our cities were safe before Jahadi and AK44 culture were introduced by Zia-ul-Haq and I "was" his biggest fan stupid me.

I rather live in hell than ruled by foreigner forces. I know conditioned may be very bad in Karachi but we are a free nation.
