Re: desis n clifton
Kharadar and Meethadar are probably the oldest n’hoods there, home to Parsis and Memons or those who were citizens of Bombay – in pre-parition days Karachi was part of Bombay. The houses and building are very old there. If this were UK or Europe, they’d be “listed” properties but we Pakistanis are not endowed with such civic sense. It’s amazing how old some of the buildings are in Karachi and the city’s history; Karachi reminds me of the other “old” cities I have been to – I’d get tarred and feathered by Karachi haters if I name names.
