Re: Karachi turning into a ghetto?
^^ I do accept the fact that Karachi is far from being good, but denying that improvements are being brought in is simply ridiculous. I've never lived in Clifton, Defence etc. so don't expect me to know how the sewers there work... although I have lived in the middle-class areas and the sewers don't do half as bad a job as you mentioned (unless it rains--once again, we are far from being good). Do you wanna bring that old system back where a cleaner would scoop up the poo from the toilet and throw it out? Hmm... dunno how'd that work out, my nana told me that it was the kind of sewerage they used to have during his time.
And by the way, what did Karachi used to be? Seriously, I don't care; there's no point of looking back. Dude, cities grow, economies grow, people get more informed... you can stick to that "I want it exactly the way it was before" attitude unless you wanna keep moving ahead. And make no mistake, I am absolutely not in favor of the current condition of Karachi--whether be it lower class, middle class or upper class--I am only in favor of the improvements that are being made. And Farid bhai if you think that there's something wrong with the improvements, please bother to share it here with a decent explanation.
