many say this is the Mumbai of pakistan …what’s the source of the name? Apparently Lahore is a mutation of Luvpore (Luv being Lord Roma’s son). Wonder if Karachi is also named after a Hindu God?

Re: Karachi
it was named after a Mai Kolachi…a woman from a fishermen’s town which has today become Karachi. I had written an small article on the history etc a while back, i’ll see and post.
Recently ‘Mai Kolachi’ is also the name of an imp bypass in the city.
some links here would be helpful.
