Re: Lahore Lahore Hai…

There are some organizations who are working for changing name of Shadman chowk to Shaheed Bhagat Singh Road. All the best to them, because we are only good Muslims for giving Muslim identity to Roads and buildings only :bummer:

Much has been brought in front of the public about the life and thoughts of the young revolutionaries by the movies; however what not many people in Pakistan know is that this part of India, which later became Pakistan, played a prominent role in the life of Bhagat Singh. He was born in a small village in the outer-skirts of Faislabad, where his ancestral house and primary school still stand. Bhagat Singh got his education from Lahore, and this is where he became a revolutionary in the true essence of the word. He also formed his Naujawan Bharat Sabha in Lahore. The office of the Party was in a small room in the precincts of Mozang. It is said that the room, where the office was still exists. Bhagat Singh was kept in Lahore Jail, which exists near Ichra today. At that time, the Jail was much bigger than what it is today, covering most of the area of Shadman, right up to the Hata Mul Chand Chowk.

**Near the Main Market of Shadman, there is a roundabout, with a fountain, called the Shadman Chowk or Faware wala Chowk. It is said that the gallows of the jail were around this area, and this is where Bhagat Singh, along with his compatriots, Sukhdev, and Rajguru were hanged on March 23[SUP]rd[/SUP] 1931.

**
There are nonetheless a few organizations and individuals in the country, who seem to admire the history of our land, and make an effort to own and disperse it amongst the people. On the 23[SUP]rd[/SUP] of March every year, when most of the Pakistanis enjoy the Pakistan Day Holiday with their families, and friends, there are a handful of people, who protest at the Shadman Chowk. These people, who belong to the various Communist and Socialist groups of the city, have been gathering here on this particular day for many years. Their request is to change the name of this Chowk from Shadman Chowk to Shaheed Bhagat Singh Chowk, in memory of the child of Lahore, who sacrificed his life for the desolate people of India, irrespective of their creed, color or religion.

Re: Lahore Lahore Hai...

Ok.. Jinhe Lahore nahin wekhiya wo jamya nahi... so whats the place in Lahore, if not seen visited / seen, means you didn't visit Lahore.

Re: Lahore Lahore Hai...

This terminology for Lahore (as a city).

Re: Lahore Lahore Hai...

Yes I know its about whole Lahore city, but what do you think is the most important place of Lahore that should be visited to know 'why Lahore Lahore hai', if the visitor has shortage of time.

Re: Lahore Lahore Hai...

Maybe then the Shahi Qila, Badshahi Masjid, Data Darbar, Anarkali, and a little bit of Mall road as this area includes British era/Mogul architecture, Sufi traditions all of what basically makes Lahore the city it is. All these areas are quite close to each other as well.

Re: Lahore Lahore Hai...

In simple words Bhati gate is the area which makes Lahore Lahore :D

Re: Lahore Lahore Hai...

Have you tried Hareesa? In Karachi, we think that its same as Haleem?

Ali_Syed · April 16, 2012, 9:20am

Re: Lahore Lahore Hai...

Yes I have had it, there was a place near Bhatti gate from where I used to eat it. Hareesa is a bit different as compared to Haleem.

muqawwee123 · April 16, 2012, 9:27am

Re: Lahore Lahore Hai...

One of my Punjabi friend told that in Haleem Daals form major part of the food and in Hareesa meat forms major portion of the food. Means the difference between Haleem and Hareesa is the same as difference between Pulao and Biryani :)

When we visited Lahore, one of our colleague commented that 'Ye Lahore wale bahane bahane se doodh pilate hai.. inki chae bhi bus doodh hi hota hai'.. Considering the kadak chai in Karachi :)
