^ thank you...i wonder if Pakistan makes any cars presently? Mehran used to be one...right? do they assemble cars from overseas?
Re: Pakistan - A History in photographs
Deewan Farooq did introduced some Pakistan made cars, but they didn't get acceptance, because overall Pakistani nation is import junky. 'If I can afford, why not better foreign stuff' is the consumer philosophy all over Pakistan.

Takht Bhai
The word Takht Bhai (Urdu: تخت بھائی) may have different explanations. In Sanskrit, takht means “well” and bhai means “on a high surface”, so the whole word means “well on a high surface”.[citation needed] In Persian, takht means “throne”. The ruins are located about 15 kilometers from Mardan in Pakistan’s Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Province

Remains Dagbir Masjid - A view from rear
Thatta, Karachi District, Sindh.
Dagbir Mosque is located in the south near the outskirts of Thatta. It has been made by the bricks and the mosque is in very bad shape nowadays as it is totally ruined. It is probably the oldest mosque of the region and there are chances that this mosque was the old Jami Mosque that was built by Amir Khusro Khan Charkas on the instruction of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan for praying at the time when the emperor was in Thatta. Construction of this mosque dates back to the year around 1588 A.D. Size of the mosque is around 98 feet by 48 feet. It has 3 bays that have been covered by 2 small domes and 1 large dome which is bigger than the rest on its sides. The inner sides of roofs of the domes have a tile work which is superb in its design. The pattern of the flowers imprinted inside the domes are the true example of subtle tracery.
