Rohingyas in karachi

I am amazed to find out that Rohingyas live in karachi too…

are there people from any regional country, not present in karachi? :hmmm:

Re: Rohingyas in karachi

They must be in other parts of Pakistan too.

Re: Rohingyas in karachi

No I havent seen them in Punjab, Karachi is a cosmopolitan city in its true sense...

Re: Rohingyas in karachi

do you have nepalese in karachi?

@Ali bhai thats why i always think of karachi as real multi-ethnic city of south asia

Re: Rohingyas in karachi

In a nook I was reading an American visits Pakistan several times to build schools. There were some people who resemble gurkhas. They are great mountaineers. Start with M I think.

Re: Rohingyas in karachi

Nepalese, Bangladeshis, Beharis and Srilankans are also there. The Beharis I believe were settled in Punjab, but they found their way to Karachi too.

Re: Rohingyas in karachi

Could be as there are so many different kinds of people living there which are not present (at least in big numbers) in the rest of the country like Makranis (Sidis), Memons (some present in Punjab but not conspicuous), Gujaratis, Ismaelis, Bohras, I believe even Parsis also live there.

Re: Rohingyas in karachi

Parsis got their community centers and graveyards (tower of silence) in Karachi. They are the people who developed Karachi :salute: People like Jamshed Nasarwanji were the real asset of city. Parsis are very polite, patriot and philanthropist people.

Re: Rohingyas in karachi

I will dig that book up and see which community was being referred to. They were mountain people and would carry luggage etc of visitors up the mountain.

Re: Rohingyas in karachi

Three cups of tea.

Balti people.

Re: Rohingyas in karachi

You mean people from Baltistan

Re: Rohingyas in karachi

Did not know there was such a sthan. Probably.

Re: Rohingyas in karachi

There is a place in Pakistan namely Gilgit-Baltistan

Re: Rohingyas in karachi

Did not know that.

Correct spelling should be Pakisthan Hindusthan etc. I am sure 2z the spelling buff would agree.

Re: Rohingyas in karachi

lols in Persianised Hindi/ Urdu sthan become stan

Re: Rohingyas in karachi

I did not know that!

Re: Rohingyas in karachi

Baltis live in baltistan (near gilgit).

Re: Rohingyas in karachi

The area (baltistan) formed part of Kashmir before independence, people there have some Chinese features.

Baltistan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Re: Rohingyas in karachi

^ Exactly. That is why I thought of the gurkhas when I read abt them in the book.

Re: Rohingyas in karachi
