It's not a video it's a history of old Karachi. Dying history of glorious community and architecture 😥😢
You have to agree that it’s all because of the hate and religious beliefs.

My schooling was from The Mama Parsi School, where I met a couple of Parsi students and teachers. Such nice, education oriented and progressive people! God bless them!
I really hope the Parsi colony remains well preserved!

My cooking classes was too from Mama's Classes of delicious 😋 food with lines too...I am from Bombay too being Muslim...Safe them from Evils Aamin... specially politicians,brokers too
Parsis came to Indian subcontinent after being kicked out by Islamists in Iran. Now they are being kicked out of Indian subcontinent by Islamists! Story remains same.

I used to walk in these streets by bunking classes from Islamia College back in 2002 .After watching this video I miss those streets so much . I used to walk alone here because there was a sense of peace accompanied by loneliness in these houses though I used to live in Gulshan e Iqbal , but I dont know Why I was so attached to them .

1st of Thanks to Careem Captain and then to BBC Reporter for this Marvelous Short Documentary this Area should be put on Protected Heritage Site. It should also be Protected for Architects to learn from it's Construction. Libraries should build by Private Companies or MNC's (without even altering even a single brick) inside for Public with Tickets for Maintenance purpose. Example is TDF House (the Dawood Foundation). It can also be given to TCF (The Citizens Foundation) for Libraries and Educational Purposes.

I spent my childhood in these streets my nanis home was in soldier bazar it's very close to Parsi colony I used to walk and play and pickup flowers in these streets about 40 years ago it was a very clean and calm peaceful organized area Parsis houses were always fascinated me and I wished to go inside but it was not possible because they only make terms with their own comunity
Now the whole society turned into high rise buildings except few houses
I never forget those days
I'm from upper punjab and my heart cries whenever i see the diversity of Karachi fading away slowly. The city which was once a happy home to multiple diverse religions and people is now a chaotic mess where no sensible being wants to live anymore. These buildings, these communities were meant to be preserved and grow better with time but we ruined it due to our narrow minded thinking towards them. Today's state of Karachi makes me very very sad. Now its just a city with buildings and traffic with no identity of itself. We don't even realise how damaging it is that true Karachiites are leaving 😔💔

Not occupied by parsi
Please use the term
Inhabited by parsi or lived by parsi.
Occupied gives negative meaning as some one staying illegally
Thank you 🙏

I actually had a walk in and around Parsi Colony today. Rows of beautiful houses, a grand Sohrab Katrak Park, a beautiful spiral stair case of a house, low boundary walls. It really dont belong to Karachi of today, it seems. But the streets were deserted even though it was late afternoon. 1922 year of built was visible on a house. A sense of peace, you can feel, or its the silence. Not sure where the inmates are but only God save these two streets in Parsi Colony.
Im in love with this place ... We have made Karachi a jungle of people with no proper planning leading to overcrowdedness, no parks and no proper place to take a breath. .. I wish city build like this ...
i spent my whole child hood in parsi colony. we were used to go on walk after dinner. during winter season i love to walk in the street of parsi colony. rhank u so much for this precious video. watching from emirates
Back in 1996, Whenever I used to go to Holy Family Hospital, I used to walk through these streets, now hoping that those apartments like Jamshed Bagh would still be inhabited.
Oh my lord !!
How beautiful these houses are... I wish I had any of these houses.. ❤️
I live here and around 2006 right beside this community were army quarters and army soldiers lived there but later on they also moved from this place it's important to know parsis are very kind and civilised community also they are well educated
So naturally, they couldn't stay in Pakistan.
India's Richest industrialist families are Parsis, doing very well in India.
Some of these are Tata, Godrej, Poonawala (India's Covid vaccine manufacturer), Mistry, Pudumjee, etc....
Parsis fled Iran's Shias.
Islam is a force for negative effects in world.

@@dev8896 Still they aren't Hindu but parsis don't take any pride by associating them with you ,parsis are indeed very well versed and Rich people and you can stop with your obsession of Pakistan and concentrate more on your own affairs so please ....parsis are very nice people and I have intreracted with 1-2 my self not that I discussed there affairs but some of them still dwell here they remain very low key as a community and still a minority be it India or Pakistan . your agenda seems very clear with you comments ...how do you guys even find the time to come to these videos that don't even concern you, obsession perhaps!! FYI we have Hindu families living here as well they are also a minority but Pakistanis and treated very well my very neighbours are Hindu and we have good ties with them.
@@kamran.i Parsis do remember and take "Pride" that it was a Hindu King in Gujarat that offered them refuge, (and not just refuge but allowed them to assimilate in local population, without any religious conversion) when they fled Persia (Iran) from Safavids (that had newly converted to Islam and the Hussainis there were thisty for infidels blood).
Parsi & Hindus are proud infidels and non believers in Allah or Mohd.
Really a wonderful documentary. Filming, editing and combination of music all were excellent. After a long time seen such a good documentary on BBC.
When i was young , we were not allowed to go in this Area and had the fear of being mugged. But later in my college era I used to walk these streets daily in 2016 - 2018 as it was the shortest distance to reach MA jinnah road. I used to had most peaceful mornings and shady afternoons in scorching heat of summer. I also had an album full of photos i clicked specifically of different and strange flowers present in this area. Last year i also had my driving lessons in these streets. Nice place with nice memories

1965 ۔ یہ علاقے بہت خوبصورت ہوا کرتے تھے۔ یہ دو گلیوں پر مشتمل نہیں تھا۔ بلکہ بہت بڑا علاقہ اسی طرح تھا۔ جہانگیر روڈ ۔ عالمگیر روڈ۔ پرانی نمائش سے ریڈیو پاکستان تک۔ اور گرو مندر تک۔ سولجر بازار کا پورا علاقہ۔ گارڈن کا پورا علاوہ حسن اسکوائر سے مزار قائد اعظم تک اسی طرح کے خوبصورت ترین بنگلہ تھے۔ اسی لیے کراچی کو ایشیا کا پیرس کہتے تھے۔
جب سے ملک کا دارلخلافہ یہاں سے اسلام آباد منتقل کیا گیا۔ کراچی کا ستیاناس کر دیا گیا۔ پوری دنیا میں پورٹ سیٹی کو دلہن کی طرح سجا کر رکھا جاتا ہے۔ تاکہ ایکسپورٹ بڑھے۔ ٹیوریزیم بڑھے۔ پوری دنیا سے لوگ آئیں ملک ترقی کرے۔ لیکن یہاں کی خبیث قوم نے تعصب اقراپروری۔ تنگ نظری۔ کوتاہنگری۔ ناعاقبت اندیشی۔ زہریلی سوچ اور اردو بولنے والوں سے شدید نفرت کے باعث کراچی کا بیڑا غرق کر دیا۔ جو بھی حکمران آیا اس نے اپنی قوم کو امیر کرنے کے لیے ایک ہی فارمولے پر عمل کیا۔ " جل کراچی مچھ کمایاں " بڑے بڑے پارک۔ ندی ۔ نالے ۔ پہاڑ۔ سمندر جھیل فٹ پاتھ۔ قبرستان۔ ہر جگہ۔ اہل خبیث۔ اہل وطن نے اپنی حکومت کے بل بوتے پر قبضہ کر وا دیے۔
اس کے سب سے بڑے ہیرو اور بانی قبضہ مافیا ایوب خان ہیں۔ جنہوں نے اپنے دور حکومت میں لیاری ندی جو کہ مرزا آدم خان روڈ سے لیکر شیر شاہ روڈ تک چوڑی تھی اس کے بیچ میں صرف قبرستان تھا۔ اور یہ پانچ کلومیٹر چوڑی تھی۔ لوگ اس میں ہرن کا شکار کرتے تھے۔ میں نے خود اس میں فٹبال کھیلا ہے۔ اور مرغابیوں کا شکار کھیلا ہے۔
1970 ۔ تک لیاری اسٹیشن سے لیکر گلبائ اسٹیشن تک کوئی تجاویزات نہیں تھی ۔ گلبائ کے موڑ پر جہاں روڈ ماری پور روڈ سے شیر شاہ روڈ کی طرف موڑتی ہے۔ ندی تھی۔ اسی موڑ پر حکومت نے 1970 ۔ میں اومنی بس کا ورک شاپ بنانے کا ارادہ کیا تو ندی اتنی گہری تھی کہ 20 فٹ اونچی بھرائی کی گئی۔ پھر جا کر ورک شاپ بنا۔
ایوب خان نے ندی کے اندر شیر شاہ روڈ سے 4 کلو میٹر اندر پورے کراچی کا کچرا ڈالوانہ شروع کر دیا۔ اور یہ کام 1965 ۔ سے شروع ہو گیا تھا۔ اسکے بعد ان کچروں پر پٹھانوں کو بسانا شروع کر دیا۔ اور 5 کلومیٹر چوڑی ندی کو آدھے کلومیٹر نالے میں تبدیل کردیا۔
آج جو مچھر کالونی کہلاتی ہے۔ اسے بھی میں نے خود اپنی آنکھوں سے دیکھا۔ لیاری اسٹیشن کے سامنے ایک جھونپڑی بھی نہیں تھی۔ اور ھم یہاں کرکٹ اور فٹ بال کھیلا کرتے تھے۔ کی کئ ٹیمیں کیھلا کرتی تھی۔ اس پر بھی کچرا ڈال ڈال کر قبضہ کر لیا گیا۔ آج مچھر کالونی کے نام پر پورا شہر آباد ہے۔
اسی طرح گلبائ کا علاقہ۔ نیلم کالونی۔ pidc ۔ پل کے قریب حضرت کالونی۔ آئل ڈیپو ۔ جہاں آئل کے ٹینکر کھڑے ہوتے ہیں بہت بڑا علاقہ قبضہ کر وا دیا۔
میں بہت سارے پارک کے بارے میں جانتا ہوں جسے ایوب خان نے اپنے رشتے داروں کے زریعے قبضہ کروا دیئے ہیں۔ اور ان پٹھانوں نے اس پر کی کئ بلڈنگیں بنا لی ہیں۔ اور ان کی نسلیں بیٹھ کر کھا رہی ہیں اور وہ آج بھی ایوب خان کو دعائیں دیتی ہیں۔
آج 75 سال کے بعد انھیں خیال آیا کہ پورٹ سیٹی کو ترقی دینی ہے۔ اور دھڑا دھڑ تیزی سے کام ہو رہا ہے۔ لیکن افسوس ہے ان کے خلاف آپریشن ہو رہا ہے جنہوں نے اپنے خون پسینے کی کمائی سے گھر 🏡🏡 بنایا ہے۔ جو ایمانداری سے ٹیکس دیتے ہیں۔ بجلی پانی گیس کا بل ایمانداری سے دیتے ہیں ۔ انکا گھر توڑا جا رہا ہے۔ انصاف تو اس وقت نظر اے گا جب آپ مچھر کالونی۔ نیلم کالونی۔ ہزارہ گوٹھ ۔ حضرت کالونی اور تمام گوٹھ جو قبضہ کر کے بنائے گئے ہیں ان کو توڑیں۔ پھر ہم کہیں گے کہ آپ نے انصاف کیا ہے۔

Start with saving the pavement first. Look at the amount of rubbish on it. If the people cant even take care of the pavement. How are you even going to take care of the houses. Why is there so much rubbish every where you go in pakistan. It's ridiculous
I used to go to Technical high school from garden to Jacob line via Parsi colony and it was well maintained at that time & very rich people lived there
I love my city, Thank you BBC Urdu for highlighting the burning issues of the city. we hope one day my city will be shining again and people will come here to visit in very peaceful atmosphere.
Hi, coming from an Indian, y'all really need to preserve this beautiful place. I'm sure pakistan is full of such beautiful places of the bygone era. There exists a small town in Gujarat on the arabian sea coast. It's called Udvada which is also the most sacred place of the parsis. The Modi government here has done an excellent job at protecting the town. Cheers!
If Parsi’s being the minority could’ve saved their heritage uptill 2021in the most busiest road of Karachi then where did We fail ? They are not weak at all - They have a leading school named “MAMA PARSI GIRLS Secondary school” right on the heart of MA jinnah road.
The community is peaceful and loving and above all they are well wishers of Pakistan
Indeed parsis are very kind and generous people and very well educated
When Muslims loose their identity as a result you got Pakistan

Thats realy marvellous i think sindh govt and fedral govt must take serious steps to preserve the parsi comunity they are very dilligent comunity
SINDH GOVT???? NOOOOOOOO😱😱😱😱😱🤲 PHIR TO KUCH BHI NAHI BACHAYGA🤣🤣🤣
> Sindh government
> Focus on helping Karachi and not destroying it
That's an oxymoron. Sindh government loved to wage political war against Karachi
ہمیں تو آپ اور آپکی یہ رپورٹ بے حد خوبصورت لگے۔۔۔ لو یو سحر!!
Thank you bbc reporter. This is just to throw pebble in ocean of my memories when little Fazle Subhan had to use these streets.
Great people ! there is Parsi colony in Quetta Lahore too
Bhai kia Lahore me bhi hain
Aur ager hain to kis jagah par hain ?

My older sister's in-laws lived in Parsi colony. She got married at age 19 and moved there. I used to visit her house in my teenager years back in 1990s. We all moved to USA almost 25 yeas ago. Life back then was entirely different. Feeling nostalgic!
I looked this area up because I remember walking through here a few years ago and I was taken aback by the areas beauty and nostalgic appeal. It's so different from anywhere else in Pakistan.
naheed respected madam now don't you visit Pakistan ?
@@bhattisahib9575she must have converted her sister in law and made her a muslim nahi to islam khatre mein aa jata 🤦🤦 disgusting people
Parsi's have gifted us quality education in the shape of BVS parsi boys and Mama Parsi girls.
Homeless people knows the importance of home.
😔
I inspired a lot . Thanks for sharing . God bless you and our brothers of Parsi community .
The history and architecture is splendid. I will visit this part when I visit Karachi next time. The corner house looked like from a movie. Very well planned and built houses. Very nice video.
Beautiful construction engulfed by the trees. Malls and skyscrapers are unnatural, we need more trees for better life.
And save minorities ...Parsi hindus lived in karachi much before pakistan was born ...look at the demographic of your city now
@@tarunodaysarma9741 minorities are save nobody is forcing them to move Parsis are dying of or moving to USA and not producing kids.
@@native5647 one of the minor reasons maybe...major issue of any Islamic country is forcing others into islam...bangladesh is also going paxtan way driving put all hindus
@@tarunodaysarma9741 How comes Hindus are thriving in Middile East if all Muslim countries are forcing Non Muslim to convert to Islam. If that is true you will not find any non Muslim in Muslim country
@@native5647 indians are working in middle east...they get compensated or promoted for their work...that's why they are thriving...and in middle east they dont get forced to get converted like paxtan
I m from Karachi but I didn't know about this colony but i want to know about this beautiful place i Like this 🥰🥰
Easy Food Menu. I am surprised you do not know about Parsi colony. Were you sleeping all the time when you were in Karachi???
It is never too late, just spare some time [and money] and visit, and report compliance pl. Thanks and regards
from USA
ماشاء اللّٰہ بہت خوبصورت اور پر سکون جگہ ہںے ویران ہںے لیکن روحانیت سے بھر پور ہںے اللّٰہ پاک اس جگہ اور ان گھروں کی حفاظت فرماںے آمین ثم آمین 🤲
Ameen
It's amazing architecture. People have to support the Karachi Pakistan Heritage. Also, request to Federal and provincial governments to plan and implement such kind of new colonies and towns.
Don't worry parsi gone now Chinese will live here, Chinese will build tall buildings here, Chinese money will be good for Pakistan iron brother friendship
Amazing video with beautiful selection and proper and exact pronunciation of words intensifies the joy of watching it.
Pakistan Government should be helping these people and protecting them from the Mafia of Karachi.
I love humanity ... That's above all...
They are Sach a good community may God blessed them All
It should be declared Govt Heritage
I remember in 50's, this place was so neat and clean. My father's friend used to live there. We used to visit him. I am wondering where these people moved out to and why?
Really you don't know why??for the same reason hindu population dwindled to nearly zero post independence till now coz of intolerance of other religions in this country.
@@pdred1 unfortunately you have been fed too much hatred. If and when you ever visit Pakistan, your perception will totally change. Many people fled not just because of security but better life. This has happened in India too.
Stop wondering and start meeting with people to open up your mind. There is still a lot of love out there. Peace ✌

Please don't tell half truth.
Reporter said Paris have taken help of police for their protection very often.
@@FawadBilgrami living in your dreams ??
@@chawlavinaymurti6266 protection as in during protests because protesters often harm public property. Why don't u indians mind ur own buissness instead of making lame assumptions for a change
No doubt parsi community great server of Karachi.
Great people.
Peaceful and educated.
Parsi log bohat soft heart k log hotay hain
This area is valuable that's why the builder offers are such mouth watering that people are selling their banglow. Soldier bazar, MA Jinnah road, Nister Park, Mazar e Qaid, Numaish all are with in 500 meters.
I love my city Allah Pak Karachi ko buri nazron or bure logon se mehfoz rakhe. Ameen 😇❤️
آمین ان شاءاللہ
I HAD MY PARSI ENGLISH TEACHER AND ONE OF THE FINEST HUMAN BEING I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS NOT ONLY THAT SHE WAS HOSPITABLE VERY STYLISH AND AMAZING SOULS THANK YOU MISS AMMI KING FOR BEING AN IMPORTANT PART OF MY LIFE..

It is great effort.
True and researched journalism.
from 2000 to 2009 my school van used to use this route, it was so comforting to see these houses, their residents used to have many dogs....and in 2024 I take this route to home when there's traffice at saddar, its sad to see in ruins, abandoned 😢
پاک مسلمان عورتوں کیلئے حیاء سب قیمتی زیور ہے🥰❤️

This area is near my home. I remember taking driving lessons here in the morning. I wish we had more homes and areas like Parsi Colony.
Could explain why is there so much rubbish on the pavement. Are those houses in a deprived area of karachi?
@@mohammedkhan2020 the area isn’t deprived or anything, it’s a great area. But it’s Karachi for you, dude.
@@Mazahir99
Embarassing to say the least. If that's the mentality even of the middle class and the upper class. Hardly a great area if that's the state of the pavement. Clearly shows the mentality of the people living there.
