    I have the honour of being associated with Ashfaq Khattak while he was DDS Karachi. He was instrumental in displaying a MG Steam Engine at Karachi cantt railway station. It was my wish that making this engine work would be an added feature. Ashfaq sahib got it done. A remarkable man.

    Very engrossing. Murshad you should visit the railway museum in New Delhi. You would love it. Khemkaran ball machine was quite interesting. Incidentally the town was properly stripped of everything during Pak occupation in 1965. Even the ‘chaugaath’ of houses and shops were looted and removed.

      Thank you, Man Aman. I was 13 years old in 1965. Our neighbour's son in law, a Frontier Force major, was on this sector. We were invited to visit and one day my brother and I and a couple of other chaps were in Khem Kharan. I recall the railway station and also all the ruined houses without chaugaaths. We were taken into a basement where uniformed body lay. Our guides were not sure if it was an Indian or a Pakistanis soldier. It had completely rotted.

    Well done Khattak Sahib & Raazi Sahib & Salman Sahib for preserving & recounting history
    Next visit to isb Insha'Allah will visit Golra
    I am looking for a foldable drinking glass holder which was installed in NWR trains in the past to complete my surahi carrying wooden frame
    which travellers used on trains in the old days
    And some enterprising traveller had deprived the railways of cup holder and fitted it on the surahi carrier frame which I bought from Nursery but when it was sent for lacquering in Gizri the mistry in turn deprived me of the glass holder
    I never should have sent it for polishing

    • @odysseuslahori
      @odysseuslahori  Год назад

      Oh, what a memory you have brought ack. I don't think I saw the glass holders after the late 1960s. And terribly sorry to hear the mistry appropriated your holder.

    Sir Jodhpur state had its own railways. Known as Jodhpur state railways.
    Maharana/ Rana prefix is Mostly for Mewar ( Udaipur ). Rest of the Rajput royals have Maharaja in Rajasthan.
    When Jinnah sb went to meet Maharaja of Jodhpur to persue him about not to get his state annexed to India rather get autonomy with Pakistan or remain independent, his arguments had quote " His highness you have such self reliance that you have your own railways why you need to get annexed with India."

    • @salmanrashid8880
      @salmanrashid8880 Год назад +2

      Good that the Maharaja of Jodhpur remained where he was or that railway too would have vanished. The JSR was, I think, later called JBR. I saw a carriage back in 1987 with this legend. It stood for Jodhpur Bikaner Railway.

      @himanshuvashisth1376 Год назад

      @@salmanrashid8880 Sir Its good that Jodhpur remained with us but whether Maharaja wanted it or not is history. I think Jinnah sb was successful in his persuasion but local population pressure and Sardar Vallabh Patel political dynamics reversed it and definitely this happened to be good for region.
      Partition of Punjab we have more information but partition of Thar dessert also has sad stories in history.
