Karachi (The Pearl of Arabian Sea), the history of mega polis dates back to 18th century, when it was formally planned and established by a Seth, a local merchant. Researchers claim that there has been a small settlement around the Arabian Sea, even centuries before Jesus Christ. Apart from the proven facts, it has been a folk tradition that Karachi was once a village of fishermen, called Kalachi or Kolachi. It later changed to Currachee, Currachi and finally Karachi in the times of British rule. Crochey, Caranjee and Kurrachee are other corrupted versions. The city earned prominence while the British made it provincial capital, after annexing Sindh in 1843.
The Zoroastrians or Parsis are responsible for many of the heritage buildings and other landmarks of Karachi. They are truly called the pioneers of city as they served enthusiastically to make Karachi a proper city from the ashes of fisher-men’s village.
In 1947 saw the emergence of first ideological state in the Sub-continent. The newly born Pakistan chose Karachi as its capital. It was then a small and cultured city of around 400,000 people. As the floodgate opened for immigrants, it soon developed as a big city of ethnic diversity. The world recognized it as one of the most important towns of the region for it had all the charm, attraction and opportunity for the natives, as well as foreigners.
Even after shifting of capital to Islamabad in 1959, Karachi kept on touching the height of growth in every aspect. Now it is a mega city of more than 20 million people, having an international airport, a modern seaport, railway stations, flyovers, overhead bridges, underpasses and metallic roads, with other necessities. It is by far the largest city of Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
