7. TEEN TALWAAR
This impressive monument can be found in the
area of Clifton.
Karachi has many landmarks, but the Teen
Talwar really stands-out. The three white marble
swords symbolize (and are inscribed with the
dogma of Pakistan's founder, Mohammad Ali
Jinnah) Unity, Faith and Discipline. ("ittehad,
yaqeen-e-muhkam, tanzeem.") This lovely
tribute was commissioned by the former
President & Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
(Quaid-e-Awam). The abundance of white, good-
quality marble in the city's vicinity has
apparently encouraged its wide use for the
creation of many monuments, lending a
symbolic nature of grandeur & purity.
NOTE: If you're hoping for a picture of yourself
standing in front of this monument, it's not
possible: the 3 swords are located in the middle
of a very busy roundabout (also known as Teen
Talwar Intersection near St Andrew's Church).
So clicking a few pictures from a distance whilst
you're waiting in traffic is the best option.
ALSO, note that many beggars have made this
busy roundabout their home and will incessantly
knock at your car window.
To me it is questionable whether the hundreds
of thousands of commuters, workers, delivery
drivers & beggars passing-by here every day are
still inspired by this declaration of patriotism;
I'm sure it looks more impressive to an outsider
like myself. This considered, does New York's
Statue of Liberty and its values still mean as
much to Americans as it does to awe-struck
foreign travellers? Do we take our own history
for granted? Food for thought...

AMAZING FACTS OF KARACHI
9. EMPRESS MARKET
SADDAR
The Empress Market (Urdu: مارکیٹ ایمپریس ,Sindhi: مارڪیٽ ایمپریس) is a
famous marketplace situated in the Saddar Town locality
of Karachi, Pakistan. The market traces its origins to the British Raj era,
when it was first constructed.[1]Today,it is amongst the most popular and
busy places for shopping in Karachi and reflects as one of the few historical
spots of the city. Commodities sold in the Empress Market range from
condiments, fruit, vegetables and meat to stationary material, textiles and
pet shops.
The Empress Market was constructed between 1884 and 1889 and was
named to commemorate Queen Victoria,Empress of India. The market was
constructed at a well-chosen site that was clearly visible from a great
distance. The site of the market had historical significance as it was situated
on the grounds where a number of native sepoyswere executed in a ruthless
fashion after the Indian Rising of 1857 (The Ghaddar). Accounts mention
that the sepoys had their heads blown off by cannonballs in an attempt to
suppress any mutinous feelings among the locals.
The foundation stone of the Empress Market was laid by the-then Governor
of Bombay, James Ferguson in 1884, who also laid the foundation of
the Merewether Memorial Tower. It was designed by James Strachan, the
foundations were completed by the English firm of A.J. Attfield, and the
building was constructed by the local firm of ‘Mahoomed Niwan and Dulloo
Khejoo’. The building was arranged around a courtyard, 130 ft by 100 ft, with
four galleries each 46 ft wide. The galleries provided accommodation for 280
shops and stall keepers; at the time of its construction it was one of only
seven markets in Karachi.[2] a recreational park also exists nearby.
In 2011, a fire of unknown cause destroyed at least 46 and damaged 62 shops
in the market near Jahangir Park, causing potentially billions of Rupees in
damage to traders.[3]

10. SEA VIEW CLIFTON
KARACHI
Karachi started as a small fishing village called
Mai KOLACHI. With the annexation of Sindhh
by the British in 1843 it changed into a town.
Its naturally protected harbour and moderate
climate made it a summer resort for Sindhh. It
was reputed to be the cleanest city of the sub-
continent till 1947 with a population of
200,000. Karachi was transformed into an
unmanageably big city with the establishment
of Pakistan. It was the first capital of the
federation from 1947 to 1960 before Islamabad
was built. Being a port city millions of refugees
from all over India streamed in here and gave it
an unprecedented vitality and multicultural
dimension. Today, its population exceeds 13
million. The main attractions of Karachi are
the sea, the shopping and some fine specimen
of Victorian architecture and modern buildings
and international cuisine.
