Karachi –The city of lights was made the Capital of Pakistan after Independence. It is a busiest city with great activity in the trade, industry, education and other fields of life. It has gone through a tremendous change and development in various spheres. With enormous rise in the population, several residential colonies have emerged in Karachi accommodating the influx of people from other provinces as well. Due to this reason, Karachi quickly expanded within a short span of time.
Karachi is a cosmopolitan city with people coming from different parts of the world. It is a mingling of old and new, east and west. It has absorbed the charm and beauty of modern and conventional ways of living. Hence, it is the centre of education and other cultural and social activities. A great number of prestigious educational institutions are functioning here. It is an ultramodern city, with modern cinemas, recreational clubs, hotels and restaurants. There are beautiful beaches at Sandpit, Sommiani and Hawks Bay. These places are excellent picnic resorts with their tranquil surroundings and provide an atmosphere to rest and relax. The opportunities for yachting, water-skiing and cruising are also available here. The presence of huge and multi-storied buildings has given it a grandeur and majestic appearance.
Conversely, despite of all these traits, the mighty city is facing various conflicts in terms of socialization, culture, religion and politics. The city of lights is turning into a dark state of gloom and blue. With the emergence of various communities, it is a common stance to observe disputes among different castes and creeds in the name of different political, social and religious agendas.
There is an utter lack of unity, tolerance and ability to understand and respect others opinion, among the inhabitants which is certainly leading towards the current scenario of the city. It’s common to heed news about the certain amount of people being killed, streets crime have deepen their roots, hence, thee houses are being looted. The question that pops in my mind now is whether are we even safe in our own abodes? There is a lack of employment, what is forcing the civilians to turn into barbarians? Frustration is the answer! All in all, in current times, it’s highly significant for the people to unit and to provide equal rights, on grounds of humanity to the fellow beings.
