One of Karachi's earliest stone-carved cemeteries, dating to the 15th century, lies west of Lal Bakhsh Kachelo village in Gadap, Malir. This priceless heritage is rapidly deteriorating. It must be protected before it is lost forever.
Protect it for posterity
I first visited this historic canopy of Bula Khan in Manghopir, Karachi, in 2009. Even then, it showed signs of neglect. Today, it is in shambles. Built in second quarter of 18th century, it commemorates Bula Khan, after whom Thano Bula Khan is named.

Thank you, Prime Minister @magyarpeterMP for the gracious post and appreciation. We could not have asked for a better endorsement!
Some gifts are displayed. This one is best eaten.
Not everyone gives a revolver as a gift.
At the end of a historic day, a pleasant surprise was waiting for me in my office. We received 90 mangoes as a gift from the Prime Minister of Pakistan.
Within an hour, only a few were left.
Thank you!

The sun sets on the Stupa Mound at Mohenjo-daro in early 2026 [Image 1]. The so-called "Divinity Lane" at Mohenjo-daro [2] separates the Stupa from the Great Bath, "College" and other areas. The name was given by early archaeologists who regarded the whole area as sacred and imagined that Indus priests would walk along it; we have no idea what Indus people called it, or whether they even gave it a name.
"Low Lane" in the DK-G area [3], and another lane in the HR Area [4] give some sense of how beautiful the light falling on different areas of Mohenjo-daro is at the end of the day.
