Watching this video truly opened my eyes to how much our nation has deteriorated since the 1970s. Over the years, we've gradually lost our vibrant heritage, and religious extremism has taken a stronger hold. I attended Nasra School in Saddar from 1968 to 1976, where I was lucky to learn alongside Parsis, Hindus, Christians, and even three Jewish students. It’s a beautiful video that touched my heart deeply. 😢
Jews in thousands living in Iran as well. The problem is with the Zionists and inhuman government of Israel which claims to be representing the Jews of the world.
I cried alot watching this as karachite muslim😢how beautiful multi ethnicity karachi was phir bhutto zinda hogya n hum sab margaye💔thanks wht a documentary nazar bhai
I suggest to you to make documentary on Hindus in karachi and their contribution.
حقیقت پر مبنی، تحقیق سے بھرپور اور نہایت جرات مندانہ کاوش ہے۔ ایسے موضوعات پر متوازن اور باوقار انداز میں روشنی ڈالنا آسان نہیں ہوتا، مگر آپ نے نہایت خوبصورتی سے تاریخ اور حقائق کو سامنے لایا۔ یہ کام یقیناً شعور، برداشت اور مکالمے کو فروغ دیتا ہے۔ مدثر نذیر آپ خراجِ تحسین کے مستحق ہیں۔ اللہ آپ کو مزید کامیابیاں عطا فرمائے ۔ ناصر چوہدری
Saamnay agar koi samosay walla khuda hay tow kha leana😭 hay hay, yea baat vohee samajh sukta hay jo appnay mulk say dour ho aur ussay yaad kurta ho. Yea, Jewish sahab jo hain Karachi ko bohat miss kurtay hain.
مدثر نذر صاحب بہترین معلوماتی ویڈیو ڈاکومنٹری ❤،،، لیکن ساتھ افسوس کہ ہم ایک بدترین عہد میں رہ رہے ہیں جہاں شناخت کو نہ ظاہر کرنے کی بھی فکر لاحق ہے
Jewish, Christian Muslim, we all are human first, I wish we all could live in peace & harmony without any borders 😢
This is so heartbreaking to watch no one deserves to feel threatened in their own country , be it minorities in Pakistan or Palestinians in Gaza..
25:30 Romana Hussain’s part elaborated the whole back and foreground of jews community splendidly 26:50 jews graves, truly a part of history that’s well presented
Karachi was very different from what we see now, every community was living in harmony. The Christmas and New year were felt by everyone, the sale also use to pickup during these festivals, we mixed with everyone, it was a city of trees like Neem, peepal, jamun, jangle jalabi and many others, the people were simple and accommodating, because of christians and Jewish teachers the standard of education was high, we all lived as Pakistanis. In a single sentence as a old karachiite I may sum up in this way " Now I am a stranger in my own city" where I was born educated and lived, for me Karachi is gone in the same way as the title of an old English movie, _Gone with the wind_ .
Respected, Respect from Karachi. Great Effort. Star Gate ( Name) is one of them. Mr Sadr Uddin Hashwani in his book, Truth wrote more than 45000 Polish came to Karachi through Ships in 1940s. All of them left till 1975. A truly Cosmopolitan city converted into trible society. YMCA+ YWCA were landmark.
comprehensive work parsi, jews and Christian - (pakistani) peaceful communities
I am not from Karachi but I love to explore each city of Pakistan, you did a wonderful job.
I truly appreciate the work of Mudasir Nazir for beautifully highlighting this forgotten part of Pakistan’s history. His documentary reminds us that Karachi and many other cities were once home to diverse communities who lived together with respect, peace, and harmony. The way he presented the story of the Jewish community reflects positivity, empathy, and the true spirit of coexistence. It is important to acknowledge that these communities were not outsiders; they were part of our social fabric and contributed to the development and cultural richness of Pakistan. Such storytelling helps us remember that our strength has always been in diversity and mutual respect. I would also suggest that Mudasir Nazir consider making a similar documentary about Sindhi Hindus who greatly contributed to Sindh and Pakistan, especially in Karachi and other areas. Many of them migrated to India and other countries over time, but their contributions, heritage and memories remain deeply connected to this land. Highlighting such stories will further promote peace, understanding, and appreciation for the communities that once shaped our shared history.
Informative documentary aur andaz e bayan bhi bht acha
Amazing research work, appreciated!
بہت اچھی ڈاکومنٹری، بہت شکریہ زاویہ کا، بہت سے بند باب دوبارہ سے کھولنے اور ہمیں حقیقت سے روشناس کروانے کے لئے۔
Thanks a lot for making this Taboo Topic for Pakistanis. It's not related to Jews community only but also our beloved city Karachi... You can't take out Karachi from the heart of Karachi born person, and that's I observed, I can feel how much Jews from Karachi missing their birth place and childhood memories. You can take out the person from Karachi but you can't take out Karachi for that person's heart... May Allah swt protect Karachi and the people of Karachi and Pakistan forever and keep the love of Karachi in their heart and I wish in shaa Allah these Jews will see again their city Karachi in future!!! Aameen
What a absolute brilliant and informative documentary. Really really appreciate the efforts put into this🙌
