    VICE Guide to Karachi

    This is a really great documentary filled with black humor about the culture of gang wars and political assassinations in Karachi. Those strapped for time must at least watch Parts 3 and 4 which focus on Pushtun slums in Karachi .

    What goes on in Karachi barely ever makes it to the news. Karachi is sort of like a country, that has several states with different rulers. Police, and all other institutions rarely hold any weight in that mega city. It once got to a point where Pashtuns and Muhajirs would cut each others ears, for a tit-for-tat response. I've lost a very good friend of mine in this ongoing bloodshed in Karachi. May Allah bring peace to the region.

    A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai

    For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."


    The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

    -Ferishta, 1560–1620
