The small island of Mai Kolachi has travelled from 1729 to the present day, becoming the world’s second-largest city in 2020, and a major industrial and financial centre. With The largest port and airport, a never-ending array of buildings and lights on the deep Indus coast!
Karachi has passed through several passages, this small village of Sindhi traders mostly ( Hindu’s) and fishermen, which was under the rule of Jokhia Jam, fell in hands of Khan Kalat, in 1795, it was recovered by Mir Talpurs. On February 3, 1839, when East India Company ships landed on the shores of Karachi, they attacked and destroyed the Mud fort of Karachi, After the Battle of Mayani in 1942-43, Major General Charles took complete control of Sindh and Karachi was made the capital of Sindh. Karachi Port was established in 1854. The port of Karachi was developed in 1899 as the largest port in South Asia. Seeing such progress, within few years, Parsis, Christians, Jews, Marathi merchants and artisans settled in Karachi.
When the British left the region in 1947, Karachi was the only political place and economical hub to work, at that time, the population of Karachi was about four and a half million, while the Immigrants flooded from India, which continued till 1960, that process changed demographics of Karachi. This engineered settlement was done intentionally by Punjab to play with the demography of Sindh especially Karachi. Karachi was the first capital of Pakistan. However, with the help of One Unit, the capital of Pakistan was shifted to Punjab in 1958 and all foreign embassies also migrated to Punjab.
Most of the institutions and industrial units of Sindh were also taken to Punjab but the enemies of Sindh could not stop the development of the heart of Sindh.
Punjab has mistreated and conspired about Karachi since day one, in the ’40s till ’60s By bringing immigrants, applying one unit later federal forces created riots between 1980 and 1990 and the army and Rangers were deployed in Karachi and Karachi was turned into a stronghold of military and extremist groups.
From the time of Zulfiqar Bhutto to the time of Pervez Musharraf, large-scale resettlement in Karachi and the conspiracy to convert Sindhis into minorities continued. Whether it was quota issues or development work or Karachi institutions, all parties together have destroyed Karachi. They wanted a federal unit, so the army played a role to worsen the situation in Karachi so they could justify the separation of Karachi from Sindh.
In 2020, the population of Karachi is estimated to be around 16 million, but actually could be estimated at around 20 million, Because the real owners ( Sindhi’s) of Karachi’s rural settlements and island inhabitants often do not reach for the census. The migration of real Sindhi Hindus from Karachi is continuously increasing till now, The PPP, however, is also involved in turning Sindhis into a minority in Karachi.
They are always ahead in the cycle of robbery in the destruction of Karachi. Although the PPP has been dominant in Sindh for some time, Asif Ali Zardari with Malik Riaz when plans like Bahria Town were made for foreigners when the people of Sindhi old villages were also forced to leave Karachi. The bureaucrats of Sindh mostly Punjabi retired military personnel were also involved in the process of settling outsiders in Sindh especially Karachi.
The immigrants considered Karachi as a separate entity from Sindh and negotiate with the countries of the world for occupation. Sometimes a refugee province or sometimes a native of Jinnahpur province! After all, it was the Pakistani army they called ‘half part yours half part ours’.
Never considered the other Sindh as Motherland of historical secular Sindhi nation, they always attacked the strong unity of Sindh. Now Mr Altaf Hussain of MQM has finally realized that the ideology of Sain GM Syed was true and has adopted the slogan of Sindhu Desh, but the coming months or years will be important in this matter that where this story will go? While the MQM-Pakistan were measuring their clothes, they seem to have misunderstood that if the federal government came to power they would lose everything.
Here are some facts about highly desirable investment in Karachi;
In 2006, when Amar started building a new city on Karachi’s Bandal Bhandar Island and Bodo Island, but political conditions in Karachi deteriorated, they abandoned the project.
It was a 12,000-acre project worth 43billion.
The same project was started by Malik Riaz and Thoams Kramer in 2013 with 20 billion, but due to the chaotic situation in Karachi, the project could not go ahead, which had to settle between five million people.
However, now Imran Khan has visited Karachi and then China, he has announced that China Defense Innovation is reinvesting on the island with the city. This will include the construction of a new town on Zulfiqar abad , twin islands and the 1,2000 acres from Jhampir to the coastal region.
China’s CPEC, first announced in 2013, was 46 billion, the second announced amount was 62 billion in 2017, with the latest figures now reaching multi-billion project.
Some important China’s projects in Sindh, mostly in Karachi:
1- Thar-1 project,
2- Thar-2 project and coal mine
3- Thar Engro Coal Project,
4- Matiari. Lahore transmission line
5- LPG pipeline from Gwadar to Nawabshah

11- Railway projects and highway projects.
12. Karachi. 4 canal project 14 billion.
13- Port Qasim Oil and Gas Storage Facilities.
14 – Biotechnology Project

Despite this, there are many more projects, especially in Karachi, now in the current phase of privatization of the Steel Mill and Airport, while China owns about 50% of the shares on the Karachi Stock Exchange. At present there are forty companies of china in Karachi, they had to invest billions of dollars, buy full authority to ensure their protection,
when China can control the gateway of South Asia, by entering the hot water today can access the markets of the Arabian Sea and Central Asia at no cost, Gwadar port was a theory, now china`s original eyes are on Karachi. Colonialism is not only snatching the rights of local people but also destroying the culture & changing demographics of Sindh, these all conspiracies indicates that Punjab is ready to sell Sindh to China and Sindh will become a permanent colony of CCP.
