Considered to be one of
Considered to be one of the most desperate slum areas in South Asia, Lyari is also the largest slum in Pakistan’s sprawling, unpredictable and edgy metropolis, Karachi.
In the last decade or so, Lyari has constantly been appearing in the news whenever Karachi erupts into ethnic or gang-related violence. This is not to suggest that this area was a bastion of peace before the 2000s; but it is true that the political and criminal violence emerging within and from Lyari in the last 10 years has had a bigger impact on Karachi than ever before.
Criminal gangs dealing in drugs, guns, kidnapping and land scams with some of them even enjoying patronage from assorted political outfits and groups are a common sight in the narrow, crooked and overpopulated streets of Lyari.
But all this was not a sudden phenomenon emerging in the last decade or so. Nor is this all what Lyari is about.
I have never been so overwhelmed with kindness from complete strangers. Based on the locals the I spoke with, a lot has changed in Lyari over the last 10 years, and I am happy that I got the opportunity to spend my afternoon there.
