in 2003 and have to say have been most disappointed with the drastic changes
that

I left Karachi in 1959 - some 50 years ago and went back just a couple of times

once in 1972 and the 2nd in 1989. Prior to partition in 1947, Karachi was an

Do you have any contacts with high Indian Government officials? A
friend of mine and I were born in Karachi but no longer have any
connections there, are Roman Catholics (not Muslims), I have been away
from Karachi for 51 years and my friend some 20 years but, despite this,
