Karachi Vice: Life and Death in a Contested City by Samira Shackle
4.0
Amazing book. This book overall is on political parties that affected the lives of the people that the author interviewed and researched. The 5 people she mentioned are from as Karachiiet say ‘pull k is paar’ (the other side of pull) where there is a struggle, hard work, dirt, filth, drugs, shooting, and minor crime like theft, etc for the people. The author is from the other side pull where there are facilities, peace, high society.
This book is captured a great deal of struggle that normal people go through where there is political pressure, or because of political issues and parties and government how the low class, low to middle class, and also the middle-class lives are affected by it.
In the 5 people named Safdar, Zille, Parveen, Jannat, and Siraj. Safdar Story is the most emotional for me. Abdul Sattar Edhi May Allah is pleased with him and his action what he did for the nation is respected.
Also, I want to mention the most important thing that I felt a twitch when I read that was it mentioned in a book that
"Ashura is particularly holy for Shias. It marks the death of Imam Hussein the Grandson of Prophet SAW and the Son of Ali RA, WHO FOUNDED SHIA ISLAM"
I MEAN NO, NONE of them FOUNDED SHIA sect, but people themselves made it up that we need to learn history that Ali RA time or at Hussein RA time there we supporters and haters but Hussein Ibn Ali himself believed in what Rasool Allah SAW taught his companions and us.
