The “Eastern Monarch” ablaze in Spithead, 3rd June 1859, by Arthur Wellington Fowles (1815-1883)

Built at Dundee in 1856, the full-rigged “Eastern Monarch”, 1,844 tons, was owned by Somes Brothers of London and traded regularly between Dundee and India. Early in 1859, as she was loading cargo at Karachi, she was chartered by the Indian government to bring home a large contingent of sick and wounded troops in the aftermath of the Indian Mutiny, some of whom were accompanied by their wives and children. After a cramped but otherwise uneventful voyage, “Eastern Monarch” arrived at Spithead in the early hours of 3rd June [1859] with almost 500 people aboard including 352 invalid soldiers, 30 women and 53 children. At 2.30am., about an hour after the vessel had dropped anchor, a loud explosion was heard closely followed by billowing smoke and flame. With the ship’s ports all open for ventilation, the initial fire spread rapidly; despite the valiant efforts of the officers and crew however, the blaze could not be brought under control and the ship was soon ablaze from stem to stern.

Thanks to perfect discipline amongst the troops, there was no panic and those aboard were ferried ashore by two sailing barges, “Providence “ and “Petrel”, which came alongside, as did boats from H.M. ships “Falcon” and “Flying Fish”, both anchored nearby. The prompt actions of the rescue craft saved all but eight persons but the ship herself was totally destroyed, it was believed, by the spontaneous combustion of a quantity of saltpetre amongst her cargo.

KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) — Dozens of members from Pakistan's civil society rallied on Tuesday in the southern port city of Karachi against the death sentence handed down to a Christian man on blasphemy charges, nearly a year after one of the worst mob attacks on Christians in the country.

Several Christians also joined the rally which comes a day after a court in Sahiwal in the Punjab province announced the death sentence to Ehsan Shan after finding him guilty of sharing “hateful content" against Muslims on social media.

Shan's lawyer Khurram Shahzad said on Monday he will appeal the verdict.

He was arrested in August 2023 after groups of Muslim men burned dozens of homes and churches in the city of Jaranwala in Punjab after some residents claimed they saw two Christian men desecrating pages from Islam’s holy book, the Quran. The two men were later arrested.

Though Shan was not party to the desecration, he was accused of reposting the defaced pages of the Quran on his TikTok account.

At Tuesday's rally in Karachi, a Christian leader Luke Victor, called for Shah's release.

He also demanded action against those who were involved in burning churches and homes of Christians in Jaranwala.

Blasphemy accusations are common in Pakistan. Under the country’s blasphemy laws, anyone found guilty of insulting Islam or Islamic religious figures can be sentenced to death. While authorities have yet to carry out a death sentence for blasphemy, often a mere accusation can cause riots and incite mobs to violence, lynching and killings.

In early 2022, when Daniyal Ahmed set off on a road trip from Karachi in Pakistan into the neighbouring province of Balochistan , his only contacts were a few distant connections who he hoped would lead him to a legendary musician within the region. After circling villages near Pasni, a fishing port on the Arabian sea about a six-hour drive from Karachi, Ahmed by chance spotted Ustad Noor Bakhsh on the side of a lonely road sitting next to his broken motorbike, waiting for help.

Ahmed is an anthropologist who teaches at Habib University, and had been chasing down masters like Bakhsh in remote regions across Pakistan. Bakhsh was already well known within Balochistan both as a solo benju (a type of zither) player and as Balochi vocalist Sabzal Sami’s accompanist for three decades. Ahmed was alerted to Bakhsh’s talents after he saw a video of him playing circulating on Facebook. A musician himself, he’s invested in amplifying regional talent that has become obscured in a country lacking robust infrastructure to support musicians, especially those who play traditional music.

When Ahmed told Bakhsh about his work, he was invited to stay, and over five days recorded an album’s worth of music by Bakhsh. In clips of sunset jams near the Shadi Kaur creek, Bakhsh sits cross-legged with his electric benju – his right hand expertly plucking strings on the base, his left moving rapidly up and down the keys on the neck – playing everything from Balochi compositions to Bollywood favourites, flanked by two damburag players, each holding a long-necked lute and keeping the beat.

Ahmed wasn’t just blown away by Bakhsh’s technique, but his ability to improvise, and play across forms. “The playing is virtuosic – it’s totally full of this spiritual energy,” says Ahmed, who has since become his manager. That first meeting changed both of their lives within a year. Ahmed’s Instagram stories of Bakhsh playing went viral, leading to press in Pakistan and India, an invitation to perform at Boiler Room’s debut broadcast in Karachi last June and then release an album, Jingul, in September, which received acclaim from Pitchfork. This summer, at the age of 78, he embarked on a 10-country European tour, including the huge Roskilde festival in Denmark.

ᴅᴇᴄᴇᴍʙᴇʀ 16

Fifty-three years ago, on December 16, 1971, the Indian Armed Forces achieved a major victory against the Pakistan Army. The war lasted for 13 days and ended on this day with almost 93,000 Pakistani forces surrendering.

It was India’s front that changed the map of South Asia and led to the liberation of a new country, Bangladesh, which was known as East Pakistan before. On this day, which is known as Vijay Diwas, India pays tributes to the brave soldiers who sacrificed their lives during the war.

𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆

After India gained independence in 1947, Pakistan was divided into two parts – East Pakistan and West Pakistan. Discrimination against the Bengalis in the east, including the disregard for their Bengali language, led to a lot of tensions, which were also fuelled by economic disparities and power imbalances.

In 1970, the Awami League, led by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, won an election. The Pakistan People’s Party, unwilling to give up power, led to rising tensions. By mid-1971, Bangladesh, formerly East Pakistan, declared independence from Pakistan, triggering violence and forcing many refugees into India.

On March 26, 1971, East Pakistan officially declared their independence and India’s Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi, supported their fight for independence.

The war unfolded as a response to the atrocities in East Pakistan. On December 4, 1971, India initiated Operation Trident, a surprise attack on Karachi port by the Indian Navy’s Western Naval Command. Simultaneously, Mukti Bahini guerrillas joined forces with the Indian military against Pakistani troops.

A crucial turning point occurred on December 14 when the Indian Air Force targeted a meeting in East Pakistan. This move shook Pakistan, initiating the surrender process on December 16, 1971, by the Pakistani Army. This marked the end of the conflict, and Bangladesh emerged as an independent nation. Bangladeshis also celebrate this day and it is known as ‘Bijoy Dibos'

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘀 𝗩𝗶𝗷𝗮𝘆 𝗗𝗶𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱?

On 16 December, Vijay Diwas is observed in India. Deeply rooted in respect and remembrance, this day is observed by people in India in different ways.

The day begins with the hoisting of the national flag at half-mast, a sombre acknowledgement of the sacrifices made by the brave soldiers. As the tricolour flutters in the wind, a two-minute silence envelops the country, a moment of reflection to honour the courage and commitment of those who laid down their lives for the greater good.

Veterans are felicitated in various ceremonies held across the nation, their presence a living testament to the resilience and dedication that defined the spirit of 1971. These events serve not only as a mark of gratitude but also as an opportunity for the nation to express its collective appreciation for the sacrifices made by the armed forces.

Central to the Vijay Diwas celebration is the iconic Victory Flame ceremony. The flame, kindled at the National War Memorial in Delhi, symbolises the undying spirit of the Indian Armed Forces. Carried by a relay of uniformed personnel, the flame traverses through different regions of the country, illuminating the path with a message of unity and resolve. The journey culminates in a grand ceremony in the capital, where the flame is ceremoniously merged with the eternal flame at the Amar Jawan Jyoti.

𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗩𝗶𝗷𝗮𝘆 𝗗𝗶𝘄𝗮𝘀:

Vijay Diwas, celebrated on 16th December, is a significant milestone in the history of the Indian subcontinent, symbolising not just a military victory but a triumph of justice, unity, and humanitarian values. The profound importance of this day resonates through several key aspects that have left an enduring impact on the collective consciousness.

▪️Triumph of Justice: Vijay Diwas is inseparably linked to the call for justice and human rights during the Bangladesh Liberation War. The conflict arose from the mistreatment of East Pakistan by West Pakistan, and the intervention by the Indian Armed Forces was a resolute response to rectify these injustices. The day marks the triumph of justice over oppression, where the courage and commitment of the armed forces became a beacon of hope for those yearning for freedom.

▪️National Unity: The Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, culminating in Vijay Diwas, showcased the strength of national unity. The armed forces, despite facing formidable challenges, operated with a shared purpose, and the support of the people further fortified their resolve. The victory was not merely a military one; it was a testament to the power of a united nation standing resolutely against injustice.

▪️Humanitarian Impact: The creation of Bangladesh emerged as a beacon of hope and a new beginning for millions who had suffered under oppressive rule. The conflict had displaced countless individuals, and the emergence of a new nation offered the promise of freedom and a chance to rebuild shattered lives.

The humanitarian impact of Vijay Diwas is embedded in the stories of ordinary people who, despite enduring immense hardships, found renewed hope in the liberation of Bangladesh. It underscores the positive repercussions that arise from collective efforts in times of crisis. The conflict was not just about territorial gains; it was a mission to restore human dignity and pave the way for a better future.

The significance of Vijay Diwas, therefore, extends far beyond the military sphere. It represents a shared commitment to justice, a collective stand for human rights, and a testament to the resilience of nations in the face of adversity. As the nation observes Vijay Diwas each year, it is not merely a commemoration of a historical event; it is a reaffirmation of the values that bind us together — the pursuit of justice, the strength of unity, and the enduring spirit of human.

𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗩𝗶𝗷𝗮𝘆 𝗗𝗶𝘄𝗮𝘀:

Liberation of Bangladesh: The primary outcome of the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971 was the liberation of Bangladesh. The victory of the Indian Armed Forces led to the creation of an independent nation.

▪️Surrender at Dhaka: One of the most significant moments of the war was the surrender of the Pakistani forces in Dhaka on December 16, 1971, which marked the formal conclusion of the conflict.

▪️Numerical Supremacy: The Indo-Pakistani War of 1971 showcased the strategic prowess of the Indian Armed Forces, who achieved victory despite being numerically outnumbered.

▪️Humanitarian Impact: Beyond the military aspect, the war had a profound humanitarian impact. The conflict led to millions being displaced, and the subsequent creation of Bangladesh offered a new beginning for the people of the region.

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻:

Celebrated on 16th December, Vijay Diwas stands as a testament to the unwavering spirit of justice, unity, and humanitarian values that define the history of the Indian subcontinent. The commemoration of this day serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by brave soldiers who fought not only for territorial gains but, more significantly, for the principles of justice and human rights.

The historical context leading to the 1971 Indo-Pakistani War reflects the deep-seated injustices and disparities that sparked a quest for independence in Bangladesh. The conflict, fueled by the commitment of the Indian Armed Forces and the Mukti Bahini, culminated in the surrender of the Pakistani forces in Dhaka. This victory celebrated as Vijay Diwas in India and ‘Bijoy Dibos’ in Bangladesh, ushered in a new era of freedom and hope for millions who had endured oppression.

As the nation observes Vijay Diwas each year, it is not merely a historical commemoration but a reaffirmation of shared values. It is a call to remember the resilience of nations in the face of adversity, the pursuit of justice, and the enduring spirit of humanity. The day prompts us to reflect on the sacrifices made and express gratitude to our brave forces, who have dedicated their lives to keep our country safe.

Customized Ready-Made Concrete Solutions for Projects in Karachi

 Karachi, the bustling metropolitan hub of Pakistan, is a city that never sleeps, with construction projects ranging from high-rise buildings to intricate infrastructure. In this dynamic environment, the demand for high-quality, efficient, and durable construction materials is ever-growing. One solution that stands out for its versatility and reliability is ready-made concrete in Karachi. Tailored to the specific needs of diverse construction projects, ready-made concrete offers unparalleled benefits for builders, contractors, and architects.

Understanding Ready-Made Concrete

Ready-made concrete, also known as ready-mix concrete, is a precisely batched mix of cement, aggregates, water, and sometimes admixtures, prepared in a factory or batching plant. Delivered to construction sites in a ready-to-use form, it eliminates the need for on-site mixing, ensuring consistency, precision, and efficiency in every pour.

In Karachi, where construction challenges include extreme weather conditions, tight deadlines, and complex project requirements, ready-made concrete has become a cornerstone of modern construction practices.

Why Choose Ready-Made Concrete for Projects in Karachi?

1. Time Efficiency

Karachi’s fast-paced construction industry thrives on efficiency. Ready-made concrete saves significant time by arriving pre-mixed, allowing construction teams to focus on application rather than preparation. This is especially beneficial for projects with tight deadlines, such as commercial developments or infrastructure upgrades.

2. Consistent Quality

Manual mixing can lead to variations in concrete quality, which can compromise the integrity of a structure. Ready-made concrete is prepared in controlled environments, ensuring uniformity in mix ratios and performance. This consistency is crucial for ensuring the long-term durability of projects in Karachi’s diverse climate.

3. Customized Solutions

Each construction project has unique requirements. Ready-made concrete providers in Karachi offer customized mixes tailored to specific needs, such as higher strength for high-rise buildings or lightweight concrete for specific applications.

4. Cost-Effectiveness

Although ready-made concrete may appear more expensive upfront, its efficiency and reduced labor costs make it a cost-effective solution. Additionally, it minimizes material wastage, further contributing to savings.

5. Eco-Friendly Option

With increasing awareness of sustainable construction practices, ready-made concrete is gaining popularity for its ability to reduce environmental impact. Precise batching and reduced on-site mixing lower energy consumption and material wastage.

Applications of Ready-Made Concrete in Karachi

High-Rise Buildings

Karachi’s skyline is constantly evolving with new high-rise residential and commercial projects. Ready-made concrete is ideal for such structures due to its ability to meet high-strength requirements and ensure seamless vertical transportation through concrete pumps.

Infrastructure Projects

From bridges and flyovers to ports and highways, infrastructure projects in Karachi demand durable and weather-resistant materials. Ready-made concrete meets these needs with mixes designed for heavy loads and environmental resilience.

Residential Developments

In residential construction, ready-made concrete ensures the safety and longevity of homes, whether they are standalone houses or apartment complexes. Its versatility makes it suitable for foundations, walls, and decorative applications.

Industrial Projects

Factories, warehouses, and industrial facilities require concrete that can withstand heavy machinery and constant wear. Customized ready-made concrete solutions cater to these demands, offering high-performance materials for industrial construction.

Choosing the Right Ready-Made Concrete Provider in Karachi

Selecting the right supplier is critical to the success of any construction project. Here are key considerations:

Reputation and Experience

Look for suppliers with a proven track record in Karachi’s construction industry. Experienced providers understand the local market and its challenges, ensuring reliable service.

Range of Mixes

A good supplier offers a variety of concrete mixes tailored to different applications. This flexibility ensures you can find the perfect solution for your project’s needs.

Quality Assurance

Ensure the supplier adheres to strict quality control measures, including testing for compressive strength, durability, and workability.

Delivery and Logistics

Timely delivery is crucial for maintaining project schedules. Choose a supplier with efficient logistics and modern equipment to ensure prompt and reliable service.

Sustainability Practices

If environmental impact is a concern, opt for a supplier that prioritizes eco-friendly practices, such as using recycled materials or reducing carbon emissions during production.

The Role of Technology in Ready-Made Concrete

Advancements in technology have significantly enhanced the production and application of ready-made concrete in Karachi.

Smart Batching Plants

Modern batching plants use automated systems to ensure precise mixing of ingredients. This eliminates human error and guarantees consistent quality in every batch.

Mobile Concrete Pumps

Mobile pumps enable easy transportation of ready-made concrete to different levels of a construction site. This is particularly useful for high-rise buildings and expansive projects.

Admixtures for Enhanced Performance

Innovative admixtures improve the properties of ready-made concrete, such as setting time, strength, and workability. This allows builders to tackle specific challenges, like Karachi’s high temperatures or heavy monsoon rains.

Challenges in Using Ready-Made Concrete in Karachi

Urban Congestion

Delivering ready-made concrete through Karachi’s busy streets can be challenging. Suppliers must plan logistics carefully to avoid delays.

Weather Conditions

High temperatures and humidity levels can affect the workability of concrete. Suppliers often use additives to address these issues and maintain performance.

Cost Management

While ready-made concrete offers long-term savings, managing upfront costs requires careful budgeting and planning.

Future Trends in Ready-Made Concrete

Sustainable Construction

As the construction industry moves towards greener practices, ready-made concrete is evolving to include sustainable options like low-carbon cement and recycled aggregates.

Digital Integration

The use of digital tools, such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) and real-time tracking systems, is enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of ready-made concrete applications.

High-Performance Mixes

Advances in materials science are leading to the development of ultra-high-performance concrete, which offers exceptional strength and durability for demanding applications.

Partnering with the Best

For builders and developers in Karachi, partnering with a trusted supplier is key to ensuring project success. Providers like Allied Materials offer high-quality ready-made concrete in Karachi, tailored to meet the unique challenges of local construction projects.

Whether you’re building a skyscraper, a bridge, or a family home, ready-made concrete provides the strength, durability, and flexibility needed to bring your vision to life.

Conclusion

Ready-made concrete has revolutionized Karachi’s construction landscape, offering a reliable and efficient solution for a wide range of projects. Its ability to deliver consistent quality, customized mixes, and eco-friendly options makes it an indispensable choice for modern builders.

🚨 Pakistan has once again been struck by a devastating terror attack!

💥 In a horrifying incident, terrorists executed a suicide bombing near Karachi's Jinnah International Airport, leaving behind a tragic trail of destruction, killing and injuring many innocent lives.

🇵🇰💔 Among those killed were 2 Chinese nationals working for the Port Qasim Electric Power company, adding further gravity to this senseless act of violence!

🧐𝐖𝐡𝐲? - Due to anti-China sentiments in the country. - The Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) has taken responsibility for the attack. - The group seeks the independence of Balochistan and is against Pakistan’s blatant discrimination and extortion of the region’s resources! - The group is against China since it believes that the China-Pak duo will exploit the region’s resources while the people gain nothing! - As a result, the group carries out attacks on Pakistani outposts and Chinese projects/personnel!! 😲𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐲: - This is the third such attack on Chinese nationals this year! - And there have been several such terror attacks on Pakistani soil this year!! - China has called for Pakistani authorities to investigate the attack and ensure the “safety of Chinese citizens, institutions, and projects in Pakistan”. ❓𝚆̲𝚑̲𝚎̲𝚗̲ 𝚠̲𝚒̲𝚕̲𝚕̲ 𝙿̲𝚊̲𝚔̲𝚒̲𝚜̲𝚝̲𝚊̲𝚗̲ 𝚏̲𝚒̲𝚗̲𝚍̲ 𝚙̲𝚎̲𝚊̲𝚌̲𝚎̲??
