Sectarian Importation: A Governance Failure, Not a Cultural One
Karachi’s identity has always been plural—Sunni, Shia, Barelvi, Deobandi, Muhajir, Sindhi, Pashtun, Baloch, Parsis, Zoroastrians —coexisting through commerce and culture. The city’s current fragmentation reflects external ideological importation, not indigenous temperament. When municipal writ weakens, organized extremism fills the vacuum.
This is not about theology. It is about who governs the street. Where inspectors don’t inspect and police don’t deter, mobilizers do. Reclaiming Karachi requires restoring civic authority, not amplifying sectarian binaries.
