What Balds videos have taught me, is that when you approach people and situations with confidence and, most importantly an open heart, people are far better than our preconceptions let us believe.
I experienced the same while travelling. Every country shittalks about some places they never visited. As much as danger exists, everywhere there are certain ethics all humans follow.
It’s interesting how he’s able to disarm people by being open and humorous towards them. Though i do wonder what happens in the parts he cuts out. Even in this video there’s some sudden time jumps where the mood has definitely changed and it seems a bad interaction may have happened that was edited out.
Thank you for all the uploads over the years. I love the way you mix history lessons in with the content and your authentic & honest approach. (The only person I can watch who creates long videos like this without ever getting bored)
Lmao, the most randomest comment. Who would’ve thought you were a fan of Bald 😂 🫡 you should check out his mate Timmy Karter if you rockin with Bald as well. Their La Bestia video was top 🔥
Even the single city of Chennai gets more money than the entire province of Punjab (Pakistan) Chennai - 8 million people Punjab - 100+ million And you guys tell we are poor?
It's because he's a foreigner they have no issue with you. If he was from a another group they didn't like it would be different. It's like going into gang areas in America. It's dangerous but they'll typical leave you alone because you're not involved. @@Nomad454
The whole Pakistan faced terrorist attacks after the war began in Afghanistan in 2001. Almost 80,000 lives were lost in these terrorist attacks between 2001-2020. Cities like Quetta, Peshawar and KPK were hit the most because of bordering with Afghanistan.
This man makes the best vlogs on UA-cam. He has real guts to do what he does. It is his charrisma that endears him to the most diverse people in the World. Brilliant, this is REAL travelling.
I am a Pakistani, and i will think twice before visiting these areas in Karachi while holding a camera....You are brave and lucky enough. And this means people in there are friendly and kind to foreigner's.
You could tell that guard in the back of the police truck was a genuine guy the way he rejected the hand shake when they dropped Yous off and went for a hug instead what a wholesome guy man
It'd be really easy to make a channel like this where he sensationalizes and puts down the places or the local people of the places he goes. Even subtly. But he never does.
I want to tell you guys a story. I got so inspired by Bald to travel the way he does and took an impromptu trip to Nepal and Bhutan last July. I went without booking a return ticket and traveled by land from Nepal to Bhutan via India. I spoke with many many folks on the way (this was never my way to travel previously) and I have some 20 new friends now! I don't want to bore you with a long story, so I'll just mention the highlight of my trip. I met two guys - Nishchal and Bijay on a bus from Kathmandu and Pokhara. They are still very good friends and we keep pinging each other from time to time. I checked on them when there was an earthquake in Nepal, and they did the same when Chennai was flooded in December. I was in Pokhara for a week, and Nishchal would come every evening to my hotel to pick me up to show me new places or introduce me to more of his friends. Among the many people I met, I also learned about what they were doing in their lives, careers, etc., and connected unrelated people with each other based on their mutual interests. Bijay is an environmental engineer, and I introduced him to a guy whose mission is to keep the water bodies of Nepal safe (nobody pays him to do that, he samples the water quality and stuff on his own). I am reminded of that incident when Bald introduces Kolya to another lonely villager who lives nearby. I think I've unlocked some inner superpower by suppressing that awkwardness while meeting and talking to new people. Even Nishchal and Bijay told me that although they've made the journey from Kathmandu to Pokhara countless times, they've never spoken to a stranger before. Thank you Bald, here's to a long, healthy, peaceful, and prosperous life mate 🍻
Riding along on that man’s motorbike and saying hello to all the other folks on bikes riding past was so cool. Everyone just seemed to want to say hi to the weird bald white guy! I quite like the never ending kindness that Bald seems to encounter along his journeys. Is it because he’s always so casual and friendly with everyone he meets? Is it because the vast majority of humans are actually friendly and nice? Who can say. But I hope that you continue to travel and meet nice people.
The majority of humans are friendly, especially to visitors. Its not just because bald is nice, makes effort with language. People are kind to the likes of backpacker ben & even prats like, me! Travel with a smile & the world will befriend you & buy you coffee. FAST!
The people of Pakistan are some of the most friendly people you'll meet. It's not a coincidence that out of all of his vlogs, the people in this vlog were some of the friendliest we have seen.
Bald is my favourite youtuber and let me tell you why.. 1. This man has wide knowledge about the history of place and he knows how to explain it in details and emotions 2. He indulge himself in the place by speaking their language and over that he is good in making friends 3. He is not cocky and respect the culture of that place and knows the customs and cultures No ads,no shorts just pure content
@@kevintheminion1497That was part of the point man, he didn’t need to go through Darien in order to reach Mexico. It is about the journey and documenting the roughest regions.
Wide knowledge hahaha - just because he knows a bit more than you doesn't mean he has "wide knowledge" As to the language - he repeats the same words over and over - in Sindh they have their own language, and the same in Baluchistan and by his own admission he doesnt speak either; he knows some Hindi which is similar to Urdu
@@jaihind101bharatgood?? Maybe good for endian standards but he visited the refugee camp of Karachi.... 90% population in Orangi town are refugees from different countries
Yeah, can you imagine the smell though , this guy bald has travelled the globe several times , his stomach would have adapted to the not so sanitary food and the strange untreated water that the food is cooked in would be a shock to the system of a first timer , they even have a great name for it "deli belly"
Hey bald parts of Pakistan you visited were next to border with afghanistan and iran as expected to be rough being border cities like detroit near canadian border or hamilton of canada.i am also surprise as to no visit or showing cities like lahore islamabad skardu hunza valley and only country in world with most 8000 plus meters high peaks and biggest glacier outside antartic region. No mughal history and how British colonialized and oppressed people of this region. This was not complete and actual picture of pakistan. Even this was Ben's third visit to Pakistan, he got so much love in pakistan and probably have dozens of videos showing the beauty and hospitality of this land. On the other hand communism seems to inspire you and what it did to the people during that time. World know about Stalins barbaric era. Before partition pakistan india being one country were very prosperous and wealthy however when British came over to trade but then backstabbed bringing military and colonized india. During more then 100 years under colonialism British seems to gutted this region by trillions of dollars in today's wealth. One more thing if you Google Dharavi in Mumbai india is the biggest slum of Asia. Also want to mention how British responsible of millions of death during partition by providing no security and backpacking entire resources before partition causing bloodshed and anarchy. Till this day Pakistan and india suffering over Kashmir, thanks to hard working British people who divided this country. Also want to mention that thanks to your country that whole world is dealing with issue of Hamas Palestine and Israel. Please do not glorify colonialism and communism.
The fact you are so well versed in the history and the struggle of the people you introduce us to make these videos so enjoyable to watch. Nobody wants to watch an Instagram blonde go places and meet people when she totally ignorant to their life and struggles as much as they would want to watch you!
Are we even watching the same video, mate? There was no empathy with the struggle of the people, just making fun and looking down upon it. Crazy how that was seen as a good thing.
I don't usually comment on videos, but I just want to say how much I admire you for being able of speaking so many languages and being able to communicate with everyone, everywhere
It makes a huge difference in the reception that you get. It’s a mark of respect to take the trouble to interact personally. I have no facility with language, unlike Benjamin but I will try a few words if I can.
Tourists don't go to unsafe border areas where militants and terrorists could kidnap or kill them. Pakistan is a large country with so much to offer in terms of sight seeing and culture. Ben should go to Punjab, Sindh, KPK, or Gilgit Baltistan regions that are safe to travel.
Why risk life for the sake of content when you already know it's not safe to travel to the border. There are so many other places to visit in Pakistan. Good that the authorities sent them back to Karachi.
@@ShakilaKhatoon-d3bBald is no regular tourist. He goes where no normal tourist would ever go. Not even internenal tourists. I guess that is why he never comes here to Sweden. If he did I would show him the worst places.
That’s what happened when you don’t know the area.. it’s like a kid who just do whatever he/she wants because he/she’s excited and doesn’t care about the danger.
mate it makes me so happy seeing you speak so many languages and actually pronounce the names of places properly. it's so refreshing. been following your travels for years and you're 100% my favourite content creator!
Notice the lack of beeping horns, and people shitting on the streets. And this is the worst Pakistan has to offer right here! Compare this to even an urban indian city and youll see the difference.
pakistan doesnt have 800 million poor people . its true but thats the sad reality of india . there are millions of people under below poverty line and another millions just barely surviving . the top 10 % hold 90 % of the country assets . 10% of 1.5 billion is 150 million and they usually live in gated societies with parts of cities specific corned to cater the latter . rest the country is trying to improve . 20 years ago there wasnt even 150 million indians to atleast make a decent living upto global standards . there's a long way to go for india . its a devloping 3rd world country with a population of entire europe and north america combined , its gonna take time to atleast built a decent society with civil manners.
If I heard correctly (and it's very possible I didn't) the fella at 28:40 said he spoke Brahui? If so, that's an interesting language. It's related to the languages of south India, and its the furthest flung of all the languages of the Dravidian groups of languages. Pre history is very mysterious, but many people believe that this language is the last remnant of the languages spoken in the Indus valley or Harappan civilisation still in that region, before Sanskrit entered the region.
That is thrilling! I'm sure someone is studying it. What would it be like to learn that language and speak it with another person? Your thoughts/those words.
@@orchidorioI think that would be absolutely amazing to learn to speak a certain language from someone that speaks it naturally, it would be almost as beautiful as bathing elephants whilst taking mushrooms that come from said elephants!
Yes he said that he speaks Brahui. It's a commonly spoken language in Quetta & it's surroundings. Brahui is the third most spoken language in Quetta after Pashto & Persian (by the hazara tribe of Quetta)
no there is no proof of that harrapan have different language south style came after it its not it was different language bot it even that harrapan civilization use symbole type language and wh is language was that the trade group and frontier group where send by south kings to defend bharat India so ya its not same soutjh type language came after Harrapan see the written of Harrapan not even close south language where came after harrapan civilization and sanskrit was developed in central India and spread after that and given to that symbole so no there is no proof and acedmics don't agree with it just google it
I admire the care taken with your safety by the authorities. It’s commendable if frustrating for you. The friendliness of the locals in the towns is striking.
The police weren't there to protect them but to have an eye on them. They aren't police but their undercover intelligence agents. You might need to google how their intelligence agents hide in the sheeps dress. Pakistan is not the place you want to visit ever.
@@PVRTYANIMAL are you aware of what is going on in this location as we speak. How would it assist their tourism industry to have their fatalities on their hands.
The People of Pakistan are Loving friendly people and that was Awesome of the Army And police to make sure You guys was safe. Shout out to them ML&R From Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
A year ago, I thought the channel was over as 'the' Russian journey was. Now I'm enjoying every new piece of content as if it was the last. And the quality of the videos is only getting better. Long live Mr Bald.
I'm from Pakistan and really surprised to see you here, things here are very different... The mindset of the people, I'm surprised. I hope you enjoyed it here and the experience taught you things! 🌺🇵🇰 You have travelled more than me that's a good thing!
I spent 14 weeks in Pakistan in 1997. I absolutely love most of the people for their welcome and kindness to me a total stranger and tourist. Chitral was really the most beautiful place state I've ever seen. God bless the people.

I was surprised to see transgenders at 14:10. Its crazy they had to build a flyover to stop locals from killing each other, Pakistan government needs to supply rubbish removal so people dont dump trash in the streets and rivers..
Bro what an adventure. That guard with the AK guitar was a riot! Despite all the tension with terrorism, the Pakistani people are so kind and frriendly! This was a real treat to watch. Be safe 🫡
Sad you didn't make it to the north. I made a trip with the motorcycle a few years ago and spent 1 month there. Once you've made it to the northern highlands the landscape turns into a stunning scenario of green valleys and the biggest mountains.

I found your channel after you and Timmy crossed the Darien Gap. I love raw journalism like this, it's like I'm experiencing it firsthand with you. Thank you, would love to see more adventures with Timmy!
Yeah. I think most B+B followers are surprised he teamed up with the backpacker again. Timmy was a legend on the central America adventure, but perhaps he needed a break from this extreme Youtubing.
I’d be so untrusting and weary of people in some of these places , but you’ve just got a way about you that makes friends with everyone, absolutely brilliant!
Most of the sellers in public places might try to scam you cause they meet foreigners everyday and aren't much interested in hospitality. Whereas regular citizens are more welcoming and keen on showing their culture and food.
When my wife and I escaped from Russia in 2022 from war and mobilization, we were going basically nowhere - no exact plan, city or place to stay. We just knew we had to cross the land border to Kazakhstan, and that was the most detailed "plan" we had in our minds. And the exact person who inspired us to go to such daring and unplanned journey was Bald. We've been watching his videos for a long time, how he chose places to go to without even knowing where is was and where would he stay the night. After all these years, I can say that it worked great, although it was hard back in 2022, when emigration flow was so intensive. But we still stay away from Russia, until the damn war is over. So thank you, Mr Bald, for being a source of inspiration and adventurousness.
This video and all the other videos from this man (Mr. Bald) are a great example of how to use Internet in a positive way, these videos collection are a fantastic learning tool as well as entertaining for all ages and nationalities. Thank you very much Bald !!!
My family along with 1.2 million Hindu Sindhis did the journey in the opposite direction in 1947,getting into the train from Quetta,shikarpur,Rohiri,Sukkur and other towns of Sindh to Karachi to take a boat from Karachi port to kandla port in Kutch and then onwards to various parts of India. Bald doesn’t know how important this video is for so many Sindhis across the world who will never ever be able to physically see Sindh because of political reasons.This route had huge historical significance and Ofcourse a lot of sad stories of people suffering and losing their homeland and becoming refugees. P.S being a Brit,Bald could be more proud and aware of British history.He keeps talking about going via “Sukkur “ . The Lansdowne Bridge over the Indus at Sukkur was one of the great engineering feats of the 19th century. The longest cantilever bridge ever built, it had to support the load of heavy steam locomotives. The bridge was inaugurated in 1889 and show’s British engineering genius even 150 years back- still standing-bald missed the opportunity to show it! My own family for centuries and beyond were staying on the banks of Indus in Sukkur where this bridge was built.
I loved this comment. I wish you could visit your ancestral lands once again. Because these bonds are much stronger than we think or put to words. And they can't be severed easily because of moving to another place. There's a book called "from Quetta to Dehli" by Reena Nanda. It's a good read for someone who moved to India from Quetta during the partition. Best regards from across the border.
I made this journey (albeit in the opposite direction starting from Quetta) literally 25 years ago and it's amazing that nothing appears to have changed at all. Still rugged as hell, still amazing.
I am from Quetta and felt very happy to see you wandering in the streets but the end of the video made me so much heart broken, the way you were forced to leave the city and ultimately you had to leave Pakistan.
Bad timing as Iran started bombing all It's neighbors for no reason at all. It's very unfortunate for pakistan to be in the midst of all these countries especially Iran and Afghanistan to the west.
@@avasta. They are much better than bloody Iran and Afghanistan lol, Iran is basicly support lots of terrorist groups, and Afghanistan is not that much better
@@TibetWangmo I remember he only had 13k followers. If I'm not mistaken, at that time, he was filming videos in Eastern Europe. Surprisingly, he had already uploaded many videos from other countries prior to that. I guess after some exposure, he garnered more attention and views.

Still the G.O.A.T, I remember when you announced that you want to quit, like 3 years ago, but even these short format docus are untouched when compared to any other travel vlogger, no degenerate, desperate low class behavior, just purely intelligent films, best of the best really

Best UA-camr there is. Another great video, Mr. Bald! But how does he do it? No ads, no merch, no Patreon, no pay wall. Whatever you are doing, it works for me. Can’t wait for the next adventure! Thanks!
Bald used to be employed by the British intelligence services. I often wonder, due to things like you mentioned with finances, and his ability to reach some of the most politically active regions if he never left that job 🤫 travel UA-camr makes a great cover story!
You'd be surprised how many dedicated UA-camrs travel to the exact same region, at the exact same time. None of its a coïncidence. However, like OP just stated, Bald doesnt want to squeeze us, instead we feel enriched after watching. Thats why i like his channel
You never fail to Amaze B&B....Respect to you. I'm 72 and You do more to make me proud to be a fellow Englishman than ALL those corrupt fools in Parliament. 🏴 Thank you. 👊
Imagine yourself as a clear foreigner travelling along with no care just filming yourself and everyone is staring at you. Bald has MASSIVE balls. Truly admirable.
He’s just a different fella. During the trek to Mexico/us his buddy was have anxiety attacks and Harold just walked around smiling with vans shoes on. Haha. 😂😅
12:04 slight misconception, those aren't Afghan flags, that is the flag of one of the 3 major political parties of Pakistan, Pakistan People's Party or PPP
One of the best b&b videos ever. Just fascinating footage. Guy is just absolutely nuts, and I love him for it. Anyone with the travel bug can only be inspired.
Cantt means cantonment.. British era stations. We have in india too. Agra cantt , Delhi cantt ambala cantt. Same as in Pakistan . These were built near army bases hence the name. Like that
Even when travelling in ‘difficult’ conditions/situations it’s an experience. Bald shows how to make the most of it. His glass is half full - Backpacker shows the realism, his glass has a hole in it. Thanks to both of you for roughing it and making me think twice about taking my wife there touring!

I want to tell you guys a story. I got so inspired by Bald to travel the way he does and took an impromptu trip to Nepal and Bhutan last July. I went without booking a return ticket and traveled by land from Nepal to Bhutan via India. I spoke with many many folks on the way (this was never my way to travel previously) and I have some 20 new friends now!
I don't want to bore you with a long story, so I'll just mention the highlight of my trip. I met two guys - Nishchal and Bijay on a bus from Kathmandu and Pokhara. They are still very good friends and we keep pinging each other from time to time. I checked on them when there was an earthquake in Nepal, and they did the same when Chennai was flooded in December. I was in Pokhara for a week, and Nishchal would come every evening to my hotel to pick me up to show me new places or introduce me to more of his friends. Among the many people I met, I also learned about what they were doing in their lives, careers, etc., and connected unrelated people with each other based on their mutual interests. Bijay is an environmental engineer, and I introduced him to a guy whose mission is to keep the water bodies of Nepal safe (nobody pays him to do that, he samples the water quality and stuff on his own). I am reminded of that incident when Bald introduces Kolya to another lonely villager who lives nearby.
I think I've unlocked some inner superpower by suppressing that awkwardness while meeting and talking to new people. Even Nishchal and Bijay told me that although they've made the journey from Kathmandu to Pokhara countless times, they've never spoken to a stranger before. Thank you Bald, here's to a long, healthy, peaceful, and prosperous life mate 🍻

@@kevintheminion1497That was part of the point man, he didn’t need to go through Darien in order to reach Mexico. It is about the journey and documenting the roughest regions.
Wide knowledge hahaha - just because he knows a bit more than you doesn't mean he has "wide knowledge"
As to the language - he repeats the same words over and over - in Sindh they have their own language, and the same in Baluchistan and by his own admission he doesnt speak either; he knows some Hindi which is similar to Urdu
Of course he has ads. He wouldn’t be able to make these videos if he didn’t!

Yeah, can you imagine the smell though , this guy bald has travelled the globe several times , his stomach would have adapted to the not so sanitary food and the strange untreated water that the food is cooked in would be a shock to the system of a first timer , they even have a great name for it "deli belly"

Hey bald parts of Pakistan you visited were next to border with afghanistan and iran as expected to be rough being border cities like detroit near canadian border or hamilton of canada.i am also surprise as to no visit or showing cities like lahore islamabad skardu hunza valley and only country in world with most 8000 plus meters high peaks and biggest glacier outside antartic region. No mughal history and how British colonialized and oppressed people of this region. This was not complete and actual picture of pakistan. Even this was Ben's third visit to Pakistan, he got so much love in pakistan and probably have dozens of videos showing the beauty and hospitality of this land. On the other hand communism seems to inspire you and what it did to the people during that time. World know about Stalins barbaric era. Before partition pakistan india being one country were very prosperous and wealthy however when British came over to trade but then backstabbed bringing military and colonized india. During more then 100 years under colonialism British seems to gutted this region by trillions of dollars in today's wealth. One more thing if you Google Dharavi in Mumbai india is the biggest slum of Asia. Also want to mention how British responsible of millions of death during partition by providing no security and backpacking entire resources before partition causing bloodshed and anarchy. Till this day Pakistan and india suffering over Kashmir, thanks to hard working British people who divided this country. Also want to mention that thanks to your country that whole world is dealing with issue of Hamas Palestine and Israel. Please do not glorify colonialism and communism.

It seems that he puts people at ease with his confidence and openness.
It makes a huge difference in the reception that you get. It’s a mark of respect to take the trouble to interact personally. I have no facility with language, unlike Benjamin but I will try a few words if I can.
When Pakistan says it’s “open for tourism” I think they assumed that everyone understood that the border with Afghanistan was excluded…
Tourists don't go to unsafe border areas where militants and terrorists could kidnap or kill them. Pakistan is a large country with so much to offer in terms of sight seeing and culture. Ben should go to Punjab, Sindh, KPK, or Gilgit Baltistan regions that are safe to travel.
So tourist in america go to hoods for tourism?
Why risk life for the sake of content when you already know it's not safe to travel to the border. There are so many other places to visit in Pakistan. Good that the authorities sent them back to Karachi.
And Iran considering recent missile attacks by the Axis of evil
@@ShakilaKhatoon-d3bBald is no regular tourist. He goes where no normal tourist would ever go. Not even internenal tourists. I guess that is why he never comes here to Sweden. If he did I would show him the worst places.

pakistan doesnt have 800 million poor people . its true but thats the sad reality of india . there are millions of people under below poverty line and another millions just barely surviving . the top 10
% hold 90 % of the country assets . 10% of 1.5 billion is 150 million and they usually live in gated societies with parts of cities specific corned to cater the latter . rest the country is trying to improve . 20 years ago there wasnt even 150 million indians to atleast make a decent living upto global standards . there's a long way to go for india . its a devloping 3rd world country with a population of entire europe and north america combined , its gonna take time to atleast built a decent society with civil manners.

If I heard correctly (and it's very possible I didn't) the fella at 28:40 said he spoke Brahui? If so, that's an interesting language. It's related to the languages of south India, and its the furthest flung of all the languages of the Dravidian groups of languages. Pre history is very mysterious, but many people believe that this language is the last remnant of the languages spoken in the Indus valley or Harappan civilisation still in that region, before Sanskrit entered the region.
Fascinating, thankyou for this comment.
That is thrilling! I'm sure someone is studying it. What would it be like to learn that language and speak it with another person? Your thoughts/those words.
@@orchidorioI think that would be absolutely amazing to learn to speak a certain language from someone that speaks it naturally, it would be almost as beautiful as bathing elephants whilst taking mushrooms that come from said elephants!
Yes he said that he speaks Brahui. It's a commonly spoken language in Quetta & it's surroundings. Brahui is the third most spoken language in Quetta after Pashto & Persian (by the hazara tribe of Quetta)
no there is no proof of that
harrapan have different language south style came after it
its not it was different language bot it even that harrapan civilization use symbole type language and wh is language was that the trade group and frontier group where send by south kings to defend bharat India
so ya its not same soutjh type language came after Harrapan see the written of Harrapan not even close
south language where came after harrapan civilization and sanskrit was developed in central India and spread after that and given to that symbole
so no there is no proof and acedmics don't agree with it
just google it
I admire the care taken with your safety by the authorities. It’s commendable if frustrating for you. The friendliness of the locals in the towns is striking.
The police weren't there to protect them but to have an eye on them. They aren't police but their undercover intelligence agents. You might need to google how their intelligence agents hide in the sheeps dress. Pakistan is not the place you want to visit ever.

Honestly 95% of people are just out there trying to live, work and take care of their families. We have more in common than not
Most of the sellers in public places might try to scam you cause they meet foreigners everyday and aren't much interested in hospitality. Whereas regular citizens are more welcoming and keen on showing their culture and food.

@@andrejlvov3236 what will happen?
When my wife and I escaped from Russia in 2022 from war and mobilization, we were going basically nowhere - no exact plan, city or place to stay. We just knew we had to cross the land border to Kazakhstan, and that was the most detailed "plan" we had in our minds. And the exact person who inspired us to go to such daring and unplanned journey was Bald. We've been watching his videos for a long time, how he chose places to go to without even knowing where is was and where would he stay the night. After all these years, I can say that it worked great, although it was hard back in 2022, when emigration flow was so intensive. But we still stay away from Russia, until the damn war is over. So thank you, Mr Bald, for being a source of inspiration and adventurousness.
We all know that Simon is NOT going to eat street food, lol. He will have McDonald's.

My family along with 1.2 million Hindu Sindhis did the journey in the opposite direction in 1947,getting into the train from Quetta,shikarpur,Rohiri,Sukkur and other towns of Sindh to Karachi to take a boat from Karachi port to kandla port in Kutch and then onwards to various parts of India.
Bald doesn’t know how important this video is for so many Sindhis across the world who will never ever be able to physically see Sindh because of political reasons.This route had huge historical significance and Ofcourse a lot of sad stories of people suffering and losing their homeland and becoming refugees.
P.S being a Brit,Bald could be more proud and aware of British history.He keeps talking about going via “Sukkur “ . The Lansdowne Bridge over the Indus at Sukkur was one of the great engineering feats of the 19th century. The longest cantilever bridge ever built, it had to support the load of heavy steam locomotives. The bridge was inaugurated in 1889 and show’s British engineering genius even 150 years back- still standing-bald missed the opportunity to show it!
My own family for centuries and beyond were staying on the banks of Indus in Sukkur where this bridge was built.
I loved this comment. I wish you could visit your ancestral lands once again. Because these bonds are much stronger than we think or put to words. And they can't be severed easily because of moving to another place. There's a book called "from Quetta to Dehli" by Reena Nanda. It's a good read for someone who moved to India from Quetta during the partition.
Best regards from across the border.
Huge respect for you brother I appreciate All sindhi brothers remember there Land Sundhu love for my All Siindhi brothers Sain ❤️ must visit Sukkur 🙏🏻
