Dear Mr. Bajwa. This maybe the house of my father's neighbour, the Kashyaps. I am checking with his grand-daughter. My grandfather also lived in Model Town and left only when they saw fires. One of the Kashyaps moved to Bangalore after Partition. My Rekhy grandfather's house had several tennis and badminton courts. Unfortunately all of my father's generation are no more.
Hello. We would be very grateful if you could share any information. We very much hope that these are the same Kashyaps and would love to speak to someone from their family.
Hey I'm so invested in this comment. Did you manage to speak to anyone and find out?
Any update?
Our family too left fully furnished and running houses in India. Came to Pakistan with only a few clothes and lots of spirit. May Allah bless my grandparents and parents.
You are lying.
May I know from which place in India you claim your family had migrated to Pak?
Alas. Partition's Dilemma.
@@mirzabaig2173 yes, what a great tragedy it was. I wish Jinah new any better. When Nehru talked about ending jageerdaaran nizam , thats the time muslim jageerdaars went to Jinnah that they should have their own homeland. Then religion was used to divide the nation. Those jageerdaar elites are still ruling over the poor with help of Army in Pakistan
Mr Naeem Bajwa, i would like to share that you are an amazing human with a kind heart and i think what you are doing with such heartening message is something that the people in the sub continent should learn. huge love and respect to you sir
Such a gem of a person! Pranam to you, from India!
I've installed solar system at Naeem Bajwa Sab house. Very humble gentleman.
Today Model Town is one of the most upscale localities in Lahore and most homes are being torn down and replaced with modern villas. I am so happy that gems like this still exist and are preserved so beautifully. This history is irreplaceable.
FEELING SAD FOR THE REAL OWNERS 🌺🌺🌺🌺
Pakistan will pay for its sins. Thieves and looters never prosper.
Yeeeeeeeees so sad
Despite all the historical upheavels, the spirit of the house is alive. That is what matters. Big thumbs up for the present owners.
what a wonderful video , thankyou so much for making this and sharing the story behind the house. Absolutely beautiful.
being an Indian and being from a family who's ancestors had to move from their homes this really means a lot. I would like to also add that we need more videos like this and more people like Mr. Naeem Bajwa.
Bajwa sir you are incredible. thankyou so much
So so gracious of Bajwa Sir to maintain this house in most of its originality and empathising with the pain of the original owner and asking his family to visit ..such a good soul ..hope someone from Kashyap family chances upon this video
گھر سے متعلق معلومات اور انداز بیان بہت اچھا ہے لیکن گھر کی وڈیو انتہائی ادھوری رہی۔ ہم جیسے لوگ جنھیں پرانی عمارتوں سے عشق ہے انھیں عمارتوں کو دیکھنے کا ذیادہ شوق ہوتا ہے۔
💯
Bilkul... Mai mutaffiq hun
@@aleenashafaat2295 boht shukriya
If you want to visit the place do let me know. I agree that video coverage of the place is not upto the mark.
@@naeemahmedbajwa محترم میرے لئے تو یہ انتہائی خوشی کی بات ہو گی۔
My parents also migrated from Indian Punjab leaving everything there and arrived here bare footed. Pakistan gave us everything and we are thankful to our Lord for all the blessings.
Pakistan is only for rich jageerdaars elites who have been exploiting the poor since the inception of this country
such a beautiful human 😊
He is such a decent and well spoken person.
These kind of people should represent Pakistan.
So sad. My grandfather's house was also in Model Town Lahore. C 91 is the number of the house.
Now there is an office..
My father's nana also used to live in c block model town and 90ez ma he number tha house Ka...model town is very relatable place
To the film editor: This was supposed to be about House & architecture. That should be shown more not just plant leaves.
Such a beautiful human, with kind heart ❤
I discovered that my maternal great grandfather lived on Race Course Road in Lahore while watching one of Professor Istiaq Ahmed's videos. He mentioned his son, my grand uncle by name and referred to his address.
My great grand father retired as Registrar of the Government College in Lahore and finds mention in some documents and books about pre-Partition Lahore.
Lovely. My maternal grandfather left hydrpower electrical construction company, Metropole Hotel ownership, Metropole Steel Works Amritsar in Shimla and estate in Sanjoulie bear Shimla. Mirza Hussain Abbas.
Remarkable video & speech ..👏🏼👏🏼 . No words Sir . 🙏🏼 True legend . You took us back to that times as if someone had lived in that era . 👍🏼
That uncle who is living here his view is also good, he is a kind hearted person and actually he is having human feelings not religious fanaticism.
I admired his golden heart to realise the pain and sorrow of the people who left the house🙏🙏
I am overseas Pakistani but before partition My great grandpa was present during model town movement he was leading in that group but we left our house in model town long ago . Bohat dill krta ha is ashiyane meh vapis any ka ❤
It's a beautiful house but the tragedy of partition was that many rich became poor and many poor became rich like this ....painful facts that are still tragically reflected in our society.
That’s so true. Especially in Lahore where rich Hindus left their houses and businesses.
People took over the businesses and properties and become rich over night.
Very nice 👍 Lots of love and respect to Bajwa Sahab from Punjab ❤🙏🙏
What a beautiful and insightful video, thank you for sharing. Kudos to Mr Naeem Bajwa! Need more people like him
Weldon Sir Bajwa... My grand father migrated from Ludhiana, had lots of properties in CHORA BAZAR ( Wide Bazar). Owned quite a few houses in Mohala Shakoor... and agricultural land in Halwara... My father passed away in 2017 and the day he died he kept on talking about his Havailli and lands in Khana, Halwara and few other places... Partition of subcontinent has left many stories like the one Sir Bajwa shared.
Beautiful! I too would love to visit the houses of my grandparents in Pakistan... Lahore, Sialkot and Faisalabad.
Beautiful video! Watching Naeem sahib speaking in such a gentle way is like a therapy ♥ thank you for sharing!
I always wanted to know more about this beautiful house. Thank you, Naeem sb. That was a treat
Partition was the tragic history common between a country divided in two parts in the name of religion. Hamesha ke liye zakhm de diye sarkaron ne hum logon ko.
What a nice message to the original owners to come and visit their house bravo 👏🏻
Excellent narration. Clearly Mr. Bajwa is a gentleman and a noble character. Indeed the Kashyaps are high class Brahmans. I am also a Jat-Sikh we in India have maintained our rich traditions and rarely every marry outside, hence, maintaining the rich ancient Aryan Jat traditions.
I want to see this old beautiful house with garden. Lovely man.
Beautiful house, thank you for sharing your own story
Great human.. Explained everything nicely.. Thanks.
Maa Sha Allah, a house of dreams with a beautiful rare classic car parked in.❤🌟
A treat to watch & a delight to experience in real life.👌
Wow! Loved the channel title: ‘LahoreNaama’….
Subscribed..!!!
Very nice narration. Maintain and keep these houses . I have a 125 year old house on my farm in Sangrur Punjab and i enjoy living in it.
What a lovely gentleman, Naaem sir. Truly. God bless you.
Masha Allah 😇🥰 excellent house and wonderful details, Stay Blessed.
Excellent description.
What a gorgeous personality this old man has and the grandeur house as well.
You have given it a human touch and a feeling. Tk you. My parents got separated in the partion could not get. back to Peshawar
Really enjoyed watching this story with mixed emotions but mainly positive ones. There must be so many stories on both sides, where people migrated after the partition and left everything behind. I believe we have a duty of care to honour the former residents' heritage and the Bajwas certainly did that.
Just found out your channel. Amazing amazing work 💯
This house is a gem please try to keep it in its original. You will do a favour to the history of Lahore!
I hv been there to visit, when I was in Lahore,,, his son was our artist mentor,, good
Truly heart touching video, am gone in that era
Amazing ❤❤
Really enjoyed listening about the history of the house. My grandparents too had a house in Model Town before partition. It’s sad how so many people were uprooted for vested interests. There are so many stories some with a tragic end and some with beautiful messages like this one. God bless!
Vested interest you say. But remember that there are many more countries in the world who are fighting civil wars from decades all because they are not able to resolve socio political differences.
I feel so nostalgic seeing this all.sir u have explained all so well....
A good messages by a good human being.
Such a beautiful vdo
Very nice .
I live in Lahore.
I know this house .
I have seen from outside
can you please share the location so i can visit. i am architecture student. i find it really interesting
You have given so much of life to this house it feels like home
So happy to see this house. Atleast there are a few old houses still existing in good condition
It is a great house,and maintained still,with such nice people who own it now. They feel, for those who left this beautiful house,that's a great feeling they have too,which rarely people have these days.its nice to see they have kept this home well, in spite of not living here.regards to them
Thank you for preserving such a precious asset of Pakistan and sharing it with us. This is priceless ❤ You have such a big generous heart 💜 Government should give some sort of Tax break to people like you who pay out of their pocket to preserve such rich cultural heritage of Pakistan. I also admire the human factor. Bajwa sir, the empathy you showed for the Indian family who lived here is so inspiring. I hope our new generation will learn from you.
Very nice. Beautiful. And. Heart touching. Message to owners. See. What life. Is.
Very nice and kind but also your ancestors had to leave their house as and migrate. You are very kind. If kindness was a mutual thing, how wonderful it would have been.
What a Gem person he is 👍👍
You are a good person ,my family came from
Can you please keep sharing more such information and videos of the homes of bygone era
Charming story ...
Stealing Hindu Sikh properties makes s charming story. One day Pakistanis will pay for their sins, the clock has started ticking.
It is "Hakikat" of the man & his family. a lifetime left behind 😢
Such history model town is full of such beautiful house, sadly Hawelies are vanishing rapidly
Kaash hum bhi 1947 me zinda hotay aur aaj aesi haveliun ke maalik hotay....
Thanks Naeem bajwa sb You deserve a big credit for maintaing such beautiful heritage house. Many tourists from both Pakistan and India would love to visit such interesting houses and sites of historical importance. Stay blessed.
Naeem Bajwa sb ap India may kis Gaon say ae thay...? Or Sialkot may kis Gaon say hain ? Hope will reply..
Sir please show the house from inside
Very nice

Sad... Partition
My father migrated from Mathura when he was 12-13 yes of age and always fondly remembered his childhood memories and told us about his home there, and school that was G.c pod dhar high school I would love to visit India to see my ansectral land but alas visa agony and partition agony
@Talat Afzal My parents migrated from a lush green village in Hoshiarpur, which was situated in the foothills of the Shivalik hill ranges, a part of sub Himalayan mountains. They were settled in Multan after migration. My father passed away few months ago at the age of 92. He was always remembering his village and had never accepted Pakistan as his home country.
Sir. I was also a resident of model town and knew abt ur house , a friend of mine named ijaz lived near to ur house 86 G, perhaps he was related to you. Any idea where is he these days,we were class fellows at DPS
So sad ....what happened to the subcontinent to families due to the partition I wish the family could come back .....
i wish the video showed more of the house, it barely showed a few walls and bits. at the end of the video you know a lot of history about a place but have no idea how it looks like!
Partition was a catastrophe which left millions of families devastated forever. I don't understand why some human beings turn into a monster and have no empathy for other human beings.
😪 yes fanatism... I feel sorry for pakistan that people have an irrational and fundamentalist mind set intolerance and hatred for others who have different religion... the main cause is islamic intolerance...but any one who is giving more importance to nationalism or religion can turn to monster a day!
Where in India did your family migrate from? It is so interesting to trace back the course of the river……
Apko kitna ehsas k inhone ghr banya mgr rhe nhi. Its painful.
We need more people like u in world.uncle is really humble and nice man.
Sir, my Grandfather built a house there and my father too stayed there, they left in 1947. Unfortunately, my father died 10 years back to give you any details of the plot number etc - but if I share the family name etc will you be able to help me to get the house number / photos etc
And visit their house ....
Boht pira house hai mashaallha say
Really look like a seth of old time
Still sensitive people exist, I thank my Allah
I wish i would buy a house in model town. Its near to me 😊
Ye ghar kon sy block mein h
It's mastic, for pointing on bricks, they use to do in england.....
You can really tell the class of the family, to have maintained such a house.
Great film.
Did not showed inside in detail

Shiv Ram Kashyap (6 November 1882 - 26 November 1934) was a botanist in British India. He was a specialist on the bryophytes especially from the Himalayan region. He has been called the father of Indian bryology.He was Professor of Botany at the Government College, Lahore.He had two sons (Amar Nath Kashyap & Kedarnath Kashyap) and three daughters (Uma, Usha & Pushpa). His daughter - Uma Kashyap "Kamini Kaushal" became a famous Indian actress.Shiv Ram Kashyap died at Lahore, on the 26th November, 1934. Probably Dewan RN Kashyap must be one of this prominent Kashyap family.
thanx for the interesting information ❤
This is not the same person he is talking about, they might sound same but the guy who used to live here was not Kamini Kaushal’s father.
This is true Pakistan and a Pakistani
My grandad nd family came from Amritsar. But they struggle alot.
I brought up in karachi and I saw how all old buildings r ruined bcz of negligence.
Karachi is full of history
@@lahorenamah agree. But it turns into ruin unfortunately
🙏
