My mother was born in Lahore in 1929. I have heard many stories of Lahore from her until she passed away in 2022. My mamaji studied at FC College (Foreman Christian College), my masi at Kinniard College...Davis Road, Nurshah Begum Road, Gulmerg, Anarkali Bazar...Ma never forgot Lahore

My parents moved to Lahore from Bombay in 47. Had a memorable struggling time and my older 4 siblings still remember those times. They stayed mostly in model town. They have sweet beautiful memories of Lahore and the people.

[@naeemullahshah]

I am Lahori for 14 Generations, We praised Lahore too much and too generously, which attracted people from all over. The result is that Non Lahoris, destroyed Lahore. However, if you come acroos a real Lahori, your day is made.

[@suhailakbar1538]

Present lahore is an illicit child of old lahore.

[@SuperMickey1967]

Another memory of Lahore from 1985 is on the back of a motobike with a friend and travelling around racecourse Park and other areas. I can still remember the fragrance of the flowers under the moonlight, and the beautiful pre-winter weather of October

[@ZeeshanAmerDar]

Yes... there was a Caltex Petrol Pump near the tail of FC College connecting to Zahoor Elahi Road turn. and Yes there was a khokha too which also offers Chai. I have been to that place many times and had chai too from that khokha. and Yes even 20 to 25 years before Lahore still had its tehzeeb, but now it has all gone. Thanks for inviting Salman Sb.

[@RonvirBilkhu]

The partition of India impoverished both sides of Punjab. Without each other we are both less diverse and poorer in our thoughts, worldviews and culture. Pakistan side has slowly lurched toward a very closed-minded form of Islam and its politics have declined. The Indian side has become dominated by thick-headed “jatt” culture and a closed-minded form of Sikhism or Hinduism.

[@ZahidMufeem]

As a Lahoree I am totally agreed with him. The culture and atmosphere of wonderful Lahore is destroyed by the people who came from small cities and towns. Now I also avoid to go outing in my own city because there are other people and there actions.

[@punjabimundaUK]

It doesn't matter which small town or city people come from. One they are in Lahore they become a Lahori... that's the magic of Lahore. To me a real Lahori is one that speaks in Punjabi and not an urdu speaker. Once you lose your language you no longer are part of that fabric.

I visited Lahore in 1985 in the summer vacations of my intermediate exams. I fell in love with Lahore. Especially the Lake and area around it. I wish i was born in Lahore too and experienced it as a child. The only confounding variable was the presence of the new age politicians with their ill gotten wealth alongwith generals who are after the same. I had an uneasy feeling about it, and now in 2024 i can say with confirmity that i saw it coming.

Can’t switch to regional language for just one program when overall medium is Urdu. If i may then why are you typing punjabi in English alphabets? Most probably you know ill be able to understand it and your purpose is communication. So our purpose is also to communicate and educate people so that they adopt their language in their daily usage.

This Kind Of Writers Must Be Vehemently Challenged About The Narrative They Build That Its Outsiders (People From Small Towms, Cities Or Villages) Who Destroyed Lahori Culture. 1. Lahori Culture. Narrow Streets, Small Houses, Unclean Streets Gandgi, Mailay Kuchailay Unhygienic Restaurants. Best Shopping You Lahoris Had Were Panorama Centre, Purani Anarkali, Narkali & Ichhra. 2. Its Money & Wealth Drom People Of Small Towns That Introduced Lahoris To What A 1 Kanal House Looks Like. Its Their Money That Help Build Liveable Housing Societies With Wider & Cleaner Streets With Big Houses. Its Their Money That Help Build Big Shopping Malls & Best Restaurants. Apkay Pass To Ab Bhi Phhajay Ke Paai Hain, And I went To That Restaurant Last Year And It still looks & Smells Like Shit. So Please Stop Unduly Golrifying Lahore & Demeaning People Whose Money Has Transformed Lahore into Sprawling & Beautiful Livable Metropolis......

[@imrankhwaja8470]

When talking of old days Of Lahore not to forget Model Town, Mall Road, Gulberg, Lawrance Garden, Government College, Kinnaird College, Flattie's Hotel, Plaza Cinema, Shezan Chain of restaurants and many more things. So it was not all about narrow lanes,phajey ki paye and Anarkali as U have mentioned. Please note that grand shopping malls, multiplexes, upscale restaurants and five star hotels, U see nowadays are also built by lahories and not people from small towns. My friend Just take it as a friendly reply, no offence therefore.

Till we don't learn , why and how this strip called Pakistan was created We will remain lost Jinnah Poonja Chap, whom the unwashed call Quaid e Azam, was a Hindu from village Panali in Gujrat His house is can be seen on Google His grandfather was Premji Lal, father. Poonja Lal Poonja was a very clever chap, initially English tried to pass him as Ismaili Muslim and said he was born in Wazir Mansion near Ismaili Jamat Khana in Kharadar But Ismaili Imam, refused to give a fake certificate that he was Ismaili So in, 1900 it was decided to call him a Sunni Muslim and name was changed to Mohammad Ali Rest history we know how with help of English and Hindus who were also in game, Poonja created two nation theory He got 1.5 million Muslims Slaughtered Handed India to Hindus Hindus, never had any say in ruling India Till 1947, Muslims ruled over most of India. Whole of Punjab, Bengal, Assam, Kashmir, 35 Muslim States, in Central India, Hyderabad with half India wealth, Bijapur etc, were all under Muslim rule Muslim culture centres like, Delhi, Lucknow, Agra, Kanpur, Hyderabad etc Were also handed to Hindus, Muslims were confined to a small strip they call Pakistan This strip was to be a buffer, between Russia and India, Unwashed mob called Pakistanis will not comprehend till they read history of Great Game, which started in 1840s
