The Story of Suraj Ghar - Kashyap House - Model Town Lahore - Residence Stories - Lahorenamah

[@shashiverma1394]

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

[@naeemahmedbajwa]

I am touched

[@sohailrekhy2658]

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.

[@hannabajwa100]

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.

[@sabah6452]

Hey I'm so invested in this comment. Did you manage to speak to anyone and find out?

[@Theasianreader]

Any update?

[@faizanch5503]

[@naeemahmedbajwa]

I am, since long, looking for the Family Kyshap, who lived here.

[@TheJask10]

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

[@kk-wp7gj]

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

[@hhydar883]

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.

[@BabarAli-en2ox]

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.

[@just_a_woman-h9s]

Pakistan is only for rich jageerdaars elites who have been exploiting the poor since the inception of this country

[@ArshadGadi]

As a Pakistani born and raised, this video evoked a profound emotional response. Learning about the house in Model Town Lahore brought a sense of connection to a history that, while distant, feels deeply personal. My grandfather, too, hailed from Karnal, making the glimpses of life before Partition even more poignant. The beauty of the land is undeniable, but the shadow of the partition’s tragedy is equally present. It’s heartbreaking to imagine the lives uprooted and families divided by such an event. Yet, the video also serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of our people. Perhaps there’s a chance the rightful owner of the Lahore house will see this and feel a similar connection to their roots. It would be a beautiful story of unity amidst the historical divide."

[@just_a_woman-h9s]

@@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

[@rajl8890]

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.

[@IndoPakCanvas]

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.

He is such a decent and well spoken person. These kind of people should represent Pakistan.

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🙏🙏

Despite all the historical upheavels, the spirit of the house is alive. That is what matters. Big thumbs up for the present owners.

[@zoeyanaqvi-zn7482]

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.

[@samiazaffar7096]

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.

[@navreetdhillon-tq1bn]

[@raminderbhutter733]

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!

[@THEKatpadi]

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.

[@discodeewana931]

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.

[@ST-jl2tb]

How sweet of a gentleman. I m crazy about good architecture, but more than architecture, the story associated with the place intrigued me the most, and of course, the humbleness of Mr. BAJWA just takes it to another level!

[@mariamansoor872]

I recently saw a short clip of a place called Noori Haweli I think. The place was so beautiful even in the deplorable condition that it is in now. I don’t know why we don’t preserve such beautiful places. You learn so much from them.

[@hassanraza7908]

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.

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.
