Hindu Gymkhana, Karachi

The Hindu Gymkhana (Sindhi:هندو جمخانه; Urdu: ہندو جِمخانہ) is a colonial-era building located on Sarwar Shaheed Road in Karachi, Pakistan.[2][1] The building is small in size (on a plot of land measuring 47,000 square yards)[2] and consists primarily of a hall and some smaller rooms used for administrative purposes.The octagonal corner towers framing the projecting central jharoka are capped with chattris, highlighting the influence of Rajasthani Style of Palaces.[3] Surprisingly a historical building like this had deteriorated due to lack of maintenance in the recent past and was going to be demolished in 1984 but the Heritage Foundation Pakistan back then intervened to save it.In 1980, the movement was launched again by Ramesh Mana co-chairperson of Pak-Hindu Welfare Association when the Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq government decided to sell the property.In 2009, the Sassui Palijo, Sindh’s Culture Minister said that the Pervez Musharraf hearing his relatives’ advice forcefully vacated the Hindu Gymkhana and handes it over to Napa.
