If we travel from FTC to Imtiaz Super Market near Qayyumabad by taking Korangi Road, and than from there we take Shaheed-e-Millat Road to Baloch Pull (Flyover) and after that we take Shahrah-e-Faisal Road towards the FTC, the surrounded by these three roads makes a TRIANGLE, with FTC, Imtiaz Super Market, and Baloch Pull as 3 ANGLES of that TRIANGLE. There are some unique characteristics/features of this area which gives special position to this area. Firstly, the majority of people living in the areas under this triangle are Punjabi Speaking. The colonies inside this Triangle include, Akhtar Colony, Kashmir Colony, Manzoor Colony, Azam Basti, Allama Iqbal Town, and Mehmood Abad all are the majority areas of Punjabi Speaking people. Secondly, a considerable population of this area (Triangle) are Christians by religion, who are also Punjabi Speaking by ethnicity. In Pakistan, 99% of Christians are Punjabi Speaking, you will never ever sea even if you use a microscope a Christian in Pakistan who is Sindhi Speaking or Balochi Speaking by language/ethnicity. There are at least more than a dozen Churches in this area. There might be more than 30 Churches but who counts. Thirdly, the people of these areas are poor both economically and socially. If a community is part of Minority communities of Pakistan (Christians in this case) people of that community tend to be poor socially because there ways of social interaction are different and the Majority (Muslims in this case) keeps them at a distance. Unfortunately, some people in Pakistan call them (Christians) as Bhangi or Choohra during discussions which are the names of professions of this particular Minority group. This minority group has been unable to get connected to their Punjabi Majority ethnicity arm/branch because of RELIGION as a backbone of Pakistani Society. RELIGION is given extremely more importance (more than needed) in Pakistan and religious divides are becoming more and more SHARP.
