Regular contributor to fibiwiki,  Rabia Zafar, has contacted FIBIS to inform us of her new blog,  Karachi and The Crown: Life in Pakistan’s Capital City during the Dominion years. The blog is an  online version of Rabia’s masters dissertation which is  an  exhibition on her home town of Karachi, Pakistan. The exhibition  aims to explore the city’s various aspects: social, cultural, political and economic. Depicting the period, 15 August 1947 to 23 March 1956, it is hoped that visitors will leave with a sense of what the city was like during this time
