 Karachi was a little fishing town when a gathering of brokers moved there in the mid eighteenth century from the rotting port of Kharak Bandar close by. Other than the normal insurance against rainstorm storms, Manora Head outfitted a superb site for the safeguard of the harbor, and the Talpura amīrs who acquired Karachi from the khān of Kalāt in 1795 raised a long-lasting stronghold on it.
