THE 1870's
By 1873, Karachi possessed an efficient and well managed harbour. The city was expanding at a fast pace and business was booming. In 1878, the railway line from Karachi to Kotri was extended to join the Delhi-Punjab railway system at Multan, connecting Karachi with the rest of British India by rail. In 1871, the Sindh Club was established as an exclusive club for European gentlemen where natives were allowed only through the tradesmen's entrance.
