  • hey Ravi....how could you say that we support pakistan.you are such an ignorant person. We dont care for Pakistan for us Pakistan is same as China, Japan or Madagascar. but We feel very bad when some Hindu brothers think that Indian muslims love Pak more than thr homeland. rmrbr thr r many arab countries where indians r working and its helping our economy but still you people hate arabs. ohh what FAINT HATE. if you really love your homeland then you have to support everything which help us,which make us strong. as being a true muslims we feel that we are true Indians too. but some people ...dont like this. they dont have problem with Pakistan or Afghanistan but Islam, I am sorry but I felt after I read your comment.

Please contact me at moroccan.dance@gmail.com Thanks very much
  • barkas is a very beautiful city i love so much i love sulemani chai harees and nahari in barkas my best friend awad basuloom omer lahji and abdullah shaker and many more
  • after reading all filthy comments, all i can say is a place is not bad or good, but people living in their make it.in generally barkas is remote shanty place with 95% of its inhibitants living in middle east for sole purpose of earning bread n feeding their families, more than 70% dont have basic education.rowdisim, land grabberers with family inheritance, hooligans & other anti social elements survive v well in barkas. womens have v little rights or no rights at all even acc to islam their r not given tht rights also.polygamy is v common in barkas even if it is not needed, n the most imp issue is of marrying ones daughter or sister to greyold perv filthy cuckold mens from middle east for sole purpose of money. which makes the girls life hell,i have seen this personally, 16yrs old girl being forcibly married to 60yr old man. in short people from barkas have got no respect in city of hyderabad cos they made this impression by the way of their daily life style. @mr zubai u said u will be making documentary abt barkas, well i think the info i have given is much more thn needed for ur documentary, cos this is the actual fact of barkas, people can hate me for saying all this but belive me im saying truth n only truth, if u dont belive me just live in barkas few days n u will c tht the things i said is v much fact.just be fair in making ur documentary dont be unjust @ mr zubair if ur really making a documentary , hope ur not faking. even worse is the actual situation of hyderabad old city, the best example will be if any person resides in old city n he wanna apply loan or buy a vehicle on emi thn tht person will never get tht dream come true cos many people in old city have duped hundreds of thousands of rupees so finally some good innocent people have to suffer for it
  • this arabic city is very beautyful
  • barkas is the best n perfect to live in specially who belives in hostality n kindness Its a mix culture place of arabs n muslims The most religious n beutiful moment can be seen here in holi month of ramdan Barkas zindabad basti ka taawun faindabad
  • Very sad to hear from.salman it seems he dont know well as other dakni peoples As many other he also live long time in barkss may br he is namak haram The people they r marrying to old arabs are same like u daknis they came to live here n they do this As concerns to barkas peoples they try to marry in arabs only they look for good qabilas even if it is frm arab countries or arab nuskims. if u r true muslim u dont look for loans n dont look to buy car or bike on instalments as all this procedure based on intrest which is haraaam in islam We peoples of barkas self employed u daknis r just gulaams u daknis r just razakar living on sarfeqas trust Wht u know the history of barks U tell us wht is ur basic u daknis Go look in old city other areas whts going on
