Karachi was a small town and very few had money for schooling.

"This picture of Empress Market is from 1930. Empress Market is located in Saddar, in downtown Karachi. There are countless other markets in the Saddar area but none match this grand old market. Named after Empress Victoria, it is built in the Indo-Gothic style, consisting of four galleries, an atrium and a grand clock tower which is 140 feet high. It stands as a symbol of Karachi’s glory from the days of the British rule."
