Sind
Club
The Sind Club in the center of Karachi was built by the
British in the 1860s, and the local inhabitants (of what is now Pakistan) were
not allowed to become members until after Pakistan's Independence in 1947.
The Sind Club was exclusively a men's club. Women were only
allowed in to attend a ladies' dinner held every two months. The sign "Natives and dogs not
allowed" was removed only a day after Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali
Jinnah took his oath as Governor-General of Pakistan on August
14, 1947.
Facilities at the Sind Club include a swimming
pool; tennis and squash courts, a walking track; a billiards room; an outdoor
barbecue, a full bakery, a sauna, guest rooms and a newly built fitness centre.
