Delhi Mercantile Society (Urdu: دہلی مرکنٹائل سوسائٹی ) is one of the neighbourhoods of Gulshan Town in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.
This neighbourhood was established by the Jamiat-e-Punjabi-Saudagaran-e-Delhi (Urdu: جمعیت پنجابی سوداگران دہلی ), a community of Punjabi-Muslim traders, originally from Delhi, India, who migrated to Pakistan after independence in 1947. The
The bulk of the population still comprises the Punjabi Saudagaran-e-Delhi, as the Mercantile Society's rules make it very difficult for other groups to purchase property in this locality.
Famous quotes containing the words mercantile and/or society:
“What should I have known or written had I been a quiet, mercantile politician or a lord in waiting? A man must travel, and turmoil, or there is no existence.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“You cannot have one well-bred man without a whole society of such. They keep each other up to any high point. Especially women;Mit requires a great many cultivated women,—saloons of bright, elegant, reading women, accustomed to ease and refinement, to spectacles, pictures, sculpture, poetry, and to elegant society, in order that you have one Madame de Staël.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
