This impressive monument can be found in the area of Clifton.
Karachi
has many landmarks, but the Teen Talwar really stands-out. The three
white marble swords symbolize (and are inscribed with the dogma of
Pakistan's founder, Mohammad Ali Jinnah) Unity, Faith and Discipline.
("ittehad, yaqeen-e-muhkam, tanzeem.") This lovely tribute was
commissioned by the former President & Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali
Bhutto (Quaid-e-Awam). The abundance of white, good-quality marble in
the city's vicinity has apparently encouraged its wide use for the
creation of many monuments, lending a symbolic nature of grandeur &
purity.
