Kakapir

Kakapir (Sindhi: ڪڪو پير), (Urdu: کاکاپیر) is a fishing village and former island in Karachi Harbour, 15 km (9.3 mi) to the west of central Karachi, Pakistan.

Kakapir is named for a saint, whose shrine is located in the village, who reportedly was known for his brown hair.

[2] "Kaka" is the Sindhi word for blond, while "Pir" means saint.

[1] Residents of the village were originally from the Mithadar and Kharadar neighborhoods of Karachi, who were settled by the British in Shams Pir during the construction of the Port of Karachi.

[2] Ethnically, the population is mostly Sindhi Lasi,[2] who claim to be descendants of the original indigenous inhabitants of Karachi and the Sindh coast.
