00:00Friends, in today's presentation, we will discuss a powerful story that tells a great story.
00:07It began here and has reached the tables of the entire world. A city whose flavor is now unique.
00:14has established an identity
00:15Hunting is complete. Let's see how this amazing combination of history and style came into being.
00:45It will consist of five parts: first, Paris in the East, second, the sweet Mimari, third, the secret hidden in water, and fourth,
00:53The world's most popular pickle, and the fifth is the women who pick pickles. Let's start with the first part.
01:13By the turn of the 1st century, the city had become so wealthy and important that it was regularly used for silver mining during the Durrani period.
01:19Coins were minted in 1998. In 1998, it was declared a historical heritage.
01:26The political and economic importance of the old city to us
01:57It has been much more than Ayesha.
01:59And the air was filled with the aroma of spices, along with the noise of traders. This wasn't just a market; it was an engineering marvel.
02:05Being a pushcart, it exposed traders from faraway lands to the intense heat and sun.
02:11This market was a reflection of that past
02:271,203 buildings in Jahar were declared heritage sites. But the reality is quite sad. 300 of these
02:35The ancient buildings have been completely destroyed, and those that remain are made of precious wood.
02:40Doors, windows and unique designs of Kashigari
02:56The city's identity and culture have given it a new, and frankly, a way to survive.
03:02We've found a very interesting route. From these beautiful buildings, straight to our dining table, we're now on our way to Shikarpur.
03:09in a special flavour
03:10The initiative has been taken. Part Three: The true magic of Shikarpuri pickle, hidden in water.
03:40Water is available. But if these same spices are mixed in any other city, it doesn't work.
03:46What is it? The real essence is the sweet ground water of Shikarpur. This sweet water enhances the flavors of vegetables and spices.
03:54But it takes you there. This is the happiness
03:58This makes pickles famous all over the world and due to which this industry is so successful here.
04:28There is ample evidence that the popularity of the taste is not dependent on any border and this traditional pickle is very popular in every
04:35It has become an essential part of Jaga's dastarkhwan.
04:37And the makers here have excellent business sense. They've adapted their traditional recipes to global standards.
04:44I have found a great way to do it.
04:46The use of oil for local and export markets is completely free, which has transformed a home-grown recipe into a multinational one.
04:53Has been converted into business.
05:16A 500g jar stays fresh even after traveling across the ocean. Amazing strategy.
05:22And now let us come to our last and fifth part, women behind the taste, the wandering heroes of this art.
05:30This entire empire did not start from any big factory.
05:47The demand increased so rapidly that her husband was forced to open a shop.
05:51And in no time, a simple recipe gave birth to a whole world art.
05:56But today, when there are twelve to sixteen big factories and countless home setups operating in Shikarpur,
06:03A question arises that who is the real power running this great art?
06:07Who works hard day and night every year in the scorching heat from April to August to make this pickle?
06:13The answer is a very important number, eighty percent, yes, seasonal wage laborers in this industry.
06:21Eighty percent of us are women, the real hard work and Gurbani behind this wonderful style is of those mothers and sisters.
06:29Who silently faced this big problem
06:43Apply Asab, to earn three hundred rupees, he sold about three hundred kilos of raw Saunf mangoes with his own hands.
06:50It is a very hard physical work, however, the factory owner provides financial assistance for marriage and treatment.
06:57for interest-free loans and
06:59They are given free food every week, yet their hard work and dedication is truly commendable, as these Akhtabaas
07:05It tells us that a city's heritage is preserved not only in its foundations and buildings but also in its culinary traditions.
07:13Yes, this is the essence of the whole story.
07:15This is a wonderful revelation: the old buildings of Shikarpur may be crumbling with time, but the soul of the city remains.
07:23Even today, the whole Avo is throbbing with heat on the full tables, finally, just stop and think,
07:30The food we eat every day
07:32What parts of local history and culture are present in those seemingly common items on our table?
07:40The silence is wonderful. The next time someone tastes traditional food, they'll remember it's not just food, but
07:48There is a complete date
08:02That is the date which is traditional.
