Pakistan's Most British City | The Truth About Abbottabad | Ather Khalid

🏛️ Abbottabad: The City Named After a British Soldier

Why is Abbottabad still named after a British officer even after Pakistan changed the names of many colonial-era cities? Was James Abbott really respected by the local people, or is there another reason behind it? And how did this peaceful mountain city later become the place where Osama bin Laden was found?

In this documentary, we uncover the complete history of Abbottabad—from its foundation in 1853 by Major Sir James Abbott, the story of Lady Garden Park, the famous Ilyasi Mosque, the city's role after the Partition of 1947, the establishment of the Pakistan Military Academy (PMA Kakul), the devastating 2005 Kashmir earthquake, and the dramatic 2011 Osama bin Laden operation that shocked the entire world.

We also explore why Abbottabad's name was never changed, despite cities like Lyallpur becoming Faisalabad, Montgomery becoming Sahiwal, and Campbellpur becoming Attock.
