Lahari Bandar or Lari Bandar succeeded Debal as a major port of the Indus; it was located close to Banbhore, in modern Karachi. The first modern port city near Manora Island (now Manora Peninsula) was established during British colonial Raj in the late 19th century. (en)
  • Район, где находится Карачи, благодаря своему географическому положению был известен с древних времён. Александр Македонский расположился здесь лагерем в 325 году до н. э. после Индийского похода, в греческих источниках это место фигурирует как «Кракола»; из «Моронтабара» (вероятно, современный остров Манора в гавани Карачи) адмирал Неарх отправился с флотом Александра в свой путь к Персидскому заливу. Арабам эти места были известны под названием «Дебал», именно отсюда в VIII веке Мухаммад ибн Касим отправился на завоевание Синда. (ru)
