- Husri is a town and union council of Hyderabad District in the Sindh province of Pakistan. It is part of the rural Taluka of Hyderabad and is located at 25°19'0N 68°25'0E and lies to the south-east of the capital, Hyderabad. Husri is situated near Bihar Colony, a well-known larger housing society. Husri plays an important role in Hyderabad's and to a certain extent, Sindh's politics. A recent study concluded through internal information gathered by elderly residents of the town proposed that this town is known to be over 100 years old. Husri involves locals that are a part of the 'Sindh' proclaimed as villagers that are one of the most marginalized groups in the region and part of the country's agricultural sector in Interior Sindh. Besides, after the 1947 Partition, the majority of India remained stranded, leading to the migration of locals from Bihar District of India and numerous Hindus occupied portion of land for residency. They are still situated within the local town, near the nearby streamline of water originating from Indus River (Sindh Dariya) in abundance. The population variety is observable due to presence of Muhajirs, Sindhis, Biharis, Hindus, and other respective groups co-exist. Husri villagers, religious preachers, shopkeepers, businessmen, landlords, social workers, students all have a long and proud history and play an important role in Husri's cultural heritage. This micro city has a widespread abundance of garments, toys etc. Various politicians from Sindh visit this diversified town. It is widely known for its politics. Most of the town supports PPP (Pakistan's Peoples Party). In Pakistan, figures indicate that intake of vitamin-rich foods is a challenge for many people. As compared to Hyderabad food, often in towns/urban areas such as Husri Union Council, the local diets (food quality, oil) are inadequate in terms of nutrient consumption, which eventually leads to undernutrition contributing to the decline of cognitive skills in the long run. However, the upper-class sector of peoples & financially equipped locals within the region can often visit Hyderabad to purchase groceries, re-fill food/pharmaceutical stocks back in the town, buy furniture & building materials, etc. to enhance the living standard of Husri.
