Rizvia Society is a neighborhood in the Karachi Central district of Karachi, Pakistan. It was previously a part of Liaquatabad Town,[1] which was disbanded in 2011. This neighbourhood is predominantly populated by Shia Muslims.
After the independence of Pakistan in 1947, Rizvia Colony was made by a schoolteacher of Sindh Madressah, Maulana Aneesul Hasnain, along with Advocate Qazalbash in 1948. Their concept was to provide plots exclusively to Shias, and not to people of other sects.[2]
