In pictures: Karachi on Independence Day
On the beach
On 14 August, tens of thousands of people throng to Clifton Beach in Karachi to celebrate Independence Day.
It is no different this time around, though large parts of the city remain submerged in rain water. There is also a sombre mood after the upheavals of the past six months.
