Bahadurabad (Template:Lang-ur) is one of the neighbourhoods of Gulshan Town, Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. It is located in the Civic Centre zone in the Gulshan Town. The neighbourhood was originally inhabited by mainly middle class Hyderabadi Muslim refugees from Hyderabad Deccan (now Hyderabad, Telangana, India) who migrated after the independence of Pakistan in 1947 after armed invasion and annexation of Hyderabad State by India in 1948.[1]

Bahadurabad is named after Bahadur Yar Jang, a Muslim nationalist from Hyderabad Deccan.[2] In 2007, a replica of the famous Charminar monument of Hyderabad, India was constructed on the main crossing of Bahadurabad.[3]
