Non-NPOV and lack of sources in part of the Christian section

[edit]

There is a small myth that Christianity has been existent in Pakistan ever since a few decades after the crucifixion of Jesus. This myth became more popular after the finding of a structure looking like a giant cross in Northern Pakistan, but there is almost no evidence that this cross is related to Christianity.

"Myth" is a loaded word in this context, maybe it should be changed to "misconception". Also, there are no sources for any of this. Gwrui (talk) 05:21, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unverifiable Reference, 1951

[edit]

According to the article, 14.8% of West Pakistanis were Hindu in 1941, and the fraction fell precipitously to 1.6% in 1951. However, the reference to Census of Pakistan is a bitstream outlet located in India which does not work. Pakistani census bulletins located at DSpace do not include religion. Can someone provide a usable link to (West) Pakistan religion data in 1951? I searched for about 3 hours to locate it online. Sooku (talk) 04:48, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This link seems to be stable. The sourced link in the article doesn't seem to work anymore for some reason.Van00220 (talk) 21:20, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 26 May 2024

[edit]

Cases collected by Global Human Rights Defence show that underage Hindu (and Christian) girls are often targeted by Muslims for forced conversion to Islam.[15] According to the National Commission of Justice and Peace and the Pakistan Hindu Council (PHC) around 1,000 non-Muslim minority women are converted to Islam and then forcibly married off to their abductors or rapists.[100][16]

Remove from article as it is unrelated to the rest of the section and may introduce unnecessary biases. WalterWhite13 (talk) 05:30, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Secularism

[edit]

Jinnah’s advocacy for the Two-Nation Theory and frequent references to Islamic principles suggest he envisioned an Islamic state. While his August 11, 1947 speech is cited to support secularism, it was more about reassuring minorities than establishing a secular foundation. Early constitutional developments, like the Objective Resolution of 1949, further indicate an Islamic framework. Thus, portraying Jinnah as a clear proponent of secularism oversimplifies his stance and reflects contemporary biases rather than historical accuracy. CoolGenio (talk) 16:03, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
