Christian Muhajirs

Muhajirs refers to the Muslim immigrants from the present-day India, who immigrated to Pakistan. The term 'Muhajir' is itself a Muslim term. So, Christianity is irrelevant here. 103.169.65.150 (talk) 11:19, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The descendants of those Muslims, who immigrated to Pakistan from present-day India, do not call themselves Muhajirs. 'Muhajir' was the term only used for those individual immigrants, who immigrated to Pakistan, from present-day India. Just as Muhacir were only the individual Turks, who immigrated to Turkey from the areas,which formerly used to be under the rule of the Ottoman Empire. The term literally means 'immigrant', It should not be applied to all Urdu speakers, Gujarati speakers, and Tamil speakers, just because, some minorities among them, call themselves a 'Muhajir'. The universal accepted term for them, are "Urdu-speaking people", "Pakistani Gujarati-speaking people", "Pakistani Tamil-speaking people", etc. Even Anwar Maqsood and Farooq Sattar have talked regarding the term. I would humbly request these articles to be created and/or to improve them.^[1] Darlingliterature (talk) 14:04, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear, My objections are very clear. "Muhajir" (immigrant) is not a universally accepted term for the Muslims and their descendants, who immigrated to Pakistan from present-day India. Thus, I request to shift this article to Urdu-speaking people. And for the Pakistani Gujarati and Tamil Muslim communities, I request the new articles to be created for them. Thanks. Darlingliterature (talk) 12:16, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@M.Bitton Please reply, and share your thoughts. Thanks. Darlingliterature (talk) 11:34, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Darlingliterature: that's not an edit request. If you want to have those articles created, then you're going to have to write them yourself or ask someone who's familiar with the subjects. M.Bitton (talk) 11:39, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am not able to edit the extended protected article, until I made 500 edits (which is too far). So, I am unable to shift the article to Urdu-speaking people. Darlingliterature (talk) 13:26, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@M.Bitton Kindly suggest something that I can do. Darlingliterature (talk) 20:57, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I already suggested what you can do, so I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to suggest. M.Bitton (talk) 21:14, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@M.Bitton Kindly shift this article to Urdu-speaking people, Gujaratis in Pakistan, and Tamils in Pakistan, or give me the access to this article. I have provided why, this term is not universally accepted in Pakistan or elsewhere. Darlingliterature (talk) 21:51, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So-called "urdu speaking" people consist of only one group of several ethnicities that came to Pakistan. Not all of them were Muslims.--Sylvester Millner (talk) 22:00, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
