Has Islam had any affect on the caste system in pakistan?

Are ‘lower’ caste discriminated against?

How strong is the caste system when it comes to friendships, social gatherings, marriage?

The reason I ask because Indians muslims have a caste system as strong as Hindus.

pakistan does have caste system and lower caste are discriminated against, but not as bad as in india.
i m punjabi and have strong connections with villages, and i saw many people dont even want to treat lower caste people as humans. they would bash them for no reason and control their lives.
to be honest, what i notice is that people dont really care what islam says about equality or such, all they care is TRADITION and IZZAT. and will do any thing for it.

^ its alive & kicking in pakistan as well

why are you so sure that situation in india is worse than it is in pakistan. how many former dalits and low casts converted to islam have raised to a better social life in pakistan. your all politicians come from landlord classes, whereas in india the largest area pupolation wise, UP, is controlled today by a low cast dalit woman.

Islam bans the idea of caste. There is only one caste and this is the caste of Allah. May Allah guide these people to the right path.

Islam has absolutely no discrimination b/w humans, yes it separate them into two groups for administration purpose only (Muslims and non muslims) not at human level itself.

By the way where is the ISLAM in Pakistan!!!!!!!!!!. So upon seeing the caste system in Pakistan u cant blame ISLAM for that. We are still enslaved mentally by colonialism and imperialism of western world.

Don't blame it on the Western World alright? Such a lanat lays on this Country that it rejected the money of the late Noble Price Winner Dr. Abdus Salam. He wanted to open a Science School in Pakistan and Lantistan rejected it. He gave the money to Italy.

It's such a lanti country that it didn't even invite the Noble Prize Winner even though it should've been the first country to invite him. His homeland. Pakistan was pressured by the other countries to invite.

"If you don't want to invite him, then invite him as your citizen"

Pakistan asked what can it do for Dr. Abdus Salam. He said I have only one wish. I want to mentioned as a Muslim in my Passport. That is enough.

:(

Blame it on yourself. Blame it on yourself that you wanted to lead Jihad against the British Empire who let you practise your Religion freely, blame it on yourself that Pakistan is in this state by rejecting it's jewels Chaudry Muhammad Zafrullah Khan and Dr. Abdus Salam.

I went offtopic, enoug said.

There is no caste system in Pakistan.
Yes people are discriminated against at government level based on their rural or urban origin ( quota system).

Then the masses discriminate against each other based or each other's province on intra provincial level. Then there is religious and inter provincial discrimination based on origin of a person from certain part of a province.

Could these discriminations be called cast based ?

In this thread you were talking about peace and naram dil etc here you are making hate speech about your own country and its people , whats up with that ?

I’m not making a hate speech. I know brother, THE TRUTH HURTS. It’s not my country, never was and never will be. This is not my Pakistan. This is not the Pakistan my ancestors and many other fought for.

Forget the Ahmadi Conflict. They are crying in heaven anyway.

OK now I understand background of your hate infested speech.

Re: Has Islam had any affect on the caste system in pakistan?

How abt spelling out why Dr.Salam's money was rejected and who did that?

:k: Well said.

people are discriminated based on what work they do and their families and its very common. i have seen this most of my life. upper casts also known as juts are seen superior than others in punjab.

Can you look in my heart and tell me that I HATE PAKISTAN :mad::aj:

I had tears in my eyes when I wrote what I wrote. WHAT CAN I SAY YOU ALL ARE GODS, YOU ALL CAN SEE IN OUR HEARTS.

YOU ONLY SEE THE ALLEGED HATE IN ME RIGHT, BUT YOU DON’T SEE WHAT PAKISTAN DID AND IS DOIN’…BRAVO :slight_smile:

DON’T TALK TO ME ANYMORE IF YOU WANT TO ACCUSE ME OF SOMETHING YOU HAVEN’T EVEN THE SLIGHTEST IDEA OF

THANK YOU VERY MUCH
