== Population of scheduled caste in Pakistan == |
|
|
The '''Scheduled Caste''' population in Pakistan is predominantly concentrated in the '''Sindh''' province and is considered to represent a substantial segment of the country's '''Hindu community'''. Although precise population figures vary due to differences in census data and demographic estimates, it is generally suggested that Scheduled Castes make up about '''90-95%''' of the Hindu population in Pakistan.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/197657-Scheduled-castes-have-a-separate-box-for-them-but-only-if-anybody-knew|title=Scheduled castes have a separate box for them, but only if anybody knew|access-date=19 September 2020|archive-date=25 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210125125937/https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/197657-Scheduled-castes-have-a-separate-box-for-them-but-only-if-anybody-knew|url-status=live}}</ref> |

Hindus are estimated to account for '''1.85%''' of Pakistan's total population, translating to roughly '''4 million people''' in a country with over '''240 million residents'''<ref>{{Cite news |last=Rehman |first=I.A. |date=18 June 2015 |title=The miserable scheduled castes |url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1188782 |url-status=live |work= ]}}</ref> . Given that Scheduled Castes constitute a majority within this group, their population is estimated to be between '''3.6 million to 3.8 million''' individuals. These figures remain approximations due to the absence of detailed recent demographic data specifically focused on Scheduled Caste communities. <ref>{{cite news |last1=Patel |first1=Shaista Abdul Aziz |title=It is time to talk about caste in Pakistan and Pakistani diaspora |url=https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2020/12/15/it-is-time-to-talk-about-caste-in-pakistan-and-pakistani-diaspora |access-date=15 Dec 2020 |publisher=Al Jazeera English |date=15 Dec 2020}}</ref> |
