Dunno yaar, I've known Hindus, Sikhs and Christian Pakistanis and I know people who know others besides them but I've never met a Jain nor have I met anyone whose met one !

 

[nitesh28]

well i guess then there are no Jains left in Pakistan. Or maybe they are mixed as Hindus.

Most Pakistanis can't tell the difference between Jains and Hindus.

There might be jains living in Pakistan and particularly Sindh but the issue is that they are treated same as Hindus. Most Pakistanis can't differentiate between Hindus and Jains.

No not in Lahore. There used to be a Jain Mandir (place is still call Jain Mandir), which was used for living by the punjabi mohajirs from East Punjab. When Babri masjid was demolished , a stupid mob demolished it. Local lahoris still regret its destruction since Jains, as mentioned by the old community of Lahore were very peaceful people.

But before any one here put blame on the molvis or the Islamist the mandir of DAV college (Now Islamia College) was defended by the Jamiyat people and was not allowed to be destroyed
