Weren't they building a University at Nankana Saahib? Is that still on the cards? BTW my wife and I have been discussing a trip to Pakistan to get remarried under the Sikh Marriage Act.

question - were there any jews in this country? speaking out of curiosity as there were in afghanistan and lots are still in iran.

As of 2016 there are 900 registered jews voters in Pakistan. So overall their population probably is around 2500.

Work may start this year but as of now only in planning stages.

"Similarly, the repeated promises made by the ETPB Chairman regarding starting work on Baba Guru Nanak University, Nankana Sahib and Gandhara University, Taxila, at the end of 2016 couldn’t be fulfilled due to multiple issues."

Ya, that's still happening. They're in the process of relocating the squatters on the land.

From an article written on the 25th:

He stated that Board members had also expressed their full support in vacating occupied land to construct Baba Guru Nanak University in Nankana Sahib. He said Board had asked number of times Sheikh Rasheed, head of Awami Muslim League, to pay rent of the land, adjacent to Lal Haveli, he has been occupying for the last several years. He said if AML leader didn’t pay the dues, action would be taken against him accordingly.

“We have complete support of PM Nawaz Sharif and CM Shahbaz Sharif for Town Planning of Nankana Sahib and establishing the historic university", he claimed.

Please do, there's so much to see. I myself hope to see Indian Punjab someday.

You'll love Lahore, Faisalabad, Multan, Gujranwala, Sialkot, Nakana Sahib, and the rest of Punjab itself, of course. But I strongly recommend that you visit Karachi, Islamabad, Peshawar, Azad Kasmir, and the northern areas as well if you have the time. The sights, sounds, smell, food, and culture of these areas are great too.

Thanks bro, I will definitely try assuming there are no restrictions on me because of parents having held Indian citizenship.

If you come to Indian Punjab you'll find yourself welcomed everywhere and people fighting to invite you to their homes.

Please do.. I hope you share your experience with members on here. No doubt in my mind you will feel at home.

There are many places worth visiting. But I would have to say make sure you especially experience Lahore.

Jine lahore nai vekhya o jamya e ne!

Hello from India. Can u please tell me about what is known amongst Gujjars in Pakistan about their origin and their kingdoms.

Hello from India. Can u please tell me about what is known amongst Gujjars in Pakistan about their origin and their kingdoms.

Gujjars are a huge clan in Pakistan, 2nd largest in fact. They make up 20% of Pakistan's population. Most are settled in northern Punjab and Azad Kashmir. Gujjars are zamindars, and are viewed similar to Jatts. There is a popular saying here that Jatts and Gujjars share the same Nani. Both use "Chaudhry" as a title for respect.

As for origin that is up for debate.....

Bro - how are Pathans viewed in Punjab compared to Jatts and Gujjars? They are all garam khoon, do they get along most of the time?
