How could a Part of Gujrat, an Indian State, be claimed by Pakistan?
As mentioned above, Wikipedia shows some part of Gujarat, an Indian state, claimed by Pakistan. How can they claim it, and further how can Wiki show it so? You should remove the statement. 43.241.25.66 (talk) 07:16, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Questionable deletion of content
Uzek deleted the following fragment, claiming "Which is why I said "not what the source says". Read the source
":
In December 2018, Pakistan's government defended China's re-education camps for a million Uyghur Muslims.[1][2]
References
- ^ "Why Muslim nations remain silent as China sends ethnic minorities to re-education camps". ABC News. 23 December 2018.
- ^ "Detention camps: Why Pakistan is silent about plight of fellow muslims in China". The Times of India. 23 December 2018.
The first source says:
Pakistan has gone even further by defending China, saying the reporting on the Uyghurs' situation has been "sensationalised" by Western media.
And the second source:
A day before Indonesian protests, Pakistan defended China against a growing outcry over Muslims who are being detained by Chinese authorities, saying the issue was being "sensationalised" by foreign media.
Can User:Uzek explain what he means by "not what the source says"? -- Kautilya3 (talk) 08:18, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
When I read "Pakistan defended concentration camps" I was expecting literal defending/agreeing with the concentration camps not denying they exist or complaining about "sensationalization of the issue by foreign media" by God knows which person. This looks like fake news to begin with or an attempt at WP: SYNTHESIS Uzek (talk) 10:13, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
User:Kautilya3 Why did you restore exactly the same looking sentence with the same meaning with a misleading edit summary of a "clarified" version without engaging here first?
Do you understand what defending something means ? Uzek (talk) 14:12, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
Also another thing, WHY are you leaving MISLEADING EDIT SUMMARIES + warning messages on my talk page about "SEVERAL REVERTS" (I only reverted one edit) when it is you who is edit warring? lol

Junagadh and Manavadar are claimed by Pakistan since 1947, you can find it on the official website of Pakistan (official map of Pakistan) no idea who but someone is trying to change it. 39.37.152.55 (talk) 20:04, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
Secularism
Is Pakistan a Secular country or Islamic country?
Doesn't article 20, 21, 22, 25 makes Pakistan a Secular country which deals with human rights, freedom and Equality. Doesn't it necessary to mention those in religion section of this page.
The main principles of Secularism in the Constitution of Pakistan were incorporated in its Human rights in Pakistan/fundamental rights which were granted under various articles of 20, 21, 22 & 25 of the constitution. "Fundamental Rights in Pakistan – PHRO". -
(a) Article 20 : Freedom to profess religion and to manage religious institutions."Article 20 freedom to profess religion and to manage religious institutions – the Constitution of Pakistan, 1973 Developed by Zain Sheikh | Fake Rolex Replica Watches, Advocates & Corporate Consultants".
(b) Article 21 : Safeguard against taxation for purposes of any particular religion.Pakistan Laws on Human Rights - Humanitarian Library
(c) Article 22 : Safeguards as to educational institutions in respect of religion, etc."Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan 1973 - Part II". www.commonlii.org.
(d) Article 25 : Equality of citizens."Article: 25 Equality of citizens – the Constitution of Pakistan, 1973 Developed by Zain Sheikh | Fake Rolex Replica Watches, Advocates & Corporate Consultants".
@Worldbruce:, @Meghmollar2017: What's your opinion regarding this ? Pitush Puttar (talk) 17:46, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
Furthermore, Pakistan didn't adopt Islamic Sharia laws in its constitution. It's constitution still have British Legacies.
@Meghmollar2017: Isn't it MOS; as it's putting "Islamic" sentiment first in the religious article of this page? Pitush Puttar (talk) 17:52, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
- The constitution is a primary source. Analyzing, evaluating, and interpreting whether various articles of it mean that Pakistan is secular or Islamic is not allowed on Wikipedia. Secondary sources, preferably recent books by scholars published by academic presses, are required in order to answer the question. --Worldbruce (talk) 18:13, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

I would like to add the Mongols in this list as clearly Pakistan was part of the Mongol empire.
Pakistan was the realm of multiple empires and dynasties, including the Achaemenid; briefly that of Alexander the Great; the Seleucid, the Maurya, the Kushan, the Gupta;[20] the Umayyad Caliphate in its southern regions, the Hindu Shahis, the Ghaznavids, the Delhi Sultanate, the Mughals,[21] the Durranis, the Omani Empire, the Sikh Empire, British East India Company rule, and most recently, the British Raj from 1858 to 1947. 2603:8000:2C41:C000:4909:4BD2:AED5:9461 (talk) 06:44, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

There is no evidence for the quote from Rahmat Ali in the explanation of the name on the main page. It does not appear anywhere in Now or Never. I think we should replace it with the following, which actually comes from Now Or Never:
"I am enclosing herewith an appeal on behalf of the thirty million Muslims of PAKISTAN, who live in the five Northern Units of India--Punjab, North-West Frontier (Afghan) Province, Kashmir, Sind, and Baluchistan. It embodies their demand for the recognition of their national status, as distinct from the other inhabitants of India, by the grant to Pakistan of a separate Federal Constitution on religious, social and historical grounds." Scarsdale.vibe (talk) 22:58, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
- PAKISTAN is indeed an acronym coined by Rahmat Ali. [1] Solblaze (talk) 07:41, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

Rahmat Ali and three Cambridge colleagues coined the name as an acronym for Punjab, Afghania (North-West Frontier Province), Kashmir, and Indus-Sind, combined with the -stan suffix from Baluchistan (Balochistan). It was later pointed out that, when translated from Urdu, Pakistan could also mean "Land of the Pure."
Repeated Information
The explanation of Urdu being the 'lingua franca' of Pakistan's languages, has been mentioned twice in identical fashion. The bottom paragraph of "Demographics" & also immediately underneath in the first paragraph of Ethnicity and languages.

I think that the provincial languages section should be removed as it minimizes the presence of other languages in their respective provinces, e.g. Khowar in KPK, Hindko in KPK, Brahui in Balochistan. Also, Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir are technically not provinces but have their own languages that should be recognized. Only including Pashto, Punjabi, and Sindhi in the info-box disregards the dozens of other languages spoken in Pakistan. And, Balochi isn't even included in the list for some reason...Swordfish31 (talk) 07:21, 4 April 2023 (UTC) Swordfish31 (talk) 07:21, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
Not done: contents are leading spoken languages as otherwise seen at Languages of Pakistan. Iseult Δx parlez moi 22:42, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
- The heading for the "contents" reads "provincial languages", not "leading spoken languages". If "provincial languages" are going to be included (which I do not think is an official term in the census of Pakistan) then Balochi must be included, as it would be the provincial language of Balochistan. Swordfish31 (talk) 02:56, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
- Yes. I do agree that the provincial languages section should be removed as it isn't that important on the main page because the languages are adopted by Provincial Legislatures for their respective provinces and not by the Central Parliament of Pakistan or the Government or the Constitution. So, it makes it a bit off with the context. Historianist01 (talk) 13:05, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

Paleolithic
@Sutyarashi: You are adding back this edit without consensus.
Can you show some quality reliable sources which are detailing history of Pakistan and also mentioning Soanian culture? Having a paleolithic culture is not a big deal and they are found in many places. Aman Kumar Goel (Talk) 01:35, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
- All sources discussing stone age of the region mention it.[1][2] As its type site is in Soan valley, it can be included. Sutyarashi (talk) 06:00, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
- I asked for
"quality reliable sources which are detailing history of Pakistan and also mentioning Soanian culture"
. First source is specifically about paleolithic settlements in Asia, while second source is self-published and unreliable. Aman Kumar Goel (Talk) 06:50, 9 April 2023 (UTC)- Not as an "Ancient culture", but if it is added that Pakistan has been inhabited since the Paleolithic period (just like main articles on all other countries), I believe there should not be any problem with it. Sutyarashi (talk) 16:41, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
- It is not a big deal to be "inhabited since Paleolithic period". It would need mention only if Paleolithic culture is actually relevant to the history of Pakistan but like I said, it will be decided by the quality reliable sources which are detailing history of Pakistan and making description of this Paleolithic culture. Aman Kumar Goel (Talk) 04:08, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
- How can you say it is not relevant to the history of Pakistan when the Soanian culture's sites have been found across Pakistan and is named after the Soan Valley? Swordfish31 (talk) 02:32, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
- Here: A Brief History of Pakistan. P.13 mentions Soanians (and pre-Soanians). Iskandar323 (talk) 12:08, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

Sattar Alvi in Military History - Proposed Change
Hey, I propose we change the "In the 1973 war, one of the PAF pilots, Flt. Lt. Sattar Alvi (flying a MiG-21), shot down an Israeli Air Force Mirage and was honoured by the Syrian government." To "According to modern Pakistani sources, in 1974, one of the PAF pilots, Flt. Lt. Sattar Alvi (flying a MiG-21), shot down an Israeli Air Force Mirage, killing the pilot, Captain M. Lutz. For this action, Alvi was honoured by the Syrian government. However, no major sources from the time reported on such an incident, and there is no mention of "Captain Lutz" in Israel's Ministry of Defense's record of Israel's casualties of war." This is in accordance to what is written in the Sattar Alvi article itself, where there are sources to back up the contrasting claims. Lainad27 (talk) 02:20, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Aman.kumar.goel, @نعم البدل, @Sutyarashi. What do you think? Lainad27 (talk) 02:19, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
