Muhajir
The term "Muhajir" refers to Muslim immigrants who migrated from India to Pakistan during the partition in 1947. This migration was a result of the division of British India into two separate nations, India and Pakistan, based on religious lines. The Muhajirs faced significant challenges as they left their homes and settled in a new country, often experiencing loss and displacement.
In Pakistan, the Muhajirs became an important part of the country's demographic and cultural landscape. They primarily settled in urban areas, particularly in Karachi, where they contributed to the economy and society. Over time, they formed distinct communities and played a significant role in the political and social development of Pakistan.
