Talk:Pakistani diaspora

message: Being that 1/3rd of the expatriate population live in the middle east, I think it would be good to start an article about Pakistanis residing the Middle East, specifically the UAE and Saudi Arabia. We can also mention Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain (mostly the Gulf Nations). Not sure about any Pakistanis living in the other parts of the ME.

The numbers are incorrect. Latest numbers are from 2005 and can be found at OPF (Overseas Pakistani Foundation)  --Slayer00 (talk) 13:27, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I am suggesting it be merged with :Category:Pakistani diaspora, as they aren't both needed and the adjectival form of name seems more widely used in similar categories. PamD (talk) 15:14, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

message: The article is using outdated data. More recent estimates for the number of overseas Pakistanis in each country are provided in this detailed article: Where expatriates who reach the top come from, The News (2012). The table may need to be updated accordingly. Mar4d (talk) 13:14, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

message: Pakistani numbers in different countries is full of made up numbers - typical paki behaviour (boasting)
For example Hong Kong pakistani population is 17k whereas it mentions 2-3 times of that population!!!!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.199.6.79 (talk) 08:23, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  issue 

message: Recently I edited the overseas Pakistani article and made some corrections and added new information (population in particular). I also included was "Emigration from Pakistan", which both Overseas Chinese and Non Resident Indians use as well. To my dismay, the entire subsections (prehistory, middle ages and colonial era) were deleted without any reason by Wiki editor User:LouisAragon. No reason was given, it was simply deleted. I don't understand why double standards are being employed here. Pakistani isn't an ethnicity...it's just a nationality. The ethnic groups that make up the country have been around for a long time and have a history of migration. Sindhis are found only in Pakistan, so who else is going to talk about Sindhi merchants trading with the far east? Baloch are mainly in Pakistan, who else is going to talk about Baloch settlers coming in contact with Arab tribes and settling in Bedoon communities? The Canadians? The Russians? I mean I really don't get the point of deleting it. Personally speaking, I think it was just one out of spite. Had this been a universal rule (that no history be added before the country's independence) then why wasn't Non Resident Indian and Overseas Chinese articles edited? I even asked this directly from LouisAragon but he refuses to answer, which pretty much proves my point. Could a rational editor please look into my edits (which I provided full proper sources for) and consider reverting back to mine version of the article. I look forward to your response. Thanks. --PAKHIGHWAY (talk) 15:10, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Emigration From Pakistan section edit war 

message: It simply boggles my mind as to why a particular editor continues to cite population of overseas Pakistanis based on multiple foreign sources. The Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis already has a database with the numbers posted...this article has to do with Overseas Pakistanis, not "Italian Pakistanis". So can someone please intervene here and salvage this ridiculous article? --99.244.148.132 (talk) 20:08, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Requested move 18 April 2023 

message: I would like to expand on the section talking about Pakistani immigration to the U.K. as I would like to add some clarity and further explanation to that section. The source that will be referenced is the book, Kinship and Continuity: Pakistani Families in Britain by Alison Shaw who is a professor of anthropology at Oxford. I would like to add around 4-6 sentences on the topic discussing why people migrated to Britain, the laws that allowed them to migrate there, and where they settled in Britain. I would like to talk about the 1948 British Nationality Act that allowed Pakistanis, as part of the British Empire, to go to the U.K. without difficulty which would explain why the immigrants chose to go the Britain over any other country. I would also like to add something about the exact cities or towns that the immigrants went to to live and work after they arrived in Britain. There would also be a section added on the towns and regions that the immigrants left in Pakistan and why they chose to leave for Britain. Please let me know if these changes are acceptable, thank you.
