Pakistan, like India, is said to have atmost 16 million Shias. Globally, Shias constitutes 10\% of the total Muslims, while the overwhelming majority (90\%) practice Sunni Islam. Of the Sunni, the majority follow the Barelvi school, while 15-25\% follow the Deobandi school of jurisprudence. An estimated 0.22\% -2.2 \% of the population are Ahmadi,The 1998 Pakistani census states that there are 291,000 (0.22\%) Ahmadis in Pakistan. However, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community has boycotted the census since 1974 which renders official Pakistani figures to be inaccurate. Independent groups have estimated the Pakistani Ahmadiyya population to be somewhere between 2 million and 5 million Ahmadis. However, the 4 million figure is the most quoted figure and is approximately 2.2\% of the country.
