Article written on fanpoint view[edit]
Overall I believe strongly that i have found some biases in the article that might apply with the Wiki:NPOV, as a member of Wikipedia community i believe that it is strongly needed for the article to be reedited with a neutral point of view (NPOV) to ensure that information is presented in a way that is knowledgeable for all.
Here are some lines which i strongly believe can be of a fan's point of view:
Article title
The Muhajirs are the most educated, and affluent ethnic group in Pakistan. Because of this, they constituted a influential community in the earlier years of post-partition Pakistan.
Geographic distribution, Pakistan
The muhajir dominance of Urban sindh has led to that region being referred to as Urdu-speaking Sindh.
History
On 14 August 1947, the muhajir led Pakistan movement succeeded in creating an independent state for Indian Muslims under the banner of Pakistan.
- 1958-1970
The percentage of Muhajirs in the civil service declined while the percentage of non-muhajirs increased.
Society
- Economic status
and pay more taxes than any other ethnic group.
- Education
Muhajirs are seen as the most-educated and literate ethnic group in Pakistan. ⭐️ Starkex ⭐️ 📧 ✍️ 06:10, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

- This reply was highly unprofessional and written from a biased view nevertheless I appreciate you're opinion, this reply explains Muhajir inferiority complexes that have existed since 1947 against every other group of Pakistan that doesn't speak Urdu.
Thanks.
⭐️ Starkex ⭐️ 📧 ✍️ 16:20, 10 March 2023 (UTC)- Nice one. Most educated and richest ethnic group feeling inferior. But whatever, lets get on with this so-called Fan POV
- The Muhajirs are the most educated, and affluent ethnic group in Pakistan. Because of this, they constituted a influential community in the earlier years of post-partition Pakistan. This has been cited and is a fact, like US is the most influential country in the world. This is a plain fact. Read the rest of the article and you will understand how muhajirs were influential and btw urdu the national language of pakistan is native to only one ethnicity of Pakistan: muhajirs.
- The muhajir dominance of Urban sindh has led to that region being referred to as Urdu-speaking Sindh. I changed this slightly to this region is sometimes referred to as Urdu-speaking Sindh because of its large muhajir population
- On 14 August 1947, the muhajir led Pakistan movement succeeded in creating an independent state for Indian Muslims under the banner of Pakistan. Cited and plain fact, muhajirs dominated AIML and made pakistan.
- The percentage of Muhajirs in the civil service declined while the percentage of non-muhajirs increased. Removed this because this was irrelevant, the paragraph was talking about elections not jobs.
- and pay more taxes than any other ethnic group Cited and fact not POV

- @Starkex: I left a warning on that user's page. Not all Muhajirs speak Urdu and not all of them are Muslims and that's what's the problem with this persons edits.--Sylvester Millner (talk) 04:38, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

Understanding issues[edit]
@Starkex: I also left a message User:Flamealpha123 to avoid personalization of differences. Said that, let us come to content part. Starkex, Article subsections Muhajir (Pakistan)#Economic status and Muhajir (Pakistan)#Education seem to be well cited. And summary statements in lead do not need citation if supported by citations in rest of body text. Do you have any objections on citations used in these two subsections? Bookku (talk) 09:34, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you, nevertheless i appreciate you're contributions towards a neutral and knowledgeable WikiPedia. Starkex (talk) 18:13, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
- The sources seem like personal commentary and not published research; therefore they are not neutral and thereby not reliable.--Sylvester Millner (talk) 23:43, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
- @ToBeFree: this discussion is another complaint against Flamalpha's edits. That user tried to mislead you into thinking this is a complaint against my edits. It's not the case at all. If you look at it properly, this is a repeat of my complaint above in the previous discussion before this one. This discussion is not endorsing Flamealpha's edits as the user tried to make you believe. Rather it is a repeating concern against their edits.--Sylvester Millner (talk) 00:00, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

Question Regarding Muhajirs being Ethnolinguistic[edit]
The description of the page it is written as "Ethnolinguistic group...", I think there are mass errors with the description Muhajirs being ethnolinguistic, @Flamealpha123 do you understand the difference between Ethnoreligious and Ethnolinguistic and have you compared them both in contrast with the history of Muhajirs since 1947? I think you don't understand why migration of Indianized Muslims from India to Pakistan happened. ⭐️ Starkex ⭐️ 📧 ✍️ 12:28, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
- Please read WP:NPA, before mentioning me again. As for muhajir identity being a primarily linguistic one:

- I never made an personal attack on you, The reason I referred to you only is because in the span of months most of the edits in the article have been done by you only. That seems really biased. ⭐️ Starkex ⭐️ 📧 ✍️ 13:56, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
- Biased because I want to help Wikipedia grow? And btw what is this supposed to mean? I think you don't understand why migration of Indianized Muslims from India to Pakistan happened. Is this about my edits or me? Also look at this https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Muhajir_(Pakistan)&diff=prev&oldid=1143511618 you were the one who called us a ethnolinguistic group.

Extension needed[edit]
@Deepfriedokra: since you're the admin who semi-protected, I think it's a good idea to extend the semi-protection. Because between the time you protected and now, a number of accounts have edit warred. Mostly it was one promotional editor. But regardless of that user, this is an article that's edit warred enough on, so I don't think allowing the semi-protection to end is a good idea. It's better for this article to remain semi-protected for the foreseeable future. Sylvester Millner (talk) 05:40, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
- 2 months left in current protection -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 08:23, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
- @Deepfriedokra:, do you think that's a wise thing? Maybe it should be extended, considering it's being edit warred over enough with the current protection level. I don't think it's safe to be left unprotected.--Sylvester Millner (talk) 17:57, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
- @Sylvester Millner: You could request at WP:RFPP -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:29, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

Christian Muhajirs[edit]
Muhajirs refers to the Muslim immigrants from the present-day India, who immigrated to Pakistan. The term 'Muhajir' is itself a Muslim term. So, Christianity is irrelevant here. 103.169.65.150 (talk) 11:19, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
