	abstract = {This introduction to the special section of <em>South Asia: Journal of South Asian Studies</em>, titled {\textquoteleft}Religious Minorities in Pakistan{\textquoteright}, reviews the existing scholarship on this topic, points out gaps in the research, and discusses problematic notions and assumptions in both popular and academic discourses on minorities. Furthermore, it attempts a definition of the term {\textquoteleft}religious minority{\textquoteright}, demonstrates its extensive entanglement with the question of caste{\textemdash}a characteristic specific to the South Asian case{\textemdash}and situates this discourse within broader debates about post-colonial state-building, the history of sectarianism in the region, contestations over religious authority, and the striving for a coherent political and cultural identity in Pakistan, the second-largest Muslim nation in the world.},
