What is not well known is how these laws came about; from originally being designed in Chapter XV of the Pakistan Penal Code, to safeguard all religions of British India. Dr F. A. Nazir places the discussion of offences relating to religion in the historical context of the south Asian subcontinent, the institution of penal codes in British India during the colonial period, and developments in legislation after 1947 independence and the creation of the state of Pakistan and in postcolonialism. Dr Nazir's historical and legal analysis demonstrates how these laws affect indigenous Christian communities and other religious minorities, including Muslim groups. Nazir's thorough and rigorous historical research brings important understanding and reflection to contemporary religious laws, religious rights and multi-faith society in Pakistan. -- $c Provided by publisher, page 4 of cover. 650 0 $a Offenses against religion $x History $z India $x History $y British occupation, 1765-1947. 650 0 $a Offenses against religion $x Law and legislation $z Pakistan. 650 0 $a Freedom of religion $z India $x History $y British occupation, 1765-1947. 650 0 $a Freedom of religion $z Pakistan. 650 0 $a Religious discrimination $x History $z India $x History $y British occupation, 1765-1947. 650 0 $a Religious discrimination $x Law and legislation $z Pakistan. 650 0 $a Religious minorities $x History $x History $y British occupation, 1765-1947. 650 0 $a Religious minorities $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z Pakistan. 650 7 $a Freedom of religion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00934030 650 7 $a Offenses against religion $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01909966 650 7 $a Religion and state. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01093863 650 7 $a Religious discrimination $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01904464 650 7 $a Religious minorities $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01094195 651 7 $a India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200318013500.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=04719C400CF611EA99B9112E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
