Answer:
Christianity in Pakistan
Christianity is the third largest religion in Pakistan.According to the 2017 Census, the proportion of Christians in Pakistan was estimated as about 1.27% of the population. Of these, approximately half are Catholic and half Protestant. A small number of Eastern Orthodox Christians, and Oriental Orthodox Christians also live in Pakistan.
Around 75 percent of Pakistan's Christians are rural Punjabi Christians, with the remainder including more affluent Goan Christians and Anglo-Indians.
As Punjabi Christians are mainly Dalit Christians—descendants of lower-caste Hindus who converted during the colonial era in India—their dire socio-economic conditions facilitate religious discrimination; for example, it is estimated that Christians fill about 80% of the manual sewer cleaning jobs in the whole of Pakistan.
