Hindu and Buddhist Architectural Heritage of Pakistan - Punjab

Punjab

The Punjabis were predominantly Hindu with large minorities of Buddhists like the rest of South Asia, when Umayyad Muslim Arab army led by Muhammad bin Qasim attacked Sindh and lower Punjab, in 713. This started the process of Islamic conversion among the population of Punjab, as well as India. This process continued for the next 10 centuries but there were significant non-Muslim populations including Hindus and later Sikhs:

  • Pothohar Plateau
  • Sagala
  • Sialkot
  • Ganeriwala
  • Tulamba
  • Dipalpur
  • Okara District
  • Mankiala
