Religious Assimilation
Assimilation also includes the (often forced) conversion or secularization of religious members of a minority group.
Throughout the Middle Ages and until the mid-19th century, most Jews in Europe were forced to live in small towns (shtetls) and were restricted from entering universities or high-level professions. See also Christianity in Pakistan for contemporary issues.
