Deendar

Deendar (Urdu: دين دار, romanized: dīn dar, lit. 'follower of religion') is a Muslim community in Pakistan. During the British Raj, some members of the Chuhra community converted to Christianity. After the independence of Pakistan in 1947, some of those Chuhra Christians converted to Islam. Them and their descendants became known as Deendar or Deendar Changar in Pakistan.[1]
