Talk:Stranded Pakistanis in Bangladesh

Stranded Pakistanis in Bangladesh → Pakistani refugees in Bangladesh – Generally we call those type of people refugees, not "stranded". _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 13:54, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Generally not always, reliable sources such as news items and books refer to them as Stranded Pakistanis. Vinegarymass911 (talk) 17:21, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The great majority of them were never in today's Pakistan (what used to be called West Pakistan), so they can't be considered refugees from Pakistan (as that title might imply)... AnonMoos (talk) 08:44, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In that case, Pakistani minority in Bangladesh would be another name we could consider? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 21:08, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That name might be starting to become appropriate, but for 35 years they weren't considered Bangladeshi citizens (the older generation still aren't). AnonMoos (talk) 22:57, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Cannot be refugees, and no reason why being non-citizens doesn't stop them from being members of a minority: support Piotrus's proposal of Pakistani minority in Bangladesh. Kevin McE (talk) 14:25, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I oppose it because it's a vague bland generic name which does nothing to capture the specific historical experience of this group. Most times when you hear about "the X minority in Y", then a default mental image of the situation is assumed which would be incorrect for this case. Also, people from post-1974 Pakistan with valid Pakistani passports who travel to Bangladesh are completely separate from the group discussed in this article...
