The Minority Project is CAP’s unique venture that taps into the lives and lifestyles of religious minorities across Pakistan. Since September 2010, the team has worked consistently with the Hindu, Sikh, Christian, Baha’i, and Zoroastrian communities in the country. With over two hundred personal narratives, the Minority Project archive gives deep insight into the history, culture, traditions, rituals, and valuable contributions made by these communities to Pakistani history and heritage.

Apart from detailed oral histories, the Minority Project team has also documented the religious festivals of the five communities. Photographs, audio, and videos have been archived from the Hindu festivals of Holi, Diwali, Shivratri, Vaisakhi, Sri Krishna Janmashtami, Durga Pooja, Dashera and Sri Valmiki’s birthday and the Sikh religious occasions of Guru Gobind’s birthday, Lohri, Sikh New Year, Vaisakhi, Guru Nanak Jayanti, Ranjit Singh’s death anniversary and the martyrdom of Guru Arjun Dev. For the Christian community, the team was involved in Christmas, Maryam Yatra, Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday celebrations while the Zoroastrian festival of Navroz and the Baha’i celebrations of Hazrat Bab’s birthday were also documented by CAP. The Minority Project archive adds a holistic element to OHP, documenting those individuals often left out of mainstream discourse.
