Abstract
This research aims to explore the identity formation of the Delhiwala community after their migration to Pakistan from Delhi, India at Partition, and the subsequent socio-political use of this identity henceforth. It unravels the origins and history of this community back in Delhi and their present-day conditions in Karachi. This research also explores the reasoning behind the formation and use of such identities: what underlying traditions are responsible for it and the thought process behind that. Comparison with relevant communities, with a similar history, is also discussed to better understand the identity formation of the Delhiwala community, before a conclusive statement can be made about the use of their identity socio-politically.
