Description
This Routledge book explores the compelling story of Pakistan's Christian community through the life of Bishop John Joseph, the first native Pakistani Catholic bishop whose 1998 suicide protest against blasphemy laws brought international attention to religious persecution. The narrative traces how Pakistani Christians, predominantly descended from untouchables converted in the late 19th century, have navigated their faith amid efforts to define Islam's role in Pakistan's identity. John Joseph's personal sacrifice becomes a lens for understanding the broader struggle of religious minorities seeking dignity and hope in a nation where minority faith remains linked to social marginalisation. This historical biography examines the complex intersection of faith, law, and cultural identity that continues to shape Pakistan's Christian population, offering readers insight into one of South Asia's most pressing human rights issues and the courageous individuals who have resisted injustice within their communities.

Key Features

The book centres on Bishop John Joseph's life and his dramatic 1998 protest against Pakistan's blasphemy laws through his suicide at a courthouse.

It provides historical context on Pakistani Christians as descendants of untouchables converted to Christianity during the late 19th century.

The narrative examines how minority religious status in Pakistan remains connected to social and economic marginalisation.

Published by Routledge, this biography combines personal testimony with broader analysis of religious conflict in South Asia.
