Does it get the name from the indigenous Pathans (Pashtuns)?
The article reads as follows: [edit] Demographics As of 2001 India census,[2] Pathankot had a population of 159,559. Males constitute 55% of the population and females 45%. Pathankot has an average literacy rate of 77%, higher than the national average of 59.5%: male literacy is 80%, and female literacy is 73%. In Pathankot, 11% of the population is under 6 years of age. In Pathankot, Punjabi, Hindi,Dogri, Pashto are spoken . 80% of the population are Hindus, 15% are Sikhs and 5% are Christians.
There is very much a discrepancy: According to the demographics, there are 0% Muslim. However, one of the major languages is Pashto. Remember, Pashto is the language of the Pashtuns who are 100% Muslim. This doesn't make sense, as none of the Hindus/Sikhs/Christians have a need for Pashto language. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.180.183.131 (talk) 15:26, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
