The Marwari Muslims or Marwadi Muslims are an Indian and Pakistani ethnic group that originate from the Rajasthan region of India. Their language, also called Marwari, is a dialect of Rajasthani and is a part of the western group of Indo-Aryan languages. Marwari Muslims are very prominent in industry and medium-sized businesses. Many members of this community migrated to Pakistan in 1947 and have settled in Karachi and Sindh, contributing greatly to the general welfare and economy of Pakistan.
According to 2001 Indian census,[1] There were 4,788,227 Muslims in Rajasthan and constituted 8.47% of the state. There are estimated very small or none Marwari Muslims in Pakistan[according to whom?].
