The research study, “comparative analysis of representation of religious minorities in Pakistani and Indian print media (1990 – 2010)”, was aimed to analyze the pattern of minority representation in Pakistani and Indian print media. It also investigated whether there are any biases with regard to the representation of religious minorities and specifically Indian Muslims and Pakistani Hindus in their respective print media considering the political relations between Pakistan and India in the selected time period. Furthermore, the study highlighted the included and excluded discourses related to minorities in the Pakistani and Indian print media. Content analysis and critical discourse analysis were applied to analyze the media text. Working under the theory of media hegemony the study concluded that there is an unequal and biased representation of religious minorities in Pakistani and Indian print media. Pakistani print media has been more silent with respect to Pakistani Hindus whereas Indian print media has given more negative representation to Indian Muslims. The nature of representation of Hindu and Muslim minority of both countries has not been found in relation with the broader political relations between Pakistan and India. Moreover, particular issues related to different religious minorities have been raised in both media.
