Mahdavia
The number of Mahdavis is not known with any confidence. Gall (1998) stated that they were "estimated to number over 750,000 people", while the United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations in 2004 stated that there were "approximately 200,000".
The Mahdavis form a local majority in Pakistan's Gwadar District,
and there are sizable communities in Karachi, the Pakistani part of Makran, Lasbela District, and Quetta, and in Pakistan's Sindh province.
Their concentration in urban Karachi is due to many Mahdavis having relocated to
the city, especially the neighborhood of Lyari Town.
