Abstract: Reports on Anti-Ahmadiyyah Violence archives material related to my monograph The Ahmadis and the Politics of Religious Exclusion in Pakistan, published in 2014 by Anthem Press and awarded the Karachi Festival Peace Prize.This collection includes the daily proceedings of the Court of Inquiry set up by the Government of Punjab to investigate the anti-Ahmadi violence in 1953.While the widely available MunirReport -named after Justice Munir, who led the inquiry -provides a summary, these detailed proceedings reveal nuances and omissions that shaped the official narrative of events.The project is housed within the Lahore University of Management Sciences' LUMS Digital Archive, a research repository that provides valuable archival material for researchers, students, and general readers.Our goal is to provide digitized copies and curate the material, making it easily accessible for rigorous scholarly analysis and historical understanding.Since making these documents available, many community historians, history enthusiasts, and advocacy groups like Hashiya, which creates animated videos on critical historical, political, and religious topics, have utilized this material for research and education.
