With a population of 473,129, Sheikhupura is no sleepy backwater. This industrial satellite town 38 km northwest of Lahore serves as a headquarters for its district, but the bureaucratic headaches here are a persistent reality. Communal tensions also flared up violently during Partition, with an estimated 10,000 killed in just two weeks. While the city has grown over 68% since the 1990s, those seeking a quiet, peaceful life may want to look elsewhere.
