Below are corrections to Lieberman and Singh’s “Census Enumeration and Group Conflict: A Global Analysis of the Consequences of Counting,” which was published in the January 2017 issue of World Politics. The corrections appear in boldface.

p. 44, line 17

… population. India’s Shia-Sunni demographics are remarkably similar to Pakistan; 10 to15 percent of Pakistan’s Muslim population is Shia, making it home to between 9 and 14 percent of the world’s total Shia population.107Yet the Pakistani state has enumerated Shias and Sunnis and witnessed severe Shia-Sunni violence, while The Indian state has continued the colonial policy at the all-India level of not enumerating Shias and Sunnis, and the cleavage has not been the site of systematic conflict or violence.108 The absence of large-scale Shia-Sunni violence in India is even more surprising when we note the distinct identities and fractious history of Shia-Sunni relations in that country through to the late nineteenth century.

p. 45, line 10

… lim. The groups not systematically and consistently enumerated in the all-India colonial census, even though they were far more locally salient at the time, were the sectarian divides within what came to be seen as the Hindu and Muslim religions, such as Shia and Sunni.115 After independence, the Indian state continued this practice of enumerating religious groups in terms of Hindu and Muslim and not enumerating Shias and Sunnis. In Pakistan the census enumerated religious categories in terms of Hindu, Muslim, Christian, and Ahmadiyas.116

The authors regret these errors.
