Talking
about minority; Hindus come first to our minds because of their larger number
in all of the minorities in existence in Pakistan. Patriotic Hindus who
preferred to live in Pakistan during partition instead of migrating to India
are now in great threat to practice their beliefs in our ‘land of pure’ and so
does minorities belonging to different beliefs.
Feudalism,
class system, religious discrimination, forced conversion and marriages and poor
law and order situation of Pakistan has taken their right to breathe. Around
7,000 to 10,000 Pakistani Hindus (around 1,600 families) had migrated to India
in the last two years; a report by English daily reveals this. And only in last
four months, around 450 families comprising of more than 3,000 members have
migrated to India following conversion cases of one after another Hindu girl in
Sindh, report further states.
Statistics
tells us that around 3.2 million Hindus are living in Sindh, seven million are
settled in Punjab, Around 30,000 to 50,000 are living in Balochistan, Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa and other northern areas of the country. A large majority of Hindu
population belongs to the working class, has poor agricultural background and
is not financially stable.
