Atrocities on Hindus, Sikhs in Pakistan
ByKesh
Intimidating anonymous letters have been sent to Hindu temples around the country, warning them that “idolatry is worse than carnage”.
“Islam teaches that God does not share His divine attributes with anyone”, the letters continue, among several passages quoted from the Quran, Islam’s holy book.
The letters began arriving last week, and police were immediately contacted, Multicultural New Zealand national office head of operations Gurtej Singh said.
Years of radicalization of the society, an educational curriculum that breeds hatred for minorities, and a judicial system that is unwilling to protect them and often even condones the behavior of aggressors are all part of the problems.
The Independent’s Deputy Editor of Opinions, Sunny Hundal, decided to take it down because he claimed she was getting threats. He did not explain what threats, and who those threats were from. He claimed she was being called anti-Hindu despite being Hindu herself.
Hindus in Pakistan are a small minority, mostly in rural Sindh, facing socioeconomic challenges like landlessness and low-wage labor, as well as state-sponsored discrimination and religious extremism.
They face forced conversions, denial of supplies, attacks on properties, false blasphemy accusations, and abduction of women.
India’s Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 (CAA) offers expedited citizenship to persecuted minorities from Pakistan and other neighboring countries. However, the act has been maligned as discriminatory by anti-India forces.
As India grows as a global power, competitors seek to tear it down. China occupies a portion of Ladakh roughly the size of Kerala and covets Arunachal Pradesh. Pakistan continues to sponsor terrorism aimed at Kashmir but, as Kashmir experiences an economic and political renaissance because of the revocation of Article 370, Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency increasingly sets its sights on destabilizing Punjab.
Find out why the Lawmakers, Human Rights orgs, USCRIF, Academia, including Harvard Business School’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiative, must take the initiative to lead in ending the miss-association of sacred Hindu symbols.
