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.
