Hindus migrating... By Sunil
31 August, 2012
What is making Hindu families flee from here? Why is the media reporting Hindu persecution? The reasons are obvious. Pakistan's minorities are feeling insecure about their wealth, respect and life. Many Pakistani Hindus have been well educated, and they were economically sound in the country even before partition; they have never been a part of any bigotry, hatred or roguery. Many Hindus who migrated to India after partition have become a part of the elite group of that country and are serving in business, politics, government and Bollywood famously. Why could they not serve their own country Pakistan and make it more prosperous, getting a sense of respect and equality in return? The Constitution of Pakistan and the majority of the population do not treat the minorities equally. Is it difficult to postulate Hindu persecution when you see being a minority they are frequently robbed, kidnapped, threatened and converted forcibly? Hindus have lived here since times immemorial; they would never want to leave their homeland. The only thing is they need a sense of security so that they can live here with peace and contribute to the prosperity of Pakistan. DR SUNIL CHOHAN
