Today, I have completed documenting 100 reported cases of heart-wrenching atrocities against Sindhi Hindu women in Pakistan in the dataset published here, and you see some disturbing patterns emerge, read the article to know more.
1. The higher the % Hindu population, the more rampant the conversion activity. In fact top-6 districts that account for 2 in every 3 cases are also home to a majority of entire Pakistan’s entire Hindu population.
2. Most common template – a girl usually a minor, is abducted from home/school, raped, tortured, converted and then married off to the abductor – all on the same day.
3. This is an organized racket with govt agencies and Islamic bodies working very smoothly in tandem – conversion and marriage certificates are produced, stamped and approved on the same day. If a girl is minor, fake certificates from govt. doctors are promptly secured. Case in point: Chanda Maharaj, who wasn’t allowed to go back to her parents, as fake docs made her an adult.
4. What’s surprising is that barring a few cases, in almost all cases, the girl (often falsely declared a major) is handed to the abductor by the judiciary – even in presence of contradictory evidence.
5. The Pakistani law doesn’t even protect Hindu girls either – the law to protect child marriage doesn’t apply to Hindu girls or boys.
6. In many cases, a religious leader like Mian Mithoo, Mian Javed Ahmed Qadri is directly involved and there is solid evidence that government systems even at higher levels are complicit in the conversion gang. Like @UnSubtleDesi says, we are documenting our own end.
7. Almost all cases exclusively relate to SC Hindus. Pakistan census counts SC pop separately from Hindu pop – perhaps to continuously underestimate / hide the steady erosure of Hindu population in Pakistan.
These are just the of cases against women reported and documented within the past few months. I’m still documenting many more. Female suicides haven’t even been counted! Men including young kids face an equally worse fate. They too are raped and then hung to strangle and die like Loji Kolhi or thrown in fields like this 12 years old boy Naresh.
As much as we need to uncover the vibrant past of Sindh in Mohenjodaro, the present of Sindh is a story that needs to be uncovered, documented and told. Hindus owe their future generations this much.
Sindhi Indians need a wake up call as well – unfortunately, many woke Sindhis (like some music directors) opposed the CAA which aims to protect those living a present similar their own ancestors’ past.
I am nowhere close to done though. A big thanks to @NarainDasBheel8 ji and @VeengasJ ji for their tireless efforts in reporting and documenting these cases from Sindh. Check out @chingariproject to get involved and @HindukushLive for a similar dataset.
