A Hindu doctor, Dr. Daulat Ram, was brutally assaulted in Ghorabari area of Thatta district, Sindh, as per a video posted shared by a Pakistani rights activist.
While the reason behind the assault is not clear, the video shows a man in blue pyjama-kurta slapping and hitting the doctor who is pleading to be let go. At one point the doctor pleads “Allah kasam (I swear on Allah)”, yet his Muslim assailant keeps hitting him.
Such assaults and attacks on Hindu doctors and other professionals are quite common, as we can see from two other incidents shared by activist Narain Das Bheel in the recent past –
In 2016, Dr. Pritam Das Lakhwani was murdered while seeing patients in his clinic named ‘BISMILLAH CLINIC’ located in Karachi, Sindh. You can read this heart-rending piece written by his daughter – the family migrated to Bharat a few years later after Dr. Lakhwani’s murder and settled in Gujarat.
In 2011, 3 Pakistani Hindu doctors – Ashok Kumar, Naresh Kumar and Ajeet Kumar – were gunned down in Chak town, Sindh province on Eid-ul-Adha. They were murdered because one of them had demanded a fee for treating an influential local Muslim.
Pakistan is a brutal country and Pakistani Muslims are particularly brutal to Pak minorities– the Hindus, Sikhs, Christians. The Hindus especially bear the brunt of Islamic wrath.
The root is deeper. In Islamic countries, children are taught that Islam is world’s most ideal religion and all other religions are inferior to it. Had they been taught that all religions are the same, all lead to the path of self-devotion to Almighty who is Prophet Mohammed to Muslims, God to the Hindus and Lord to the Christians and as such people of all religions have the right to survive and pray to their own Almighty and that there should be peaceful co-existence between people of all religions, then such a wild degree of hate would not be born and Muslims would thrive and let others to thrive.
