As Hamas apologists in India cry buckets of tears for Palaistians, there is stone-cold silence when it comes to the plight of minority Hindus in Pakistan.
In Sindh, Pakistan, a Hindu Kachhi community has been subjected to severe hardships and violence due to the actions of a Muslim landlord. The report from South Asian Digest reveals that the landlord’s conduct extended far beyond mere prejudice, involving the demolition of houses and even a temple, as well as the deliberate destruction of an entire Hindu village where families had resided for over four decades.
As per the information which is available, not only houses have been demolished rendering the Hindus in the area homeless, but the Muslim landlord also demolished the temple. After that, he set fire to the entire Hindu village where families had lived for over four decades.
The landlord’s deplorable actions did not end with arson and demolitions; there are also reports of him and his associates forcibly seizing motorbikes from the villagers, exacerbating the difficulties faced by this already marginalized community.

A video capturing the aftermath of the village’s devastation serves as a grim testament to the extent of suffering endured by this community. It underscores the increasing violence faced by religious and ethnic minorities in Pakistan, emphasizing the urgent need for safeguarding and justice for vulnerable communities.
Though Mohammad Ali Jinnah wanted a secular Pakistan, in reality, he saw the Hindus and Sikhs who could not leave during the partition as hostages to ensure Muslims in India were treated fairly. This is not an uncommon incident that has taken place in Pakistan and the plight of the Hindu Kachhi community, which has been grappling with constant persecution and discrimination in Pakistan since the partition.
This incident brings attention to the challenges faced by the Hindu Kachhi community, which has been enduring ongoing persecution and bias in Pakistan since the partition. This community is particularly vulnerable due to their often impoverished and landless status, leaving them at the mercy of influential individuals, like the Islamist landlord responsible for this recent tragedy.
