A minor Hindu girl in Pakistan, who works as a maid, has narrated the distressing tale of how her employer persistently pressured her to convert to Islam by reciting the Kalma. This incident is part of a troubling pattern in the region.
The girl’s aunt, Sunita, 25, also a domestic worker, was forcibly converted to Islam and married off. According to reports, Sunita managed to contact her family, revealing she was taken against her will and coerced into converting.
Sunita, who was kidnapped from Zubaida Heights Apartments where she worked, was forced to convert to Islam the next day in Hyderabad. She contacted her elder sister from Hyderabad’s Chandni Chowk, explaining that an unknown Muslim woman, with the help of several men, had abducted her at gunpoint under the pretense of securing a job. They then transported her to Hyderabad and forced her to recite the Kalma loudly.

Further details from Sunita’s niece indicate that a Muslim woman on the sixth floor of Zubeida Heights, where Sunita worked, had persistently pressured her to recite the Kalma and planned to take her to Karachi without informing her parents.
Hindus in Pakistan have reduced to about 1% of the total population. Every single day, reports of abductions, forced conversions and forced marriages of young (mostly minor) Hindu girls keep surfacing from Pakistan. And yet, no action is taken by international community about the Hindu minorities in Pakistan.
