What's new

Idols of Hindu temple desecrated in Sindh’s Gharo

the law is for everybody so yes Pakistani Hindus can file a case under the same law.
This is something new for me, can Hindus in Pakistan file case under blasphemy law if someone insults Hindu God?
If yes then please tell me if such cases are treated seriously or not by the Pakistani govt.

Pakistan Blasphemy Laws (i.e. 295-B and 295-C) were introduced by General Zia (in 1982/86). They deal with desecration of the Holy Qur'an (life imprisonment for offenders) and using of derogatory remarks in respect of the Holy Prophet (mandatory death penalty for offenders) only, and do not apply to sacred texts/religious personalities of other religions.

Desecration of religious places of Non Muslims (or Muslims) however is a punishable offense under Section 295 (A) of Pakistan Penal Code. This law (enacted in 1927), unlike 295-B and 295-C, does not stipulate life imprisonment or capital punishment for the offenders.
Ohhhh, I got my answer.
Thanks.

In Pakistan, insulting any religion (or the religious beliefs of any class, including Hindus) is a crime punishable by up to 10 years in jail, in addition to fine (under 295-A, PPC).




295-A. Deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting Its religion or religious beliefs:

Whoever, with deliberate and malicious intention of outraging the 'religious feelings of any class of the citizens of Pakistan, by words, either spoken or written, or by visible representations insults the religion or the religious beliefs of that class, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to ten years, or with fine, or with both.

They were source of income for mughals we paid taxes as non muslims google jaziya tax
The Muslims have to pay taxes (which is 2.5 percent of their annual income) under the name of "Zakah" to the "Muslim Financial Institute" or the "House of the Muslim Money" which all goes to provide welfare to the poor and the needy citizens; from both Muslims and non-Muslims. The poor and the needy (such as the Orphans, Widows and the disabled) from the Muslims are exempt from paying taxes.

The non-Muslims have to pay a varrying amount under the name of "Jizyah", depending on their situation, which is taxes that don't go to help poor and needy Muslims, but instead, it goes to the government to (1) Provide protection for them since they are a minority; (2) Provide means for them to practice their religions freely by building Temples or Churches for them.

As I mentioned above for the non-Muslims, there are exemptions for the poor, for females and children (according to Abu Hanifah), for slaves, and for monks and hermits.
 
What you think won't make it happen. No compulsion in Faith and minority rights will be complied.

@Horus isnt much of a sarcastic fella. He can be hardcore, just gotta fluff him up a bit. Which I don't do.
I came across similar post from him for past few years, this is his standard response on such issue. Anyway that was my opinion of his post I might be wrong.
 
I think its time the remaining Hindus are also converted to Islam.

There are people from those sectors but they don't have to expose their religious beliefs because under this forum everyone from Pakistan is a Pakistani.
