Danish Kaneria’s case should serve as a reminder to all those who question India’s treatment of its minorities. It must be mentioned that India has had innumerable players from the minority communities, unlike Pakistan. Of course, to even compare India with Pakistan is a shameful proposition, but let me indulge for the larger good. Right from Syed Kirmani to Mohammad Shami, from Azharuddin (who also became captain) to Yusuf and Irfan Pathan, from Zaheer Khan to Mohd Kaif, India has never discriminated against players on the basis of their religion. Harbhajan Singh, Navjot Singh Sidhu, Yuvraj Singh, Bishan Singh Bedi, etc, have been the Sikh cricketers of the Indian team. Never has anyone treated these players as untouchables, unlike in Pakistan, where the pompous players refuse to even break bread with a ‘kaafir’.
Not denying the fact that if he was ill treated this has to be condemned and it was a bad gesture, as humans beings should not be divided into caste and creed, higher caste and untouchables, achoot and maleech(BTW which country name comes first when you talk about achoot/untouchable and higher superior caste, none other than India).
-And Danish was selected by the PCB and the selection committee showed there is no official/state discrimination in Pakistan for Hindus, a few players personal liking/disliking cannot be construed and generalized as he was treated badly as he happens to be a Hindu.
- In India the hatred/suppression for Muslims is state sponsored, rules are formed in the parliament and approved by the majority Hindus to make Muslims stateless, second class, take the property and perks from them and call them ghuss petia and termites and expel them, no such things happens in Pakistan for Hindus, most of the Hindus in Pakistan(most are in Sindh) are rich traders and land owners, mill owners and are very rich.
-Nobody Lynch Hindus in Pakistan as some sort of a gory sport, not a single case of Hindu Lynching(check how many Muslims are lynched on the rumors of Beef eating) in India.
-No one here unlike India, garlands and welcome the Muslims lynchers as heros and worshiped and selected as law maker in the parliament.
-Not a single incident of mob lynching as Gujarat, Muzaffarnagar, Ayodhya dozens more. Cite any media report of 10 Hindus killed in Pakistan by a mob. In Gujarat India alone according to independent sources more than 2000 Muslims were killed by Hindu mobs and those killed includes pregnant women and young children(there wombs were ripped open) as per ind. media.
-And the biggest often repeated lie and falsehood of all that Hindu population in Pakistan has declined from 20-25% to less than 1%...this fake news is repeated by Indians more often than not.
According to 1951 census Hindu pop. in Pakistan( west and east Pakistan) was about 13% in total. West Pakistan has a Hindu population of 1.2% in 1951 and East Pakistan now B'Desh has a Hindu population of about 11-12% or close.
Naturally after the separation of east Pakistan which had the majority of Hindu population the population percentage of Hindus in west Pakistan, now Pakistan declined to 1.2 % of total population. And ironically Hindu population in now Pakistan has risen to 2.7% from 1.2%, so it is increasing actually and not decreasing, this busts the fake Indian media propaganda about Hindus in Pakistan.
