Kelash Kumar becomes first Hindu Lt Colonel In the Pakistan Army

[Faqirze]

At a point in time, among other cities, I also went to school in Karachi many decades ago, and we had Hindus, Parsis and Christians with us but nobody bothered with each other's religion. They were just "classmates" and that is it.

Times have changed now, Most Pakistanis in Pakistan cant tolerate the presence of a non Muslim these days. Pakistan desperately needs to secularize.

Hindus have flourished in Karachi and urban Sind

That's great but they are still outcasts in society and looked down upon by a majority of their countrymen as subhumans unworthy of even looking at.

Hindus in Pakistan, especially in Karachi have alot of competition in terms of being successful and educated, there’s a huge amount of them who go to the uk for unis and come back as doctors etc unlike a lot of Muslim Pakistanis who never come back.

Come on, can we stop with the lies.
We both know this is completely not true, that's if you really are a Pakistani.

I've never heard such rubbish in my life.
And, I've never heard Pakistanis speaking badly about non-Muslim communities of Pakistan, whilst in Pakistan or amongst Pakistanis living abroad.

The author is an ignorant bigot. Typically full of hate.
When will Indian's learn?

He kept goading the Pakistani Sindhi Hindu to tell him something bad, he refused to believe him because he had only good things to say, why the heck would he lie, especially when you are both outside the country.
Then admits he might be right, still unable to take him at face value. Bloody idiot.

Then he recalls a visit he made to Pakistani Punjab in 1997, an extremely good visit, where the village head of a Muslim majority village was a Hindu, surely that visit would have left a positive effect on him,
But he was still stuck in his hate.

Despite his positive experiences, just like a typical Indian, he goes on to declare that minorities are still persecuted in Pakistan like everywhere else.
On what fking basis?

He has had two first hand positive experiences, from two different parts of Pakistan, not by design but by chance.
One was a Hindu head of a Muslim majority village, the second a successful businessman.

Without any basis, he concludes by declaring that the minorities must still be persecuted in Pakistan, what a fking ignorant fool.
The day this Indian hate stops, is the day we will have peace in our region, they have to let go of their fantasies, it is totally sickening.

Couldn’t have said it better myself, it’s as if they choose by choice to be blinded by hate, one thing about Indians is, even if they are proven wrong, they’ll never accept they are wrong, they’ll pursue light in a never ending tunnel of darkness.

they’ll pursue light in a never ending tunnel of darkness.

wow, that's high praise, thanks !

People are surprised now to hear these stories because the media outside of Pakistan paints this image where Muslims are constantly daggers out for non-muslims. It is absolutely not like this. Hindus have flourished in Karachi and urban Sind. Yes, we have discrimination, but some of the very extreme stories that are given air are from the more remote areas and excesses usually are committed by a small community that has been told a narrative which is extremist (case in point is the lynching of the SL factory manager). Most Pakistanis in my view carry on along with each other not bothering however the media outside of Pakistan would have you believe otherwise.

Even the principal at PAF Model School Karachi, where I studied was a Christian Simon D'Lima and yes we had classmates that were Hindus, Parsis and Christians but they were just that : classmates.
And no school as top notch in caliber as that run by PAF !

Plenty of Christian’s and Hindus in Rawalpindi as well. My PhD. Mathematics professor in High school was christian, probably one of the highest payed (and most qualified) teachers in the city, his religion never seemed to have mattered to anyone throughout my years there.

Its a shame the days of a tolerant and secular Pakistan have long passed, Christian and Hindu communities are more hardworking and a bit more well off then Muslims in Pakistan. They just aren't valued enough by their fellow countrymen, hopefully things will change within the coming years.

What is their primary driver to come back?

What is their primary driver to come back?

A lot of them are already successful in Pakistan, businesses etc which is another reason to come back since family business get passed down and every Hindu and Christian I have met is I can guarantee you more patriotic than most average muslim Pakistani, they don’t care about India, they are proud to live in Pakistan and they come back to do something for the country.

If they can do the same for Muhajir/Urdu speaking. Recently meet ex-navy commission officer who took early retirement due to Taasub against Muhajir.

There are idiots of all stripes. Incompetence hiding in the victimhood narrative.

Navy is full of urdu speakers/muhajirs and baloch, then there are Punjabis then Sindhis and finally Pukhtoons/people from GB/AJK

What the hell are you on about? I went to DHA collage in Karachi, one of my closest friend was Dheraj Lal. We were almost always together and not once did i see anyone discriminate against him.

You come from a more privileged background, so its no surprise discrimination was non existent from your personal experience, but it doesn't represent the average. The filth that is taught in Pakistani textbooks creates the atmosphere of hatred against religious minorities and non Muslims in regular Pakistani society. The education system and curriculum needs a serious reform.

Personally I think discrimination is everywhere.

Even in Saudi Arabia, where I was living there was discrimination towards expatriates.

Discrimination is everywhere.

I never believe Western media when it comes to Muslim countries.

Usually they are never impartial.

A lot of them are already successful in Pakistan, businesses etc which is another reason to come back since family business get passed down and every Hindu and Christian I have met is I can guarantee you more patriotic than most average muslim Pakistani, they don’t care about India, they are proud to live in Pakistan and they come back to do something for the country.

This post was kind of stupid. All minorities have to prove their loyalty more than the mainstream community.

Minorities are just minorities.

In Political Science theory, minorities yield to the majority. The country belongs mostly to the majority.
