I would not call it a genocide even though I am forced to admit that the situation of minorities is not even barely optimal. Genocide is state sponsored, motivated and complete culling of minorities. That is not what is happening in Pakistan. Instead there is state sponsored discrimination and individual/religious organization based discrimination, not genocide. Discrimination against non muslims is everywhere and most against Hindus and Christians while the Parsis have it a little bit better. The problem exists because we fail to admit in the first place that we do not treat minorities well and much more could be done. Forced conversion bill, deletion of the blasphemy law and much more could be done. The discrimination can be noted that there is a fund for hajis going to Mecca but none for Hindus to go for Yatra. This initself is discriminatory. We should remember the examples of Umar and Ali in their treatment of minorities. Secularism would be the best solution for the country yet we are still stuck on other questions like how long anothers painchas are. The mullahs pettiness is also a feature in the lack of rights for non muslims.
The political parties are complicit in ensuring minorities do not gain equal rights. For example a lot of Sindhi Hindus (8.5% total of Sindhs) voted for PPPP but PPP gave them nothing. Infact Mian Mithoo of the Rinkle Kumari case was a PPPP politician. Pakistan Peoples Party of course continues to fail in every field and even make a joke of their liberal credentials, which we do not buy anymore.
