For many years, I was convinced that Sindh is the most liberal and secular province. I thought that minorities were more secure here because of the history deeply rooted mysticism. But that was until I became familar with teenager Rinkle Kumari’s tragic tale. One, amongt many, whose story needed to be told.

While most of us know Maya Khan and Veena Malik how many of us know Rinkle Kumari of District Ghotki, Sindh? She was picked up from her home and then forced to convert to Islam just a few days ago? How many of us are even aware of these incidents taking place?

Nand Lal, the father of the teenager, who is a teacher at the Government Primary School Yarlund, Ghotki, along with his family members has taken shelter at Gurdwara, Lahore as he received threats from the local influential people.

While according to some reports Rinkle coverted to Islam of her own free will (now Faryal) Rinkle’s family says, that a local leader is supporting the kidnappers and had pressurized the local magistrate to conclude with a decision in their favour, ignoring the plea in the written testimony of the kidnapped girl.

For many, it may be good news as a Hindu girl has ‘embraced’ Islam and has become an addition to the Ummah. Some may also believe that by getting her convert to Islam, one of them might get a berth booked in the Heaven as well, as it is generally perceived or believed.

Rinkle is not the only girl who has been a victim of such inhumane and unlawful treatment. There are 20 to 25 cases every month and around 300 cases per year. These young Hindu girls are abducted by influential people and converted to Islam against their will. Most of them take shelter in madrassas to avoid the backlash from society. In fact this is one of the main reasons that Hindus, particularly from upper Sindh, are migrating to India in bulk every year is because they are unable to bear the brunt and subsequent embarrassment in the society when their abducted daughters return as converts to Islam.

Except a certain section of media, these issues are hardly highlighted in mainstream media, the reason being the right-wing news policy of most of the media houses and growing commercialization.

Supreme Court Chief Justice, Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry (who took suo moto notice on the confiscation of two bottles of alcohol from actress Atiqa Odho) seems to have no time to have take suo moto notice or even notice of the forcible conversion of young Hindu girls. The honorable chief justice often quotes in hearings, that corruption cases have brought a bad name to the country, but did the CJ even notice that forcible conversion and persecution of minorities also contribute to the country declining image.

Moreover, over two dozen legislators belonging to religious minority have not been able to make their voices heard regarding a remedy for the grievances of their community. The reason for their voices have reached deaf ears and continue to be ineffective can be found in a quote by a Hindu parliamentarian who stated, “We are selected members, not elected.”

Though, I am an ardent supporter of democracy and democratic values, minorities in Pakistan were more secure during dictator, Pervez Mushrraf’s term, than in this government in which Punjab Governor, Salman Taseer and Federal Minister for minorities, Shahbaz Bhatti, were killed.

In recent incidents like Rinkle Kumari and the case of three Hindus being murdered in broad daylight in Chak, Shikarpur, a few months back, the Sindhi nationalists have supported the Hindu community. In comparison, the members of the ruling PPP and other parties, only make hollow speeches. Those who have read the Constitution refer to Article 20, 25 and 39 in an effort to purport to their fellow parliamentarians that the minorities were enjoying equal rights, as stated in the constitution. But an issue that concerns the minority community most is that of forcible conversion of their youth and abduction for which there is no law.

So if there is no law addressing this issue is it okay for the issue to be overlooked?

Is there anybody drafting a law that will guarantee protection and freedom of religious belief?

The answer, unfortunately, is simply a ‘no’.

I am a Hindu writer and cannot help but wonder if my words have any weight at all and if so then, would they be effective enough to initiate any substantial change? I hope so, but I believe not. There is a dire need to speak up by the so-called liberal and secular elite. Forget about Maya, Meera and Veena. Wake up and hear the unheard calls for help. Someone please speak up about Rinkle Kumari.

She is the one in need of attention.

Rinkle Kumari was Hindu last month

sad plight of the minorities.

^^^ When will these @$$ }{0|_3s Understand that You cant force any one for embracing’ Islam.In Islam everything depends on the Niyaat of the Person.

 

[illusion8]

^^^ whatever ...... don't forget they are your people and in the end of the day it actually doesn't matter to us. It would be better if they kill their girl child on birth rather than such humiliation.

NO offence to hindus here, but this article is written by a hindu and reeks of propaganda. It is alleged by the girls hindu parents
that she was forcefully converted but the other side of the story is that she embraced islam willingly which is very common these days. Normally the hindu family members spread such propaganda about "forceful" conversion and often resort to harassment of
the converted family member, be it their son or daughter. PAK authorities should make sure that this girl is not harassed by her
parents. And on top of that Express tribune is a western boot licking news paper affiliated with the zionist herald tribune, and so
this propaganda should not be taken seriously.

^^^
This is a classic propaganda by muslims...

U forcefully convert a girl and then claim that she wanted to convert...The world community should stand up against such activities in Pakistan and Bangladesh..or in few years genocide of Hindus in these two countries will be complete..

 

[BelligerentPacifist]

Isn't it great!

Let's go a step further and overhaul Hindu theology.

 

[Jade]

Whatever, by turning a blind eye towards the forceful conversion of Hindus, violence against Shias, Ahamedis and other minorities, the Pakistan government is doing a blunder by loosing Pakistan's diversity and in turn becoming a intolerant state.

Bro you can't be converted forcefully into ISLAM. Its just impossible and a muslim can't go to heavenby forcefully converting someone as claimed by the article. Its all BS propaganda. A convert must
believe in Allah(swt) and his last messenger Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) by the heart. What in
it for muslims to forcefully convert someone knowing that it won't work and no muslim with an
iota of basic islamic understanding do such retarded act.

Thread number 340 about "forced conversion" in the last week.
Don't you people have jobs or family life or something?
The only people who believe these fairy tales are Bigoted and hateful Hindus who still cannot accept the fact that Pakistan exists.

Even UK, the worlds supper power of the time accepted USA existed shortly after they become independent. Why can't India, a country that cant even compare to UK of today, accept it?

The population percentage of Hindus in Pakistan in 1947 was perhaps as high as 15-20%. Why are they constitute only about 1.6 % now. Don't give the $hit saying that Islam is a greater religion than Hinduism hence all have voluntarily converted.

^^^^ you can't give 1947 data. Most of the hindus from PAK & BD migrated to india and still do. Its a natural order since
religious bonds transcends man made boundary. Its 2 nation theory. Hindus naturally fell a bond with india and fell more safe there,
so they migrate. Its simple logic. I had many hindu teachers in school and now have professors in university and almost all
of them have some sort of investment in INDIA. I don't blame them for that since its human nature and yes they may even be passionately patriotic about BD but that doesn't mean that they have to give up their religious bond.

OKeven if Itake your stance that Hindus migrated to India after partition and that is why their population has decreased can you explain how the population of Muslims has risen in India instead of declining?
