Pakistan approves Hindu Marriage Bill after decades of inaction

[Raja.Pakistani]

I don't know how much you know about Indian politics, most Pakistanis have a simplistic one sided view.

Sausages and laws in a democracy are made in mysterious ways. Ghar wapsi was a ploy by a political party to bring attention to what they saw as large scale conversions by evangelical Chrisitans in india. They wanted to debate an anti conversion law but being faced with obstacles they did some drama - they took out large scale advertisements claiming that they were converting to Hinduism for money. This lead to a hue and cry and of course they immediately turned around and said then let us pass a law to stop ALL conversions for money. Of course minorities were against that because that is what they had been doing for several years! Buddy this is how democracy works - drama l intrigue and layers of deviousness. There is NO anti conversion law in India right now this was in deference to MINORITIES who objected to any such law.

Now you have became defensive when topic is ghar wapisi and secular state bringing laws to dictate the dietary preferences of its citizens . I am personally against converting others for sake of marriage or for any other material gain. Its very selfish act because conversion should be for spiritual reasons when someone truly convinced with beliefs of a religion that they are going to adopt after studying and knowing them. India claim to be secular country run by hinduvata nationalist while we never said we are secular. Pakistan is Islamic republic so religion play its role in shaping certain laws as vast majority (97%) of Pakistani are Muslims. We are not hypocrite to say one thing and do another. If Hindus or christians were in significant numbers in Pakistan then state would have felt the need to make certain laws just to cater them

I am not being defensive, I am just explaining it as I see it. I don't agree with everything my government does. India is a democracy, imperfect no doubt, but still a democracy that protects my right to disagree openly and loudly.- no one is going to bother me if I turn around and call the entire government idiots. I am actually proud of that freedom and I have that privilege despite being a minority in this country.

I do see your point about being an Islamic country hence run by Islamic laws but it seems to me that these laws are very unfair to your minorities.

The good thing I see is that there are many Pakistanis who also feel that way. I have seen several people stand up to their own religious bigots and give them a good beating which in my book is a good thing.
