In yet another chilling testament to the ongoing persecution of minorities in Pakistan, a young Hindu girl has been found strangled to death, her life cut short by the systemic violence that has become a horrifying norm in the country. This latest tragedy highlights the grim reality faced by Pakistan’s dwindling Hindu community, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to decades of Army-sponsored discrimination and unchecked atrocities.
Paki establishment is the reason for enabling this slow genocide. The Pakistan Army, notorious for its oppressive tactics, has long fostered an environment where religious minorities are treated as second-class citizens. Their complicity in the persecution of Hindus—alongside Christians, Sikhs, and other minorities—reflects the institutionalized bigotry entrenched in the country’s power structures.
Forced conversions, abductions, sexual violence, and murders have become disturbingly common for Hindu girls and women in Pakistan. Time and again, young Hindu girls are abducted, raped, and forcibly converted to Islam, often with the complicity of local authorities who either turn a blind eye or actively aid the perpetrators. This most recent murder is part of a sinister pattern aimed at erasing the Hindu community from Pakistan’s social fabric.
The Pakistani establishment weaponizes blasphemy laws to silence dissent and maintain a stranglehold over its people. Hindus, along with other religious minorities, live in constant fear, knowing that accusations of blasphemy can lead to mob violence or Army-sanctioned punishments.
The international community’s silence on this “drip-drip genocide” is deafening. How many more lives must be lost before the world pays attention? If the current trajectory continues, the Hindu community in Pakistan—already reduced to less than two percent of the population—faces complete disappearance.
