Persecution against Sindhi Hindus


By Sarwech Saryo
Persecution against Sindhi Hindus has been carrying on in Sindh speedy and expeditiously for many years. Government-supported criminal, tyrant, brutal and immoral feudal lords and their unofficially subordinate police is responsible for this.
Kidnapping Hindus for getting large amount of money, abducting youth Hindu girls for their sexual lust and robbing from houses and shops of Hindus is common in all those areas, where they exist in Sindh.
On the eve of Eid-ul- Uzha , three Hindu doctors Ajeet, Naresh and Ashok Kumar were gunned down in Chak town, near Shikarpur district and fourth-one Satia Lal injured.
This incident reportedly happened due to continuation of conflict with Hindus in area and local PPP leader and influential feudal Babal Khan Bhayo’s community. Consequently, few days ago three Hindu boys have reportedly been arrested after allegedly bringing a girl of Bhayo caste to the area. A case of sexual assault was charged against them. It reported in different newspapers at that time that alleged girl was only of seven years and she was caught while going to a place of allegedly Hindu youth. Therefore, charge of sexual assault against Hindu youths is completely unjustified and baseless.
Local PPP leader and criminal feudal Babal Khan Bhayo was extorting money from them, making threats of what could happen if they were not paid amount of 1.5 million.
Mainstream media have reported about these cold-blooded murders that culprits were “unidentified”. I don’t know why our media hide the killers and their supporters?
The truth is that all people on the spot know the killers with their names and main killer from them was Ghulam Mohammad, a member of state-banned religious terrorist organization.
A leading Sindhi newspaper Awami Awaz reports that Qazi Ghulam Mohammad is notorious in area as a sexual patient. Many girls of local communities have become victims of his sexual assault and a lower Muslim caste people of a Dayo Community have left city and their properties due to his brutalities.
Ironically, FIR has been lodged against “unidentified men”, though police know all about the killers. Up to writing these lines, real killers of this tragedy are free and the people who are not connected with this incident are behind the bars. It is all happening consciously on the basis of hidden agreement among trajectory of government, police and feudal lords.
Undoubtedly, sardar Babal Khan Bhayo is mastermind of these killings and if he would not be jailed and presented before law, there would not be appearing any clue of justice with souls of deceased people.
Although Sindhi intelligentsia and civil society is on roads against this incident, incumbent rulers have not paid heed to this matter except issuance of statements.
This approach of our rulers reminds us that in the pure-land of Pakistan all doors of justice are closed for those people who are not “pure”.
We condemn this incident and founders of all sorts of these incidents, i.e., feudal lords and chieftains of tribes and castes in Sindh. State-sponsored and government-supported feudal lords are strongest elements of all evils in rural Sindh and these handful criminal feudal lords have been deteriorating centuries-old humanitarian, tolerated and peace-loving culture of the soil of Sindh, at last but not least, we need to find a collective way of ending hatred and exploitation and mindset that nurture these traits; we need to raise voice against all the incidents of murder, rape, loot and arson, intolerant to minorities and need to support their right to life. We appeal human rights activists, humanitarian, democratic, peace-loving people and believers of religious tolerance and harmony around the world to come forward and raise a collective voice against the feudal class and all other dirty elements which are a bad sign for mankind.
