Introduction: A Life Cut Short by Hate
Sneha, a young Hindu MBBS student at Khairpur Medical College in Sindh, was found dead after enduring relentless harassment from her Muslim colleagues. Her tragic fate is not an isolated incident but a chilling example of the systemic persecution faced by Hindu students and professionals in Pakistan. While Pakistan loudly condemns “Islamophobia” on the global stage, it turns a blind eye to the rampant Hinduphobia within its own borders—a state-sponsored culture of intolerance that targets non-Muslims with impunity.
Sneha’s death is not just a personal tragedy- it is a symptom of a deeper, institutionalized bigotry that has turned Pakistan into a living nightmare for religious minorities.
The Case of Sneha: A Pattern of Persecution
Sneha, a bright and ambitious medical student, dreamed of serving her community. Instead, she became another victim of Pakistan’s toxic mix of radicalism and impunity. According to reports, she faced:
- Religious slurs and bullying from classmates and faculty.
- Social ostracization for being Hindu.
- Psychological torment that pushed her to the brink.
Her death is not an exception but part of a disturbing trend:
- Hindu students in Pakistani universities face discrimination, harassment, and even violence.
- Complaints are ignored by authorities, emboldening perpetrators.
- Minorities are forced to endure abuse in silence, knowing justice will never come.
Why did Sneha have to die for Pakistan to take notice?
Pakistan’s Hypocrisy: Condemning Islamophobia While Ignoring Hinduphobia
Pakistan’s government and media quickly denounce Islamophobia in the West, organizing protests, diplomatic campaigns, and social media storms. Yet, when it comes to Hinduphobia, Christian persecution, or attacks on other minorities, the same voices fall silent.
This double standard exposes a harsh truth:
- Minority rights in Pakistan are a facade.
- Radicalism is not just tolerated—it is encouraged by state institutions.
- The legal system fails minorities, allowing oppressors to act with impunity.
If Pakistan truly cared about religious freedom, why are its Hindu citizens treated as second-class citizens?
State-Sponsored Radicalism: The Root of the Problem
Pakistan’s education system, media, and political rhetoric routinely demonize non-Muslims, portraying them as:
- “Enemies of Islam.”
- “Foreign agents.”
- “Inferior” citizens.
This toxic narrative fuels everyday bigotry and violence against minorities, including:
- Forced conversions of Hindu and Christian girls.
- Attacks on temples and gurudwaras.
- Economic and social marginalization of non-Muslims.
When the state itself promotes intolerance, how can minorities ever feel safe?
The Plight of Hindu Students in Pakistan
Hindu students like Sneha face a hostile environment in Pakistani educational institutions:
- Discrimination in admissions (quotas are often ignored).
- Religious bullying from peers and teachers.
- Pressure to convert to Islam to “fit in.”
- No recourse for justice when they speak out.
Universities—supposed to be bastions of knowledge and tolerance—have become battlegrounds for bigotry.
The International Community’s Silence
While human rights organizations document these abuses, global outrage remains muted. The world condemns Islamophobia—as it should—but ignores the suffering of Hindus, Christians, and other minorities in Pakistan.
Where are the protests for Sneha? Where are the hashtags demanding justice? Why does the world stay silent when Pakistan’s minorities are under attack?
A Call for Justice and Systemic Change
Sneha’s death must not be in vain. The international community must:
- Demand an independent investigation into her death and the harassment she endured.
- Pressure Pakistan to reform its education system to end radicalization.
- Hold Pakistani authorities accountable for failing to protect minorities.
- Support Hindu and other minority communities in Pakistan through legal aid, scholarships, and safe spaces.
Pakistan’s minorities cannot wait for change- they need it NOW.
Conclusion: Until Pakistan Changes, the Oppression Will Continue
Sneha’s story is a painful reminder of what happens when hatred is institutionalized and justice is denied. Pakistan’s systemic oppression of Hindus and other minorities will persist unless the world forces it to change.
Enough is enough. The blood of innocents like Sneha stains Pakistan’s hands. It’s time for the world to speak up.
