The empowerment of terror in Pakistan has not happened overnight. This is the logical culmination of the politics and policies pursued by
Pakistan for years now.
Terrorism in Pakistan has its roots in the culture of hate and the ethos of inequality on the ground of religious faith, leading to their being deeply ingrained in the Pakistani psyche and mindset.
One factor that has played a crucial role in creating this culture of hate is the educational policy of the government of Pakistan pursued since 1977. The officially prescribed textbooks, especially for school students, are full of references that promote hate against India in general, and Hindus in particular.
A cursory glance at Pakistani school textbooks - especially the compulsory subjects like Pakistan studies and social studies - gives an idea of how history has been distorted and a garbled version prescribed to build this mindset and attitude.
The objective of Pakistan's education policy has been defined thus in the preface to a Class 6 book: "Social studies have been given special importance in educational policy so that Pakistan's basic ideology assumes the shape of a way of life, its practical enforcement is assured, the concept of social uniformity adopts a practical form and the whole personality of the individual is developed." This statement leaves no doubt that "social uniformity", not national unity, is a part of Pakistan's basic ideology.
The Class 5 book has this original discovery about Hindu help to bring British rule to India: "The British had the objective to take over India and to achieve this, they made Hindus join them and Hindus were very glad to side with the British. After capturing the subcontinent, the British began on the one hand the loot of all things produced in this area, and on the other, in conjunction with Hindus, to greatly suppress the Muslims."
The Std VIII book says, "Their (Muslim saints) teachings dispelled many superstitions of the Hindus and reformed their bad practices. Thereby Hindu religion of the olden times came to an end."
On Indo-Pak wars, the books give detailed descriptions and openly eulogize ‘jihad' and ‘shahadat' and urge students to become ‘mujahids' and martyrs and leave no room for future friendship and cordial relations with India.
According to a Class 5 book, "In 1965, the Pakistani army conquered several areas of India, and when India was on the point of being defeated, she requested the United Nations to arrange a ceasefire. After 1965, India, with the help of Hindus living in East Pakistan, instigated the people living there against the people of West Pakistan, and finally invaded East Pakistan in December 1971. The conspiracy resulted in the separation of East Pakistan from us. All of us should receive military training and be prepared to fight the enemy."
The book prescribed for higher secondary students makes no mention of the uprising in East Pakistan in 1971 or the surrender by more than 90,000 Pakistani soldiers. Instead, it claims, "In the 1971 India-Pakistan war, the Pakistan armed forces created new records of bravery and the Indian forces were defeated everywhere."
The students of Class 3 are taught that "Muhammad Ali (Jinnah) felt that Hindus wanted to make Muslims their slaves and since he hated slavery, he left the Congress". At another place it says, "The Congress was actually a party of Hindus. Muslims felt that after getting freedom, Hindus would make them their slaves."
And this great historic discovery is taught to Std V students, "Previously, India was part of Pakistan."
Commenting on this literature that spreads hate, leading Pakistani educationist Tariq Rahman wrote, "It is a fact that the textbooks cannot mention Hindus without calling them cunning, scheming, deceptive or something equally insulting. Students are taught and made to believe that Pakistan needs strong and aggressive policies against India or else Pakistan will be annihilated by it."

Miss Pakistan's embarrassing gaffe – says Mumbai attacks should be 'condoned'
In an utterly embarrassing gaffe, Miss Pakistan Natasha Paracha used the word ‘condone’ instead of ‘condemn’ to express her reaction to the recent Mumbai terror attacks.
The reining beauty queen, who is a graduate from Berkley, used the word ‘condone’ not once but twice in an interview to CNN earlier this week.
"The image of Pakistan has been threatened with these recent attacks and I feel that now as Pakistanis we have to stand up and condone what has happened in the country of India and through these Mumbai attacks," Natasha told CNN’s Anna Coren.
Natasha’s use of word ‘condone’ cannot be deemed as a slip of tongue because she used it again, and very clearly at that, while answering the very next question.
"As an ambassador to my country Pakistan I feel that we as Pakistanis need to work together and Indians as well need to work and work on this friendship that we have and condone these attacks, thoroughly.”
Incidentally, it is Pakistani bloggers who are now poking fun at Miss Natasha for the shocking gaffe.
One blogger Kamil Yousuf, who has posted an entry titled "Dear Miss Pakistan World, the word is 'condemn', not 'condone'", goes on to express his utter shock at Natasha’s remarks.
"I was actually quite surprised on both counts, if you were going to appear on CNN wearing a Miss Pakistan sash, in order to give a statement on behalf of your country in the midst of a political crisis, you would take the time to learn the difference between two fairly critical antonyms. You went to Berkeley, for God's sake," he wrote.
May be it was a Freudian slip on Natasha’s part.

Teen kidnapped, raped by Muslim Guy in medical store for 2 weeks
THANE: Snakes, revolvers and a sword were among the objects with which Faizal Ansari (26) used to threaten a 16-year-old girl and keep her
confined inside a medical store for two weeks. He also raped her repeatedly after she refused to heed his marriage proposals.
The girl was rescued late Thursday night. Ansari, a pathologist with a DMLT certificate, was booked for kidnapping, rape and extortion as well as under the Arms Act. He was also charged under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.
Ansari had been proposing to the girl, a Std IX student, for some time, but in vain.
"We have seized a country-made pistol, a revolver and six rounds of bullets, a human skull, a laptop, a sword and a knife found inside Kaneri Medical Store in Bhiwandi. He kept the minor confined there and repeatedly raped her by threatening her with the weapons, human skulls and snakes,'' DCP (Bhiwandi Zone II) Ankush Shinde said. A mask was also recovered.
The girl was returning home from school around 12.30 pm on December 8 when Ansari and three accomplices forcibly took her to Aurangabad in a Santro. "When my sister didn't return home even after midnight, we lodged a case of kidnap with the Bhoiwada police in Bhiwandi. We were that sure Ansari had kidnapped my sister,'' the girl's brother told TOI.
The suspicion was confirmed when Ansari called from his mobile and said the girl wanted to speak to her family members. "My sister, who was scared, said Ansari threatened to kill her if she did not cooperate with him,'' the brother said.
The family then approached Ansari's mother, who assured that the girl would return home safe. "Three days later, Ansari returned from Aurangabad and kept the girl in the storeroom of his medical store,'' said senior inspector Ravindra Wadekar.
A medical report confirmed that the minor had been raped. "The girl said she was tied to a chair and Ansari would scare her with snakes and weapons and then rape her,'' Wadekar added.
Shinde said, "We will consult a psychiatrist to check Ansari's mental health.'' Ansari was arrested a month-and-a-half ago for allegedly stealing a vehicle.

Hindus should learn from history ............CHRISTIAN - MUSLIMS
eorge Sant-ayana, the American philosopher, expressed a universal fact when he wrote, “Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
Since Hindus and Bharat have forgotten their history, they are facing frequent Pak-Bangla terrorist attacks and daily demographic invasion.
Recent bomb blasts in Jaipur in May 2008 killing over 70 persons are the latest of such attacks and continuing national shame.
And 2007 had seen similar deaths and destruction in attacks in Varanasi, Lucknow, Hyderabad and Malegaon. In 2006, terrorists killed over 200 innocents in local trains in Mumbai besides massacring 32 Hindus in Doda.
In 2005, terrorists attacked Ayodhya, New Delhi and Bangalore. 2003 marked bomb blasts in Mumbai. 2002 witnessed attacks on Raghunath and Akshardham temples.
In 2001, Indian Parliament was attacked.
Earlier during 1980s and 1990s, terrorists killed thousands of Hindus in Kashmir and drove out several lakhs of Hindus from Kashmir. And now Kashmir is a Hindu-less region.
After making Kashmir a Hindu-less region, Hindus are being killed selectively even in Jammu region to evict Hindus from there.
The list is endless.
These attacks are parts of a long line of attacks Bharatvarsh has suffered since Muhammad bin Qasim’s Arab army’s attack in 711; and have continued since history repeats itself for those who forget its lessons.
Why to forget history?
Though Will Durant, the eminent American historian, calls Muslim rule in India as “the bloodiest story in history”, most of the Hindus have forgotten this history.
Let us briefly recapitulate a few events.
Bharatvarsha including the present day India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Afghanistan was Hindu land with a zero Muslim population till Muhammad bin Qasim’s Arab army attacked Sindh in 711.
Since Hindus never learnt any lesson from history, they faced repeated Muslim invasions for over a thousand years; and lost Afghanistan in 987 and Pakistan in 1947. And though Hindus fought bravely to defend their dharma and motherland, they lost millions of lives and faced plunder and destruction of thousands of their temples during these attacks over the centuries. Besides, during long period of Muslim rule, Hindus had to pay jaziya, the tax levied on non-Muslims.
After overthrow of Muslim rule, the British took over India from 1857 to 1947. Muslim League was formed in 1906; and demanded Pakistan for Muslims in 1940.
This is what Muhammad Ali Jinnah said in Lahore on March 23, 1940 while demanding Pakistan, a separate country for Muslims, comprising of Muslim majority areas in India:
“Hindus and Muslims belong to two different religions, philosophies, social customs, and literatures. ….. and to two different civilisations. Hindus and Muslims derive their inspiration from different sources of history. They have different epics, different heroes and different episodes. Very often the hero of one is a foe of the other, and likewise their victories and defeats overlap. To yoke together two such nations under a single state, one as a numerical minority and the other as a majority, must lead to growing discontent, and the final destruction of any fabric that may be so built up for the government of such a state.”
In 1945-46 elections, Muslims voted for creation of Pakistan.
Muslim League kept up the pressure, and in 1947 got a third of Bharat’s land as Pakistan. In 1971, East Pakistan became Bangladesh while West Pakistan was renamed Pakistan.
In Pakistan and Bangladesh which are declared as Islamic nations, most of the Hindus and Sikhs have been either driven out or killed or converted. However, most of Indian Muslims who had demanded Pakistan for Muslims and exchange of population on creation of Pakistan stayed back in India; and did not go to Pakistan. Rather, the present percentage of Muslim population in India is much higher than that in 1947.
Real power in Pakistan lies with its army which is anti-Hindu and anti-Bharat, and which in collaboration with Bangladesh wants to dismember India. To demolish Bharat and to plant more Pakistans and Bangladeshs on Bharat’s soil, Pak-Bangla combine has sent countless terrorists and crores of its nationals into India.
Infiltrators are also bringing with them high quality counterfeit Indian currency which is also being used to destroy Bharat.
Denial and inaction
Self-deception is self defeating.
Though Pak-Bangla combine is grabbing Bharat bit by bit through terrorism and infiltration of its nationals into India, Indian government responds by denial, negation and inaction.
By its judgement dated July 12, 2005, the Supreme Court struck down the I.M. (DT) Act, 1983 as unconstitutional; and termed Bangladeshi infiltration as “external aggression” and directed deportation of illegal immigrants. Shockingly, on February 10, 2006, the government passed the Foreigners (Tribunals for Assam) Order to nullify this judgement. But on December 5, 2006, the Supreme Court quashed this Order also as unconstitutional; and called for implementation of its earlier judgement dated July 12, 2005 for deporting illegal aliens.
Despite the Supreme Court’s above-mentioned judgements, no infiltrators have been deported. Rather, the infiltrators are being given voting rights.
Why are Hindus so self-effacing?
Indian government’s policy of denial and perverse secularism (which in reality means anti-Hinduism) is leading to gradual Pak-Bangla take-over of Bharat.
To prevent the creation of more Pakistans and Bangladeshs on Bharat’s land, the government has to implement the Supreme Court’s judgements dated July 12, 2005 and December 5, 2006 to deport the infiltrators and to curb their daily influx. Besides, all Indo-Pak and Indo-Bangla road and rail journeys, cultural and sports relations, and peace talks have to be discontinued. Moreover, India must protect its borders to prevent invaders from entering India. Besides, terrorist network in Pakistan and Bangladesh must be smashed to take the war into enemy territory.
But shackled by fake secularism, successive Indian governments have been inventing reasons for their inaction. Since the so-called secular India has surrendered before its tormentors, secular India has to be transformed into Hindu Bharat to crush the invaders.
Logically, in 1947, on India’s Partition on religious basis and creation of Pakistan as demanded by Muslims, Bharat should have been declared a Hindu nation. But the problem can be solved even now by declaring Bharat as a Hindu country. No one can object to Bharat being declared a Hindu nation when all the 57 Muslim-majority countries (including Pakistan and Bangladesh which used to be Hindu lands) are declared as Islamic countries.
Hindu Bharat will give justice to all and appease none. In Hindu Bharat, there will be one law and one nation; and no distinction of majority and minority; and no discrimination, whatsoever, against any community.
Apart from protecting Hindus and Bharat’s Hindu identity, Hindu Bharat will transform imbecile India into an assertive nation. Hindu Bharat will remember its history, and will take all measures to crush the terrorist attacks and demographic invasion. Hindu Bharat will restore Hindus’ fighting spirit and self-esteem, and remove laws which discriminate against Hindus. Accordingly, all pro-Hindu individuals and organisations should join hands to transform India into a Hindu nation by all peaceful, constitutional and lawful means.
And Hindu Bharat will certainly remember its past history as also M.A. Jinnah’s ‘Two Nations’ theory; and demolish Pak-Bangla design to plant more Pakistans and Bangladeshs in Bharat.

Explosive Muslim Population Growth Rate in India
aidharma’s blog is being reproduced here to give maximum exposure to the dangers of Islamic population explosion in India. Muslim breeding coupled with their hobby to decimate non Muslims, will pave the way for the extermination of Hindus in India as well. Also read Indian Census and Muslim population growth
jaidharma.sulekha.com, Nov 22 2005 |
I recently came across a small booklet written in Marathi by Dr Shrirang Godbole titled, “Ahindu Loksankhyecha Visfot” (published Oct ’04 by “Bharatiya Vichar Sadhana” in Pune.
The book dealt with the explosive growth in non-Hindu populations in India. Below are some of the more startling statistics included in the book. I am not sure if a translation is available, nevertheless these facts will give you a flavour of the contents.
The book starts by noting that the boycott by Hindus of the census in 1921, 1931 and 1941 (I’m not clear about the exact reasons) and the resultant misrepresentation (under-representation?) in population statistics may have led to Hindus loosing out on several important decisions related to opportunities in government and administration, political reforms and constitutional matters at the time of Partition.
But coming back to the real point, here are some highlights:
· Of the 543 Lok Sabha constituencies, Muslims are in a majority in 12. Of these, 4 are in J & K, one in Lakshdweep and the rest are in Kishanganj (Bihar, 66%), Ponani (Kerala, 66%), Jangipur (W Bengal, 59%), Murshidabad (W Bengal, 58%), Manjeri (Kerala, 56%), Dhubri (Assam, 55%) , Raiganj (W Bengal, 55%). However, Muslims hold a decisive vote in anywhere between 90-100 constituencies in the country. In Uttar Pradesh, politically one of the most important states, Muslims constitute more than 20% of the voting population in more than 34 Lok Sabha constituencies (of a total of 543). (Pg 18)
· There is no demonstrable link between illiteracy (or under-development) and Muslim population as many commentators would lead us to believe. In Maharashtra, although Hindus have a lower rate of literacy (both in terms of males and females), Muslims have a higher birth rate than Hindus in every single district (Pg 22)
· Amongst all the states in India, Assam has seen the maximum decline in Hindu population. In the 4 districts bordering Bangladesh (Dhubri, Golpara, Hailakandi and Karimganj), Muslims constitute between 52% ~ 75% of the population. Between 1991 and 2001, Muslim growth rate in Assam in was 29.3% compared to 14.8% for non-Muslims. Today, 10 out of 23 districts in Assam are Muslim majority
· Of the 9 boundary districts in W Bengal, all except 3 have Muslim majority
· In Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh, Muslim population grew by 150% and 180% respectively. Nagaland has 16 major tribes but there has been a “new” addition in the last 10 years – “Semiyan” (persons descended from Bangaldeshi men - “Mian” and Naga women) which is a designated Muslim tribe
· In R K Ohri’s book (“Long March of Islam – The Future Imperfect”, Manas Publications, N Delhi, pp 235, 238), Sarifa Begum has estimated that between 1981 and 1991, 14 ~ 15 million Bangladeshis illegally entered (and consequently disappeared) in India. As conclusive evidence, the population growth in boundary districts on the Indian side has consistently outpaced the growth in boundary districts on the Bangladeshi side (see table below)
| Bangladeshi boundary region | Population Growth Rate | Adjoining Indian region | Population Growth Rate |
| Greater Jessore and Greater Khulna | 1.97% and 1.58% | North 24 Parganas, W Bengal | 3.16% |
| Greater Maimensingh | 1.82% | Garo Hills, Meghalaya | 3.84% |
| Greater Commila | 1.89% | Tripura | 3.36% |
· In 2003, George Fernandes has gone on record saying that illegal infiltration from Bangladesh into India has consistently been running at a rate of more than 1 lakh persons per year (p 235 of Sh Ohri’s book)
When will we wake up?
Irfan Husain:- Everywhere I go, I am asked why Pakistan is focus of Islamic extremism and terrorism
rfan Husain is one of those rare enlightened Pakistani writers.
Facing the truth
By Irfan Husain, Dawn
December 03, 2008 Wednesday
Even in my remote bit of paradise, news of distant disasters filters through: above the steady sound of waves breaking on the sandy beach in Sri Lanka, I was informed by several news channels about the sickening attacks on Mumbai. My Internet connection is erratic and slow, but nevertheless, I have been bombarded with emails, asking me for my take on this latest atrocity.
Over the last few years, I have travelled to several countries across four continents. Everywhere I go, I am asked why Pakistan is now the focal point of Islamic extremism and terrorism, and why successive governments have allowed this cancer to fester and grow. As a Pakistani, it is obviously embarrassing to be put on the spot, but I can see why people everywhere are concerned. In virtually every Islamic terrorist plot, whether it is successful or not, there is a Pakistani angle. Often, foreign terrorists have trained at camps in the tribal areas; others have been brainwashed in madressahs; and many more have been radicalised by the poisonous teachings of so-called religious leaders.
Madeline Albright, the ex-US secretary of state, has called Pakistan ‘an international migraine’, saying it was a cause for global concern as it had nuclear weapons, terrorism, religious extremists, corruption, extreme poverty, and was located in a very important part of the world. While none of this makes pleasant reading for a Pakistani, Ms Albright’s summation is hard to refute. Often, the truth is painful, but most Pakistanis refuse to see it. Instead of confronting reality, we are in a permanent state of denial. This ostrich-like posture has made things even worse.
Most Pakistanis, when presented with the fact that our country is now the breeding ground for the most violent ideologies, and the most vicious gangs of thugs who kill in the name of religion, go back in history to explain and justify their presence in our country. They refer to the Afghan war, and the creation of an army of holy warriors to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan. Then they go on to complain that the Americans quit the region soon after the Soviets did, leaving us saddled with the problem of jihadi fighters from all over the Muslim world camped on our soil.
What we conveniently forget is that for most of the last two decades, the army and the ISI used these very jihadis to further their agenda in Kashmir and Afghanistan. This long official link has given various terror groups legitimacy and a domestic base that has now come to haunt us. Another aspect to this problem is the support these extremists enjoy among conservative Pakistani and Arab donors. Claiming they are fighting for Islamic causes, they attract significant amounts from Muslim businessmen here and abroad. And almost certainly, they also benefited from official Saudi largesse until 9/11.
Now that government policy is to distance itself from these jihadis, we find that many retired army officers have continued to train them in camps being run in many parts of Pakistan. A few weeks ago, Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, a prominent (and very loud) minister under both Nawaz Sharif and Musharraf, openly boasted on TV of running a camp for Kashmiri fighters on his own land just outside Rawalpindi a few years ago. If such camps can be set up a few miles from army headquarters, what’s to stop them from operating in remote areas?
Many foreign and local journalists have exposed aspects of the terror network that has long flourished in Pakistan. Names, dates and addresses have been published and broadcast. But each allegation has been met with a brazen denial from every level of officialdom. Just as we denied the existence of our nuclear weapons programme for years, so too do we refuse to accept the presence of extremist terrorists.
For years, it suited the army and the ISI to secretly harbour and support these groups in Pakistan, Kashmir and Afghanistan. While officially denying that they had anything to do with these jihadis, money and arms from secret sources would reach them regularly. Despite our spooks maintaining plausible deniability, enough information about this covert support for jihadis has emerged for the fig-leaf to slip. And even if the intelligence community has now cut its links with these terrorists, the genie is out of the bottle.
Each time an atrocity like Mumbai occurs, and Pakistan is accused of being involved, the defensive mantra chanted by the chorus of official spokesmen is: “Show us the proof.” The reality is that in terrorist operations planned in secret, there is not much of a paper trail left behind. Nine times out of ten, the perpetrators do not survive to give evidence before a court. But in this case, one terrorist did survive, and Ajmal Amir Kamal’s story points to Lashkar-e-Tayyaba. The sophistication of the attack is testimony to careful planning and rigorous training.
This was no hit-and-run operation, but was intended to cause the maximum loss of life.
Pakistan’s foreign minister said that Pakistan, too, is a victim of terrorism. While this is certainly true, the rest of the world wants to know whey we aren’t doing more to root out the training camps, and lock up those involved. Given the vast un-audited amounts from the exchequer sundry intelligence agencies lay claim to, their failure to be more effective against internal terrorism is either a sign of incompetence, or of criminal collusion. Benazir Bhutto’s murder, after an earlier attempt and many warnings, is a reminder of how poorly we are served by our intelligence agencies.
And while the diplomatic fallout from the Mumbai attack spreads and threatens to escalate into an armed confrontation, the biggest winners are those who carried out the butchery of so many innocent people. It is to their advantage to prevent India and Pakistan from coordinating their fight against terrorism. Tension between the two neighbours suits them, while peace and cooperation threatens their very existence.
The world is naturally concerned about the danger posed by these terror groups to other countries. However, the biggest threat they pose is to Pakistan itself. Until Pakistanis grasp this brutal reality and muster up the resolve necessary to crush them, these killers will tear the country apart.
A joker called Pakistan. The only country in the world that negotiates with a gun to its own head
Irfan Hussain, a leading Pakistani newspaper columnist, recently bemoaned that “Pakistan was the only country in the world that negotiates with a gun to its own head. Our argument goes something like this: If you don’t give us what we need, the government will collapse and this might result in anarchy, and a takeover by Islamic militants. Left unstated here is the global risk these elements would pose as they would have access to Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal.” A state which threatens to explode and destroy everyone else on the planet unless it is pampered is akin to a suicide bomber whose message to his enemies is to change their policies “or else”.

Hindus In Pakistan
-
Hindus constitute about 2.5 per cent, or 26 lakh, of Pakistan's population.
-
Though sprinkled all over Pakistan, 95 per cent of Hindus are in Sindh.
-
Only Tharparkar district in Sindh has Hindus in majority: 51 per cent.
-
Other districts with sizeable population: Mirpur Khas (41 per cent), Sanghar (35 per cent), Umerkot (43 per cent)
-
Nearly 82 per cent of Pakistani Hindus are lower caste, most of them farm labourers
-
Cities with some Hindu population: Karachi, Hyderabad, Jacobabad, Lahore, Peshawar and Quetta.

In Tharparkar, Hindus own land. Krishen Bheel, Gyan Chand and Ramesh Lal are the Hindus in the Pakistan National Assembly. ***
Let me confess at the outset: I'm travelling in interior Sindh to verify specifically the reported widespread menace of abduction of Hindu girls, their forcible conversion to Islam and betrothal to Muslim men. My first port of call is the district court of Mirpur Khas. I promptly mingle among the crowd waiting for the court's decision on a kidnap-and-conversion case. Different voices narrate contradictory stories. I am befuddled for the moment.
Soon, a frisson of excitement sweeps through the throng, as a police van drives through the gate. Inside it is Mariam. She's 13 years old-and married! Mariam was Mashu, and Hindu, till the night of December 22, 2005. I pick my way through the jostling crowd. Mariam is in a red burqa, her gold nose ring sparkles. She tells me, "I'm happy. I don't want to return to my parents or brother." What's the fuss about, I wonder.
It's quite another story under the pipal tree of the court compound. Huddled under it are the villagers of Jhaluree, 20 km from Mirpur Khas. Among them is Mashu's father, Malo Sanafravo. He says that at 11 pm, December 22, four armed men barged into their room. One of them was Malo's neighbour, Akbar. They picked up Mashu, bundled her into the waiting car. "She was taken to Pir Ayub Jan Sarhandi's village in Somarho tehsil." There Mashu became Mariam and was married to Akbar.
Not true, insists husband Akbar. "Mariam has been always in my heart," he gushes, saying, at 11 pm, December 22, it was she who had come over to his house. But it's true that the Pir converted her and married them-it was his idea that they issue statements in the court. "Mariam was sent to Darul Aman in Hyderabad, in judicial custody," Akbar declares.
A 13-year-old choosing to convert and marry? A 13-year-old testifying in the court, without her family by her side? Suspicious, I walk over to the SHO, caught in the middle of a heated exchange between two groups. Someone suggests he should allow the girl to meet her relatives. Before the conversion yes, not now. She has now become Muslim, says the SHO. He argues, "There's a huge crowd here. If Mariam breaks down after seeing her father, there will be a communal riot here in the compound."
A little later, there are celebrations as the word spreads: the court has allowed the couple to live together. Standing next to me is Kanjee Rano Bheel. He works for an NGO in the education sector; volunteers for the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) as well. "In just two hours Mashu was converted and married," Kanjee says incredulously. Disappointment and helpless rage fleet across his face. "In Darul Aman the girls are kept away from parents and pressured into issuing statements favourable to the abductors. They tame stubborn girls through death threats."
So, was Mashu abducted and forcibly converted?
In Mirpur Khas, truth resembles the mirage of the surrounding Thar desert, teasing and tormenting me as I drive from Karachi into interior Sindh.
| It tests your credulity, it challenges your journalistic skills. Wherever I go, and whoever I meet, in disconsolate voices the Hindus talk about 'missing girls'; their stories resemble Mashu's-the theme of abduction, conversion, often followed by marriage, is common to most narrations. The girls then appear in courts to issue statements declaring their conversion was voluntary. All links to the natal family and the community are severed; they are lost to the family forever. On January 4, 2005, Marvi, 18, and Hemi, 16, were kidnapped from Kunri village in Umerkot district; three months later, on March 3, 14-year-old Raji was abducted from Aslam Town Jhuddo, Mirpur Khas. | ||||||||||||||||||

Saleemullah, perhaps, should tap the HRCP for statistics. Its director in Lahore, I.A. Rehman, is an honourable man. Rehman told Outlook that the HRCP has, between Jan 2000 to Dec 2005, documented 50 cases involving conversion of Hindu girls to Islam. Its investigations too endorse what I had found in interior Sindh. | ||||||||||||||||||

"These Hindu women are mistreated, their husbands do nothing but see TV," says the Pir.| such marriages didn't last long. With links to their families cut off, the girls were subsequently forced to marry another Muslim or sucked into marriage rackets. Nuzzhat Shirin, who works for the Lahore-based ngp Aurat Foundation, understands why the girls don't reveal their plight at the time they are presented in court. "When a Hindu is forced to become Muslim, such a ruckus is made that if the young kidnapped girl appears in court, the fanatics yell, scream, throw rose petals in the air and follow the youth into the building so that she's intimidated and can't speak," Shirin explains. Social stigma arising from the loss of virginity, and the consequent difficulty of finding a groom, prompt these women to accept their misfortune-and hope for the best. Fifty incidents in five years represents just a percentage of the total number of cases, says Kanjee, pointing out that a majority of such crimes go unreported. "There have been 50 such incidents last year," insists Krishen Bheel, who is a Hindu member of the National Assembly (MNA), the Pakistani equivalent of the Lok Sabha. He begins to rattle out the cases he remembers: two months back Sapna was kidnapped and converted in upper Sindh; seven months earlier it was 17-year-old Lakshmi in Nawkot, and then.... "The trend is increasing," he says. "If these conversions are voluntary, then how come boys rarely ever convert?"
Only once did the popular resentment against abduction spill out in the streets of Mirpur Khas. It was in the '80s: a girl named Sita had been kidnapped. Some 70,000 Hindus turned up to protest the kidnapping. The police opened fire, killing several. "Sita was never returned," Krishen laments. "She had even told Justice Dhorab Patel, who later joined the HRCP, that she had been forcibly converted. |
| We have now stopped agitating." Instead, the Hindus take the support of civil rights groups and the media to publicise abduction cases, hoping public scrutiny would goad the state into action. On Dec 30, the day after the Mariam case was disposed, the Supreme Court took cognisance of the complaint Qosheela's parents from Ghotki, Sindh, had filed. They claimed their 13-year-old girl had been kidnapped, converted, given the name of Hajra and married to a Muslim man. The girl, as in most other cases, had said she had converted of her own free will. A three-member bench, headed by Chief Justice Iftiqar Muhammad Chaudhry, ordered the medical examination of the girl to determine whether she had attained puberty (Islam permits marriage at that age). | ||||||||||||||||||

"A majority of such abductions and conversions go unreported," says Kanjee Bheel, of the HRCP.| under the dictates of their new religion not to live with infidels, including their Hindu parents. The letter bore the address of Madrassa Taleemul Islam, Karachi. It prompted Supreme Court Bar Association president Malik Mohammad Qayyum to petition the Supreme Court in the first week of December. He accused the religious seminary's administrator of using coercive methods to convert the three girls. On December 16, the court ordered the police to shift the girls to the Edhi Welfare Centre and provide protection to them until the time it was ascertained they had been indeed compelled to convert to Islam. Sensitive Muslim citizens feel the way to counter the menace is to reinterpret and widen the scope of law. | ||||||||||||||||||

Rehana was earlier Nabee. She converted three years ago after her husband died.| to one of them. Shafi asks, "Isn't something very, very wrong here? Suppose the poor girl was forced into changing her religion and marrying one of the assailants so that they get off the hook? Can't the state prosecute the four on its own, for their original crime of rape?"
Till then, though, the fear of kidnap stalks the Hindus of Pakistan. Krishen Bheel says Hindu girls are scared to go out; he has enrolled his own children into a Christian school. He points to Mirpur Khas' strange predicament: there's freedom to worship, there are 10 temples which bustle through the day with devotees; and yet Hindu girls here are kidnapped and converted-and the community humiliated. Perhaps these abductions are part of the general scenario of crime against women in rural Pakistan (see box). Perhaps they are converted and married to criminals to enable the latter to escape the dragnet of the law. Yet, such arguments don't comfort the Hindus. Sat Ram, of Shadi Bali village near Mirpur Khas, says Hindu girls are deprived of education because their parents are apprehensive of sending them to schools located at a distance. "They receive education only till the primary level. It isn't safe to send them to school after that." But the plight of Hindu women can't be seen just through the prism of gender discrimination rampant in rural Sindh. |
| Reena Gul, of Sattar Nagar village, Mirpur Khas, says the boys too are converted but their numbers are very few. The community here feels it is the Islamist's agenda to drive out non-Muslims from Pakistan. In fact, Krishen told the National Assembly that even Hindu businessmen are being kidnapped in Sindh for ransom. He said on the floor of the House, "Several religious parties are reportedly behind the move to convince the people that it is their responsibility to get rid of infidels from Pakistan, (that) taking ransom from non-Muslims is not a sin." I now set out to meet Pir Ayub Jan Sarhandi, whose name surfaces repeatedly in conversion stories. | ||||||||||||||||||

Ruksana was Chotee. Poverty and a drug abuser husband made her convert to Islam.Yet, when he begins to talk, he conceals nothing. Yes, the Pir declares, he has been converting the Hindus for the last 30 years. Perhaps his claims of converting a 1,000 families a year is a boast. "There's a surah in the Quran which speaks specifically about conversion, especially about conversion of women," he says to justify his mission. "Recently, three Hindu girls were brought to me. I named them Benazir, Sanam and Nusrat," he reveals, with the righteous air of someone who had bestowed a favour. "These Hindu women are mistreated by their husbands who do nothing but watch TV."
The Pir rubbishes the allegation that he converts abducted Hindu girls. The unwilling are sent back. Yet, he adds in the same breath, "In many cases Hindu girls are kidnapped and kept as keeps. But these keeps are not converted. But believe me, they are very happy."
I express the desire to meet the women whom he had converted and found sanctuary with him. The Pir agrees, even allows us to photograph them, contrary to the local tradition. Into the room, the women walk. Rehana, 50, was earlier Nabee; she converted three years ago, after the death of her husband. "I had no one to turn to. If we do not convert we would not be helped by this family." It was the same reason for 35-year-old Mariam, who came here seven years back. "Under the Pir's protection, I earn at least Rs 200 a month." Ruksana was earlier Chotee, and hails from Umerkot. Extreme poverty and a drug-addict husband persuaded her to take the extreme step. "I brought my four kids as well," she declares.
As I talk to these women, I realise most of them are widows or wallowing in poverty. I mention this to the Pir. He says, "The government is responsible for all Hindus and non-Hindus. When the government doesn't help them, they come to us."
Forced or economically enticed, the Hindu converts do not symbolise Islam's appeal. Rather they represent the state's failure to provide succour to the poor and protect their religious rights. Perhaps it's also symptomatic of the sickness afflicting the Pakistani state. As they say, the condition of the minorities is an indicator of a nation's health.
