Pakistani Hindu Refugees brothers and sisters bursting firecrackers and lights, perhaps the first time in life ever since coming back from Pakistan.
Hindu Mahasabha of America donated sweets and firecrackers to Pakistani Hindu refugees based in blue city Jodhpur, Rajasthan. Local Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) activists and other Hindu volunteers assisted in towards this donation event. Approximately 700—900 Pakistani Hindus are based in Jodhpur area of Rajasthan since past one year. Most of these refugees are from the state of Sindh province of Pakistan. Pakistani Hindus are facing a series of human rights violation which include loot, rape of women and kidnapping and other religious restrictions under the Islamic republic of Pakistan. In recent reports published by many international Human rights organizations the population of Hindus in Pakistan has decimated from 18% since independence (1947) to 3%. Political system in Pakistan has failed to protect minorities which are facing worst human rights violation under the current government headed by current prime minister Mr.Nawaz Sharif.
