The British Council and the British Alumni Association of Pakistan held a seminar on Feb 23 on %u201Cchildren%u2019s right; are we doing enough?%u201D
The keynote speaker and the 6 panelists expressed their views which were followed by a question and answer session for over one hour. Members of the audience asked many questions but most disturbing and heart rending was asked by an old Sindhi Hindu lawyer.
He said that that underage Hindu girls, as young as 12, were being kidnapped, forced to marry and convert to Islam. Parents%u2019 attempt to file an FIR against the culprits is not registered by the police, they take no action against the criminal, the girl is never recovered, the parents suffer life-long pain, and NGOs take no action while the media ignores it. The complaint was confirmed by the fact that the news report in the following day%u2019s newspapers on the seminar did not even mention this point.
He wanted to know why was it so? Is not kidnapping, irrespective of the faith and ethnic background of the victim, a crime under the laws of Pakistan? Are such heinous acts not un-Islamic, and immoral? Why does the state behave like a helpless bystander and why do human right organizations in Pakistan maintain a deafening silence? Do they not know what pain and humiliation it causes to the parents, particularly to the mother whose little girl is taken away forcefully and never allowed to meet her again?

In fact that is the fate for all Hindus in India in near future, Hindus can never Unite ,they are always keeping their own interest first, nation and society comes last , Hindus would have same fate in India within few years when jaichands, jaidraths and mulayams/Lalus will shifts their children to US /Europe and leave the country in similar situation, then this country would become secular , lead and inhabited mostly by some other relegion which is much more united and does not allow Jaichands/Mulayams to breed

They have learnt this from the Hindu politics played in Kondhmal issue or our friend Prabin Thogadia. One day, the Sangh Pariwar may start doing the same to all minorities!

All religions lead to heinous activities. God created the world and man has created 'religons'to ignore the true almighty ONE God. No religion can be united nor do anything good without shunning it's beliefs and putting their trust in the true Loving God, who created one and all and cares for one and all!No religion can provide security but only insecurity. Only God is our security!!
