Atrocities Against Minorities – IN PAKISTAN | Rahul Sur

Rahul Sur in his address presents the important aspects of the complaint to be filed in UN Human Rights Commission regarding the atrocities against Hindus, Christians and Sikhs in Pakistan. He begins by defining genocide and outlining the methodology used to draft the complaint. He then delves into the physical destruction and the dire situation of minorities in Pakistan as reported by Pakistani experts and authors.

He also explores the atrocity crimes and the intent behind them, while also examining how references to Islam in UN documents relate to these events and the relevant Islamic ideologies that underpin them. He further discusses the role of Mohammed Ali Jinnah in promoting hatred, the failed Nehru-Liaquat Agreement, and the targeted conversion of Hindu and Christian girls. In his analysis, he also covers the content taught in Pakistani schools, the second-class status of Hindus, Christians, and Sikhs, and the broader issue of social apartheid in Pakistan. He concludes with a Q&A answer session discussing the anticipated outcomes of the complaint, spreading awareness, correcting the narrative and examining if the Pakistani population is complicit in these issues.
