The Plight of Minority Groups and Women Living in Pakistan

National Hindu Students’ Forum UK (NHSF) and partners are launching the Human Boundaries campaign to raise awareness of the Human and Civil Rights abuses which are faced by minority groups living in Pakistan. We are also looking to petition the British, Pakistani and Indian government, as well as the United Nations, to see if we can impact on certain legislations which are being requested by minority groups in living in Pakistan.


NHSF (UK) will be showcasing the award winning documentary by Rahul Riji Nair of 35 minutes in 10 locations across the UK. This film will highlight the plight of Hindus in Pakistan and the struggles seeking asylum in India.

Pranav Bhanot, NHSF (UK) President said, “For far too long Hindus and other minority groups in Pakistan have been waiting for protection and justice. Not only is Pakistan failing, but India is also failing to protect people who are coming to them for help. The people who require the most help are the most vulnerable and poorest in society. Within this group of people women are most likely to be targeted, particularly young girls. It is our duty to help them.”

The National Hindu Students Forum UK is the largest Hindu student body in Europe, which aims to protect, preserve, practice and promote Hindu Dharma amongst the Hindu student population. For more information, please contact Chirag Patel who is ex-Vice President of NHSF (UK) and is now part of the Alumni Association:  chirag.patel@nhsf.org.uk.

    PAKISTANI AUTHORITIES SHOULD WORK VERY HARD TO TELL ITS PEOPLE TO TREAT THEIR MINORITY POPULATION WITH RESPECT AND DIGNITY. AFTER ALL MUSLIMS ARE ENJOYING THEIR LIVES LIVING IN iNDIA AND IN OTHER COUNTRIES.
    GOVT. O FINDIA SHOULD ACCEPT ANY HINDU SIKH CHRISTIAN WHO WISH TO COME TO INDIA IF THEY FEEL UNSAFE IN PAKISTAN OR BANGLADESH.
    THANKS.
