Most people here have not met Pakistani Hindus but I have met Pakistani Hindus in person and interacted with them.
They told stories that are not only horrendous but surpass every form of Human brutality and indecency.
A few of us might have read a few hundred Pakistani Hindus coming for the Kumbh Mela and not going back. A senior citizen named Shri Nahar Singh living in Bijwasan village in Delhi gave them shelter in his building. He was earning thousands from the rent but sacrificed it all as he considered them as his sons and daughters.
I met them last December and interacted with them about their conditions and the below is what they told me.
There was a man named Hanuman Das who said:
"We do not send our children to school as they are forcefully taught Islam, beaten up and discriminated. We cannot send our women folk outside as they tease them and we cannot protest because if we do the next step will be rape. Women are abducted on a regular basis and found days later just to be found that they have been converted to Islam(Rinkle Kumari case is a very infamous case there). If we go to the Police station they say that you are Kaafir Hindus(Infidel Hindus) and chase us away. Our homes are not safe and even a minor fight will lead to local Muslims occupying our homes illegally. We do not get jobs and have to do Labour work only. Temples are burnt, broken and idols smashed.
We have a large home in Pakistan but I sold it only for two lakhs but the actual price is 1 crore. Muslims have taken all our land which was ours and we have to work as labourers on the land we once owned(He belonged to a Zameendar Family before the Partition).
We can't cremate our dead as we are not allowed to and we have to bury them."
A man had to leave behind his old Father and Mother in Pakistan as they could not come to India. He said I don't know whether they are dead or alive.
One incidence that he told shocked me to the core.
He said one of his acquaintances daughter, who was a Hindu, was kidnapped by people who entered the house and took her away in broad daylight. I could not ask did the Police helped or not.
Reason of the Kidnapping which he told me?
"Because Virat Kohli had hit a Century against Pakistan."
I was left thinking that what would be my plight if this happens to someone close to me or in my own home. Imagine the plight of a father or a brother who knows his sister or daughter is at the present moment being getting raped or her religious conversion is taking place.
All of this because you are not a Muslim.
You are worse of than cattles if you are a Hindu in Pakistan. Goats are treated better the reason is that you do not belong to Islam.
We distributed Blankets to them just to show solidarity and to tell them they are welcomed and can live in "Peace" here. Sometimes even a welcome gesture does tremendous amount of support.
They are now living in Delhi and doing small jobs to earn a livelihood. The best thing about them was they said "That we will earn our own livelihood and don't need any alms" but I knew that it is their helplessness that was speaking at that time. I had many feelings in mind of sadness, anger, helplessness at the same time before we left.
I really salute Shri Nahar Singh Ji who gave them shelter at his own expense.He said he did it not only for Humanity but because they were his"Hindu Brothers and Sisters".
At the end they simply said "We will die but not go back......Please let us stay here".
