Book -Nationalism Or Racialism Volume 02

 It's disheartening to discuss the challenges faced by Pakistani Christians, who have been faithful citizens and contributors to the country. Before Pakistan was established, Christians actively voted for its creation.

However, the reality for Pakistani Christians is one of exploitation and a lack of rights.  Christians continue to face an unsatisfactory living condition in every aspect of life, from education to employment. The absence of proper leadership for Pakistani Christians means they struggle to raise a voice their opinions and suggestions for the betterment of Pakistan. 


There is a lack of security for Christian beliefs, homes, families, and children. Unfortunately, derogatory terms like "Cherara" are still used to insult Christians, demonstrating an inferior complex deeply rooted in society. Even in government institutions, the recommendations of churches are not accepted. 


Pakistani Christians find it challenging to lead organizations or participate in national and provincial assemblies independently. Those in leadership positions often belong to specific parties and are constrained by party rules. Extremists dominate and terrorize Christian families, children, and individuals, creating a false narrative that portrays Pakistani Christians as involved in undesirable activities.


The Christian community, after enduring 76 years of persecution, feels it is time to seek asylum in other countries or establish a separate province within Pakistan where they can be respected as good citizens with safety for their women, girls, and children. The lack of proper laws for Christian divorce adds to the challenges faced by the community.


Mission schools, colleges, and universities have been nationalized, Christian names of cities and roads changed, and Christian villages and churches targeted and attacked. Girls and women suffer from rape, and forced conversions are rampant under extremist influence.


These issues highlight a lack of justice, corruption, and extremism in the system, leading to a desperate need for change. The plea is for international bodies, such as the British Government, UNO, and the USA, to provide asylum for Pakistani Christians or help establish a safe space within Pakistan where their rights and safety are protected.

  

The aim is not to harbor hatred towards Muslims but to express discontent with the existing system, seeking freedom and justice for the Christian community in Pakistan.
