Islamabad, A recent report highlights the dire conditions faced by the Pakistani Hindu Bhil community living in refugee camps across India, indicating widespread maltreatment and unfulfilled promises by the Indian government.

According to Kashmir Media Service, the report reveals that around 60,000 Pakistani Hindus are residing in various camps within India, including locations in New Delhi, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Assam, Chhattisgarh, and Madhya Pradesh. The documentation calls for the Indian media and international community to spotlight the adverse treatment of these individuals under Prime Minister Modi’s administration and to advocate for their well-being.

Many Hindu families from Pakistan, enticed by the Indian government’s promises of citizenship and employment, have found themselves disillusioned by the reality of their situation. The report shares personal accounts from individuals like Pyaru Shawani from Mithi, Tharparkar, who returned to Pakistan after spending two years in India, disillusioned by the challenges of permanent residency there. Shawani’s sentiment, “there is no place like home,” reflects the broader disappointment among these families, who have either chosen to return to Pakistan or are enduring difficult conditions in India.

Faqiroo Khachi, another returnee, described his family’s experience in India as distressing, encountering discrimination and being derogatorily labeled due to their Pakistani origin and traditional attire. The report outlines that those who remain in India live in immigrant camps, notably in Jodhpur, where they face severe shortages of basic necessities such as medical facilities, water, and education for their children.

This report underscores the stark contrast between the Indian government’s initial promises to the Pakistani Hindu community and their current plight, urging for immediate international intervention to improve their living conditions and ensure their rights are respected.
