We should not discriminate any group of people on the basis of color, cast, and religion especially. At the time of partition “Hostage Theory” was adopted, according to this theory the Hindu minorities were given fair deal in Pakistan to ensure the protection of Muslims in India but Quaid-e-azam already made it clear to people of Pakistan that minorities should not be discriminated and are equal. He said,
“Minorities, to whichever community they may belong, will be safeguarded. Their religion or faith or belief will be secure. There will no interference of any kind with their freedom of worship. They will have protection with their regard to their religion, faith, their life, and their culture.”
EDUCATION
Education play an important role in the building of Pakistani society. Students of lower group are not given that good quality of studies as provided to the students of upper class. Similarly to the minorities in Pakistan, non-Muslim students face discrimination, helplessness, hatred in their classrooms weather by fellows or teachers. Also they are forced to study a compulsory subject of Islamic studies instead of alternate subjects like ethics. The education among women is less than men because of the mentality of people that girls have to stay home and be married as soon as she got maturity. So they don’t prefers girl`s studies.
GENDER
Gender discrimination refers to unjust treatment. It is the most common issue in Pakistan which badly affects the society. Women plays very important role in a society, she is the one who can change the world but in Pakistan women has to face multidimensional problems like honor killing, acid throwing, sexual assaults, domestic violence and so on. On the other hand another group of people are being discriminated in Pakistan who is Transgender. They are not given equality in Pakistan not even they do not get employment or other facilitate measures which force them to beg.
Pakistan is not a rich country and there are many people who are poor and do not have much money to spend even on food, clothes and shelter. Government of Pakistan is trying hard to come up with this issue but it cannot be solved until l people would let it be.
