Pakistan, which was created because it was thought that Muslims would not hold equal rights or have level playing opportunities within the Indian subcontinent , went ahead and created an Islamic state which ironically in turn resulted in establishing a country, that treats its minorities as second class citizens ( see voting rights, tax laws, inability to run for higher public office etc).
Pakistan today is a far cry from Jinnah's statement “You are free; free to go to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques, or to any other place of worship in the State of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion or caste or creed-that has nothing to do with the business of the State…We are starting with this fundamental principles that we are all citizens and equal citizens of our State.”
Archaic ordinances in their law require a women raped to produce 4 male witnesses to file a criminal report. The claim to be a republic is also in jeopardy because of its military coups and military rule over its short history. .
In Pakistan, Dalits known as Scheduled Castes. In Pakistan, roughly 3 million is the Dalits Population. The SCs belong to various Castes, and are scattered all over Pakistan. SCs are not allowed to Vote Freely for the Candidates of their own Choices, or Contest in Election easily. Dr. Nazir S Bhatti, President of Pakistan Christian Congress PCC said that Muslims parties have again stabbed at back of 20 million Pakistani Christians by not repealing Blasphemy Law and awarding Dual Voting rights in proposed 18th amendment in constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
Irony is- secular India on the other hand allows all forms of Islam to be preached and practiced.
