WASHINGTON DC: September 22, 2010. (PCP) A delegation of the Hindu American Foundation (HAF) has expressed its concerns over the alleged human rights violation of the minority Hindu Sindhi community in Pakistan to the country's Embassy officials here. The HAF delegation during its meeting with the Pakistan Embassy officials proposed to send a team of Hindu American physicians on an immediate basis to offer medical-aid and supplies specifically to the people of the Sindh region in the country. "The Pakistani Hindu Sindhi community requires unique dietary, psychological and rehabilitative needs," HAF's Arvind Chandrakantan said. "We sincerely believe that a medical team from the Hindu American Foundation with its combined expertise in a variety of medical sub-specialities can evaluate, provide medical care for and help coordinate the future needs of this community," he added. The delegation also presented a copy of the latest edition of HAF's human rights report 'Hindus in South Asia and the Diaspora: a Survey of Human Rights 2009'. The Foundation's Human Rights Coordinator, Professor Ramesh Rao listed four major concerns consistently raised in its annual report: the abduction and rape of young Hindu women/girls who might then be forcibly converted or married to Muslim men, blasphemy laws targeting minority members, the inclusion of religious identity in Pakistani passports and bonded labour in Sindh province that mostly affected poor Hindus.
