Neighbour: The Saga of Forced Conversions in Pakistan (Screening and Discussion)

» Join us for the screening of 'Hum Saya' (Neighbour), an award-winning documentary produced by the Centre for Social Justice (CSJ), which recently received the ‘Best Short Documentary on Human Rights’ award at the Venice Intercultural Film Festival 2023. The film, which has been screened at prestigious venues including the University of Oxford, sheds light on the harrowing stories of abduction, forced conversion, and forced marriage in Pakistan.

Directed by Dawood Murad, 'Hum Saya' skillfully weaves together real-life accounts of the victims and their families, highlighting the role of neighbors and communities as the first line of protection for marginalized groups. Through the powerful narratives of individuals like Jamal Haider and the neighbor of Asif Masih, the film emphasizes the importance of solidarity and community support in combating this multi-faceted criminality.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion, offering a deep dive into the issues explored in the film and a chance to reflect on how we can champion human rights and social justice for marginalized groups in Pakistan.

I met one Christian family here in usa. They came here as tourists and then applied for asylum. They were granted asylum on the basis of atrocities committed on minorities in Pakistan. I being from India was shocked to know that only jobs Christians get in Pakistan is street sweeping jobs.

1). Kya is meeting me ek bhi minority ka insaan mojood hai???? Jinke bare me ye discussion chal raha hai??
2). Ek taraf Is meeting me minority ki fikr ki ja rahi hai, doosri taraf Zakir Naik ko bulakar majhabi agression badhane ki koshish ki ja rahi hai.

You guys are lying see verse 9:29
Fight those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day, nor comply with what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, nor embrace the religion of truth from among those who were given the Scripture, 1 until they pay the tax, 2 willingly submitting, fully humbled.

[arya.bharat]

Jab tak religious philosophy nahi pedhoge tab tak secular nahi banoge or jab tak secular nahi banoge tab tak insaan nahi

The problem is, you guys don't handle the root cause which teachings in your books, unless you speak openly on this, nothing is going to change.
