The Minority within Hindu minority: Exploring Experiences of the Bheel and Manghwar Communities of Sindh
(UMT.Lahore, 2025) Muhammad Ali
Hindus are an important minority community in Pakistan. Most of them are residents of Sindh province. The internal dynamics of the Hindu community are not simple due to the prevalent caste system. The caste system affects the inhabitants in every aspect, specifically for the life of the minority (lower castes). This study explores a minority within a minority in the Hindu community; it explores the case of ‗Bheel‖ and ―Manghwar‖- the deemed lower castes within the Hindu community. This study explores the caste system of Hindu minorities, who are natives of the district, particularly in Sanghar and Sindh, and belong to the mentioned caste groups. This study tries to make sense of the experience of the participants of the community. Not only does it have an impoverished existence, but it also lacks political voices and common discourse in academia
