Abstract
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
