Pakistani Hindu community: The financial condition of the Hindu community in Pakistan is so bad that it cannot even be imagined.

If we talk about the number of Hindus in Pakistan, then according to the report of the year 2023 of Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, at present the number of Hindus in Pakistan is only 53 lakhs. Whereas at present the total population of Pakistan is around 24 crores. The surprising thing is that the condition of most Hindus living in Pakistan is very bad. These people are somehow running their households by doing hard labour.

Pakistani Hindus live in huts
To know the condition of Hindus in Pakistan, YouTuber Pritam Das reached a village in Rahim Yar Khan district of Punjab. Here he told that most of the Hindus living in Pakistan belong to the Dalit community. In the village he reached, all the people of Dalit community live. No one has a proper house. People are somehow living by making houses of mud and huts.
Hindu children do not go to school in Pakistan
People of Pakistan told that they do not have any job and somehow run the house by doing labour work. Children do not go to school because they do not have money to send them to school. There is a fee even in government schools. One person told that he rears animals of others and gets money in return. They also do farming. Some people told that they work as labourers. On the question of not having a permanent house, they said that money is needed to buy bricks which they do not have. Bricks are available with money, so they build huts and live there.
