Minority Oppression in Pakistan: Shiva Kachhi, a prominent Hindu rights activist in Pakistan, has reportedly received life threats after being accused of anti-Islamic activities and working as an “Indian agent” by the notorious Pir Sarhindi group.

He has publicly expressed his fears, claiming that extremist groups are conspiring against him. In his article to

He says the threats are linked to his work supporting kidnapped and forcibly converted Hindu girls in Sindh. “Those involved in forcible conversion of Hindu girls, the Sarhindi group, are falsely accusing me of being anti-Islamic and anti-state. They want to kill me just like Dr. Shahnawaz Kumbhar,” he explained.

Sindh-based doctor Dr. He described Kumbhar’s killing after he was accused of blasphemy as a warning of what could happen if authorities fail to act.

“My only ‘crime’ is that I raised my voice for Sindhi Hindu girls. I supported them and reunited dozens of girls who were forcibly converted after being abducted with their families. We have always protested at both the national and international levels against the increasing cases of abduction and forced conversion of minor girls,” he said.

“Will our institutions and the government take this into account after I am killed?
I am receiving threats that I will be beheaded. “I could be killed at any moment.”

کیا میرے مارے جانے کے بعد ہمارے ادارے اور حکومت نوٹیس لے گی
مجھے سر کاٹ کے مارنے جیسی دھمکیان مل رہی ہین کسی بھی وقت مین مارا جا… https://t.co/Q0gv4NXjLo— Shiva Kachhi (دراوڙ) (@FaqirShiva) December 11, 2025

He called on Pakistan’s state institutions, including both the Sindh provincial government and federal authorities, to take immediate action and ensure justice for the victims.

Shiva insists his work is based on human rights and compassion, not politics. Highlighting the urgency of the situation, he said, “State institutions, the Sindh government and the federal government must take immediate action and ensure justice.”

She runs an NGO called Darawer Ittehad Pakistan, which works on behalf of religious minorities and documents various cases where Hindu girls were allegedly kidnapped, forced to convert and then married to men of other faiths.

Such alleged practices across Sindh have increased fear and anger within the Hindu community in the country.

For example, it was recently reported that a Hindu woman and her young daughter were kidnapped in Karachi’s Sindhi Mohalla; This caused fear in the local community that they would be forcibly converted and married.

Shiva said he helped register a first information report (FIR) with the police and repeatedly appealed to senior officials to ensure protection of minorities and investigate such crimes.

He says the situation escalated even though he repeatedly referred the issue to law enforcement. He claimed that the Pir Sarhindi group, which is allegedly behind many forced conversions, has intensified the campaign against him. This follows efforts to register cases against its members, including Pir Ajaz Sarhindi, who reportedly facilitated the forced marriage of an underage girl named Sonia.

Shiva said the group labeled him a traitor and called for violent retaliation against him.

Shiva emphasized that his activism was peaceful and focused on human rights, and said he did not make derogatory comments about any religion. “The truth is that I have never made any comments against Islam or any other faith,” he said.

He filed a formal complaint with the police regarding the alleged death threats and requested state protection.
