Re: Are Shia muslims safer in Pakistan or in india?
No doubt, Pakistan hasn't been very kind to its Shia population.
But I still think the situation is better than in India. In India, it doesnt matter what sect of Islam you follow...Muslims in general occupy the lowest rung of Indian society, and face discrimination in education, employment, housing, etc....according to some studies they're even more backwards as a group than the Untouchables. Not to mention the periodic riots that claim the lives of a few thousand people every couple of years...Also, India has its share of sectarian strife too...every Moharram there are Sunni-Shia clashes in all the major cities with large Shia populations...Lucknow, Hyderabad, Delhi, etc
India has plenty of things going for it...but its definitely not a hospitable place for the average *Muslim *(meaning other than the 0.5% who have found success in bollywood & politics)...
i never heard it in Hyderabad, only lucknow has that problem not even delhi
