Hinduism is the third largest religion in the world after Christianity and Islam. Our country Pakistan is a part of the region where Hinduism originated, having many sacred Hindu worship sites. Hindu community is also an active part of our society in various fields. Before partition in 1947, there was a sizable Hindu community in current areas of Punjab, but almost all of them migrated to India following the communal riots of 1947. Before 1947, Hindu community was in majority in the city of Karachi, Sindh.
After partition, Pakistani Hindu community was mostly concentrated in the provinces of East Pakistan (East Bangal) and Sindh. Following the communal riots of 1949/50 (Barisal riots) millions of Hindus from East Bangal migrated to West Bangal India. As per the first population consensus of Pakistan held in 1951 Hindus constitute about 23% of the population of Pakistan (East Pakistan 22.5%, West Pakistan 1.6%). The percentage of Hindu community fell to about 20% in the 1961 consensus (East Pakistan 18.6%, West Pakistan 1.6%). East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) separated from the rest of Pakistan in 1971, so now Sindh is now the only province of Pakistan with a considerable Hindu community.
Currently Hindus constitute about 1.5% of the Pakistan total population. In Sindh, Hindu community is in sizable numbers in various districts like Tharparker where they constitute 35% of the population. So it is no surprise that the notable persons from Pakistani Hindu community are from these two provinces.
Many Hindus migrated to India from Sindh and Punjab before and after 1947 served at key positions in India. Inder Kumar (IK) Gujaral the former Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of India was born in Jhelum, Punjab and migrated to India in 1947. Lal Krishna Advani the former Home minister of India is from Karachi.
The constitution of Pakistan grants equal rights to all the Pakistanis regardless of their religion. However the same constitution restricts non-muslims for the post of President, Prime Minister, Governor and Chief Minister. Apart from these posts there is no such restriction like Chief Justice of Pakistan can be a non-muslim.
Hindu community is known for their patronage of arts and culture, but ironically in Pakistan very few from them are prominent in the field of arts and showbiz. On the occasion of Diwali, lets acknowledge some notable persons from Hindu Community who have been prominent in various fields.
Jogendra Nath Mandal (جوگندر ناتھ منڈل): Jogendra Nath Mandal is a famous political figure who actively supported the Pakistan indpendence movement and later served on key positions in Pakistan. Jogendra Nath Mandal was from Bangal Lower Caste Hindu Community commonly referred as Dalit (دلت). Being a leader of Dalits, Jogendranath had made common cause with the Muslim League in their demand for Pakistan, hoping that the Dalits would be benefited from Pakistan.
He was the first law minister of Pakistan after independance in 1947. He also served as the chairman of first Constituent Assembly of Pakistan. After the death of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah in 1948, Jogendra Nath Mandal gradually lost faith in the policies of the Pakistani government towards Dalits and Hindus. Despite this on the request of then prime minister Liaqut Ali Khan, Jogendra Nath Mandal supported the Objective Resolution in 1949 despite facing criticism from his own community. Following the Barisal Riots of East Bangal in 1950 and prevailing anti-hindu sentiments across the country he resigned from the cabinet. He wrote a detailed resignation to Prime Minister Liaqut Ali Khan in which he expressed his discontent with the policies of the Federal Government and the East Bangal government towards his community.
He eventually left Pakistan and migrated to Calcutta, West Bangal, India. In India he led a relatively low profile life and passed away in 1968. Though the first law minister of Pakistan and a prominent non-muslim name who supported the Pakistan movement, he is not much remembered in Pakistan.

Do share your thoughts on achievements and contributions of Parsi community in Pakistan.
March is the month is Holi a festival of Hindu community. In Pakistan, Hindu community is also an active part of our society. Before partition in 1947, there was a sizable Hindu community in current areas of Punjab, but almost all of them migrated to India after creation of Pakistan. After partition, Pakistani Hindu community was mostly concentrated in East Pakistan (East Bengal) and Sindh. East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) separated in 1971, so now Sindh is the only province of Pakistan with a considerable Hindu community. So its no surprise that all notable persons from Pakistani Hindu community are from these two provinces.

On the occasion of Holi, lets acknowledge some notable persons from Hindu Community who have been active in arts/showbiz.

Ohkay so, yes, where in the previous article I’ve discussed how there have been such dramas that didn’t really deliver even after having some great actors with big names working for the project, in this one I’m discussing those dramas that frequented our screens which didn’t really have a standout team of cast members but the overall effort of the entire team certainly gave us a good drama. I say that over the last two seasons, such dramas have succeeded more in comparison to the star-studded downer dramas. So, here’s another list of:
Normal Cast Novelties:
Shanakht:
To be honest, I tuned to this play because it didn’t have any big names attached to it as I really wanted a break from all of them as I was tired of seeing bad dramas with good cast, so this one for sure caught my eye. Neither having a considerably overrated cast nor a weekend slot, this drama indeed is a breath of fresh air because of its execution, it’s extremely strong script & the way the mediocre cast has performed to do justice to their roles. Shanakht is based on a unique theme that revolves around a couple that is trying to lead their lives according to the teachings of Islam & I think it is dramatized beautifully. Maya Ali & Fahad Mirza have been phenomenal & Noor Hassan has contributed aptly as well. I must say the writer/director Amna Nawaz Khan has indeed given us such a play which will stay with us for a long long time for sure. :)
Digest Writer:
I wasn’t too keen on watching this drama as well because of Saba Qamar’s latest Izteraab but I am glad I gave this drama a go because it has a different story which I haven’t seen before. Yes, as the name suggests, it’s a story of a girl who aspires to be a writer. This drama isn’t big on cast as well except Saba Qamar, but everyone has contributed in making this drama a complete package. The whole team of drama-makers also deserve a shout out for executing it intelligently because it shows that they have a grip over this project & know what should be done when. Apart from Saba Qamar, Maheen Jafri, Gohar Rasheed, Aiman Khan, Zhalay Sarhadi, Farhan Ali Agha & Agha Ali are also a part of this drama & have been doing really well in their respective bits. The writer is Madiha Shahid & it is directed brilliantly by Ahmad Kamran.
Mohabbat Abb Nahi Hogi:
This drama was indeed a treat to watch. I think that even though the cast was mediocre but this fact was concealed by their wonderful performances & a great direction. Not even a single episode of this drama made you bored & by the end always left you with a little curiosity to anticipate what was going to happen next. The story revolved around Fizza (Armeena Khan) who after marriage didn’t understand her responsibilities & that gave an outlet to a set of new problems that her husband’s family had to face with the onset of new day; every single day. Syed Jibran, Ali Rehman, Armeena Khan, Zainab Qayyum, Nargis Rasheed & Laila Zuberi are the main names of this drama but I never expected a weekday play that too of a 9PM slot to be this good & I must say Saima Akram Chaudhry did a fantastic job as a writer of this play.
Marasim:
The big cast wasn’t one of the main reasons why this drama attracted a good lot of viewers; it was the execution & the story that really kept the interest intact in this play. I remember I used to wait for Sundays so that I could watch & review Marasim as it was a very good drama that dealt with family politics & relations in a whole new light. Ahsan Khan, Sonia Hussain, Mawra Hocane, Saba Hameed, Naila Jaffri, Badar Khalil & Sadia Faisal were the members of the cast & along with the director’s hard work, they gave us a very impressive play. It was a writing of Zanjabeel Asim Shah which was directed tastefully by Owais Khan.
Laa:
I can’t say enough good things about Laa. It was after a very long time when I saw such a drama that created a world of its own & took the viewers on such a ride. I think the strength of this drama was a very strong characterization because every single character had a taste of its own & offered you something incredible. I feel it was one such drama that really had a unique feel to it & the story was unusually fresh as well. Too bad that it ended abruptly but apart from Mikaal Zulfikar, there wasn’t any other popular actor included in the cast but each & everyone did extremely well irrespective of how big or small their roles were. Sadia Khan, Seemi Raheel, Rabia Noreen, Khalid Malik, Sabreen Hisbani, Laila Zuberi, Rehan Sheikh & Qavi Khan were the main members of the cast & it was a writing of Sarmad Sehbai which was directed brilliantly by Farooq Rind.
Ishq Mein Tere:
Ah! This drama brings in some great memories as I remember I loved watching it. Even though the story of Ishq Mein Tere was simple & at times predictable, the direction really made it worth a watch because the director; Faheem Burney knew what he wanted to do with this project & it was evident that he was clear in his vision when it came to this script written perfectly by Sadia Akhtar. The story of Ishq Mein Tere was solely about Aiza (Mehwish Hayat) who was a selfless but a very dignified & focused person who wanted to do good by her family & for the people whom she cared for. Only Mehwish Hayat was a famous actor in this drama but I must say Shehzad Nawaz, Azfar Rehman & Mediha Imam worked brilliantly to add more to this drama.
So, this concludes the series of articles I had in my mind that solely revolved around the cast members. After my recent experience with such dramas, I am definitely giving a try to more such plays which are short on the stars because I am sure they’d be nothing short of perfection. Share your say please & feel free to add more names to the list. :)

There was a time when the shows that played on our Pakistani channels followed some code and conduct. That was the time we could watch TV shows with family without having to be on alert in case the show turns out into something that one would rather not watch with family and need to switch the channel. However, now, that seems to be all gone. We’ve seen hosts dance senseless, embarrass their audience, asked the audience to do things a respectable person wouldn’t want to do on a live television show and even crack some very inappropriate jokes.This time a host’s guest was the problem. Nida Yasir asked Noor to show some dance moves and it seemed like Noor was just waiting for the opportunity. Watch her forget that she is dancing in a live morning show watched by millions of Pakistanis:

Karachi You’re Killing me is a novel by Pakistani author, Saba Imtiaz. It was announced sometime back that Bollywood is making a movie based on it starring Sonakshi Sinha.
And now, finally, the trailer of the movie is out and Saba seems very happy with it.
Soon after the trailer was released, Saba took to Twitter to express her excitement and joy.
The movie is an adaption of the novel. You can watch the trailer here:
After the trailer was released online, Saba expressed her excitement on her twitter account:
“While the book – a coming-of-age story of a journalist named Ayesha Khan — is set in Karachi, Noor will be based in Mumbai and has the eponymous Noor Roy Chaudhary, a 20-something journalist, at its centre,” a close source to the movie, was quoted as saying, reports Mumbai Mirror.
“It’s a beautiful story that follows Noor as she navigates relationships, career, aspirations, life choices, infatuations and body image issues. Every girl will relate to her,” added the source.
However, Sonakshi denied that she will be playing Pakistani journalist. She previously said: “All I can say is that I am not playing a Pakistani journalist in the film. The film is based on a book, which is written by a Pakistani author. The story has been adapted into a Mumbai backdrop.”
Saba, herself confirmed that the movie is not exactly like the book but an adaptation of it.
The trailer seems fun and entertaining and we can’t wait to find out how well the movie does once it is released.
