Subject: PAKISTANI HINDUS CONVERTING FOR MATERIAL BENEFITS
MATLI, SINDH PROVINCE, PAKISTAN, January 21, 2012 (Express Tribune):
Money, jobs and a debt-free life: It sounds like a sweet deal for
many of the Hindu laborers in Matli, but it comes with strings attached -- convert to Islam.
Hundreds of Hindus in the area have converted to Islam in the past few years,
courtesy seminaries, mosques and self-styled preachers. Switching religions
comes with an upgrade in social status and material benefits -
Hindu converts said they could easily get Watan Cards and
National Identification Cards, aid, and were given land and assistance
by the organisation helpfully walking them over to the other side.
With new Muslim names and a vow to adopt religious rites,
they are only hoping that someone will be impressed enough to
offer them land and social security.
These desires have been fulfilled at the Madrassa Baitul Islam,
a Deobandi seminary in Matli which meticulously maintains a log
of the conversions. The first entry is dated November 1, 2009.
The most recent is December 22, 2011, when they converted the 428th Hindu to Islam.
The seminary - which has received kudos from religious-political parties
including the banned Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan and is affiliated with
the Darul Uloom in Karachi - also pays off the debts of Hindus converting to Islam.
Based on the entries in its records, this can range from a few thousand rupees to
over Rs50,000.
A newly converted family is given Rs5,000 as well as a copy of the Holy Quran,
and housing for three to four months. During this time, they are given
a religious education and taught how to live their life according to the Islamic code.
There is an on-call doctor and a hospital on the premises and an
ambulance is available to move serious patients.
Another seminary in the city educates female converts.
