"A letter I received from a Hindu leader in Sindh makes it clear that the condition of Hindus in Sindh is worrisome. There is a caste called Sanyogi in Sindh who were converted by force centuries ago, but they have retained their Hindu roots and customs. They want to become Hindu again, but their Hindu caste panchayats are not willing to accept them back. The organizations that want [sic] to get these people back into Hinduism face a stiff resistance from the Muslim organizations of Sindh, who are saying that such efforts will go against âHindu Muslim unityâ in the region. But the unity that tells only Hindus that they shouldnât propagate their religion even by talking about it, but we are free to spread our religion using force, you should not do âshuddhikaranâ but we will do âbhrashtikaranâ, is not unity. It is a division that must be fought."
