Abstract
State of human rights has never been satisfactory across provinces, particularly in politically unstable province of Balochistan. The situation severely worsens when it comes to religious minorities. A good number of Christians, Hindus, Parsis, Baha’is, Sikh and others have been residing in the province before existence of Pakistan. Their role and contribution on various fields of life has been tremendous, particularly in the field of health and education sectors. However, due to unabated discriminatory policies and indifferent behavior of the successive government combined with the on-going horrifying waves of extremism and terrorism, it is now far difficult for minorities to earn a respected life. Mass migration of minorities has now become a common phenomenon. This research study is a preliminary effort towards studying perception of people belonging to various strata of religious minorities. 120 respondents as sample were surveyed, the collected data was analyzed which followed by suggestions of doable actions to improve the present situation.
