Pak Hindu International Parliament of Human Rights (PHIPHR)

An HSF Initiative for Pakistan's Persecuted Minorities

The Pak Hindu International Parliament of Human Rights is a global humanitarian and human rights forum initiated by Hindu Samman Foundation (HSF). Its mission is to represent the persecuted religious minorities of Pakistan — Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, and other vulnerable communities — in a lawful, peaceful, and fearless manner before the world.

This Parliament has been conceived from the ground realities of displacement, violence, demographic erosion, forced conversions, economic exclusion, and institutional neglect that Pakistan’s minorities have faced for decades.

It is not symbolic, ceremonial, or political. It is not a protest platform. It is a structured international forum created to transform suffering into documented evidence, silence into global voice, and despair into strategic action.

Why This Parliament Is Necessary

For decades, the persecution of Pakistan’s minorities has remained under-documented, poorly represented, and internationally ignored. While atrocities have continued, the victims themselves were never empowered to speak as a consolidated body.

The Reality for Minorities:
  • Forced conversions and marriages
  • Targeted violence and social boycotts
  • Economic exclusion & land dispossession
  • Blasphemy-related threats
  • Complete absence of representation
The Solution (PHIPHR):

If minorities are to be secured inside Pakistan, their leadership must be empowered globally. No external intervention works unless the community is:

  • Organised
  • Articulate
  • Legally trained
  • Internationally visible

Who This Parliament Represents

The Pak Hindu International Parliament of Human Rights represents recognized refugee and community leaders from:

  • Hindu Communities: Bagdi, Bheel, Maharaj, Meghwal, Oad, Sindhis, Rajput, Mali, Kukdi
  • Sikh Minorities
  • Buddhist Minorities
  • Other vulnerable ethnic minorities

Each representative speaks based on lived experience, ground documentation, and collective mandate — not individual activism.

Why International – Not National?

Persecution of minorities in Pakistan is not an internal matter; it is a global human rights issue. Keeping this Parliament international is a strategic decision because:

  • Victims inside Pakistan cannot speak freely.
  • National mechanisms have repeatedly failed minorities.
  • Global awareness forces accountability faster than closed-door diplomacy.

This Parliament speaks to the world first, so that justice can follow everywhere else. A global spotlight accelerates accountability.

Core Objectives

1. Global Representation Presenting voices to international human rights bodies, global civil society, and policy influencers.
2. Systematic Documentation Documenting atrocities through survivor testimonies, legal records, and community data.
3. Policy Advocacy Pushing for minority protection frameworks, safe migration, and legal identity policies.
4. Leadership Development Training disciplined minority leaders who speak without fear and advocate without extremism.

From Ground Reality to Global Platform

The Parliament is being constructed in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, in the heart of refugee settlements.

It is not a grand building. It is a simple hut-room.

This creates a powerful symbol: The global human rights voice of Pakistan’s minorities is rising from the ground, not from power corridors. From huts of displacement emerges a platform of dignity.

Proven Impact: People’s Power in Action

Recent Success: Due to sustained exposure and global attention generated by HSF’s work, Pakistan recently convened a Joint Parliamentary Session and passed the Minority Rights Bill, 2025. This validates that when victims speak with unity, institutions are forced to respond.

How You Can Support This Mission

Securing persecuted minorities requires more than sympathy. It requires structure, courage, and sustained commitment. The Pak Hindu International Parliament of Human Rights is that structure.
