The oldest Indus peoples buried were pacifist, traders who buried their dead and generally meat eaters. Hinduism came much later. Bani Israel is not a pejorative word, and comes from biblical reference “Israelites” (B’nei Yisrael). The Christian persecution is accurate and sad – but if you were paying attention the writer is trying to inform the World ( including you) that Pakistan is under passive-aggressive Hijack by a group of generals let by Bajwa and Munir who are ‘leading-from-behind’ a subornation of Democracy. Their predecessor General Zia instituted the Blasphemy laws that are used to persecute Christians. Most ills of Pakistani state can be traced back to machinations of Pinochets of Pakistan. Yet, the writer laments that Biden administration has cynically embraced these Pinochets in Pakistan – something the People in Pakistan see as double standards and morally questionable.
