While Pakistan might not be the safest and most nurturing environment for it’s hindu minority population, these two girls studying at the government school in Southern Punjab, prove otherwise. Kashaf is a muslim, Rani is Hindu and they are best friends.
The town of Ahmad Pur Sharkia located near Bahawalpur has an extensive hindu population. They are business owners, farmers and naturally their children study at the local schools. Due to their diversified population, this town practices much more religious tolerance than the rest of the country.
The teachers at the local government school to not discriminate. For them all the children regardless of their religion are equal. An environment like this fosters life long friendships which is exactly what Rani and Kashaf have. So if these 11 year old can do it, what can’t we?
