The
role of women is vital in the development of family, community, and society. Hindu
women in Pakistan are facing multiple obstacles in their daily life. This study analyses the attitudes towards poor Hindu women living in Karachi the capital of Sindh province,
many of whom do manual labour as members of the lower class es. This study not only
analyses the reli gious discrimination experienced by these women, through their own
words, but also looks at how this intersects with gender discrimination and economic
exclusion.
