Satisfaction Level of Religious Minorities about Government Policies of Pakistan

Abstract

The overall objective of the study was to explore the level of provision of basic human rights to religious minorities living in the rural areas of Pakistan and to know about the satisfaction level of religious minorities about the availability of their fundamental human rights. For this purpose, one hundred and twenty households from the rural areas of Sheikhupura, which were representatives of the whole district's religious minorities, were selected by using the simple random sampling technique. The analysis of the data revealed that religious minorities are not represented in different sectors of life (for example, the employment sector) appropriately and adequately. On the basis of conducted analysis by using a statistical package of social sciences (SPSS), the religious minorities in the area of study were satisfied to the least extent by the government policies of Pakistan.
