Abstract

Pakistan is an Islamic state where majority of people is Muslim; however, the non-Muslim citizens are also inhabitants of the state. Islam provides the equal social rights to all citizens in an Islamic state without the discrimination of race, language, sex or religion. In oppose to it, the religious minorities of Islamic Republic of Pakistan have to face various problems in the society. The fundamental aspects of social issues faced by the religious minorities in Pakistan have been analyzed in this research. In this regard, the class aspect of religious division, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the status of its implementation in Pakistan, as well as the United Nations Charter for Minorities have been reviewed. Discrimination against minorities and the status of Pakistan's religious minorities in the light of two-nation ideology have also been discussed.
