“We have not slaughtered Hindus for quite some time. Let’s do it now in Afghanistan.”

Zaid Hamid’s incendiary remarks on a Pakistani TV channel expose his rabid hatred for Hindus and India. His call for the merciless slaughter of “Hindu baniyas” and his historical reference of the Hindukush Mountains as a “killer of Hindus” reflect a deep-rooted bigotry. By glorifying historical violence and suggesting a repeat of such atrocities, Hamid not only promotes hatred but also legitimizes violence against Hindus.

Such rhetoric is not isolated. Pakistani intellectuals and media figures routinely engage in taunts, insults and provocative jibes against India and Hindus, fostering a culture of animosity. They exploit religious differences and historical narratives to incite hostility and deepen divides. This hateful discourse influences impressionable minds in Pakistan, fueling extremist ideologies and perpetuating cycles of violence and intolerance against Hindus.
