Sindh to Provide Hindu Religious Textbooks to Minority Students in Government Schools

Sindh province in Pakistan will provide Hindu students in government schools with religious textbooks for classes three to five starting the new academic session. The Sindh Education and Literacy Department initiated this move to promote inclusivity and reduce social intolerance against religious minorities. The Prem Sagar Sanstha, a Hindu welfare organization, is funding the books. This follows approval by the Sindh Curriculum Council and aligns with federal efforts to publish religious texts for minority groups, though their inclusion in curricula remains limited.
