Washing clothes under the bridges of the city, cooking food in jhggi, these women belong to the most neglected community of Pakistan. are Call them Gypsy or Bagri, their lifestyle, food and culture is completely different from other communities living in Pakistan.
But when it comes to Muslim brotherly love, they look forward. In the month of Muharram, when Muslims mourn the martyrs of Karbala, then the Bagri community stands side by side. This community belonging to the Hindu religion presents an example of religious harmony by raising knowledge in their homes. The Bagri community living in Hussainabad area of Hyderabad organizes langar, niaz and sabils along with putting up knowledge in their homes every year during the months of Muharram.
Despite their sincerity and sincerity, the Bagri community is considered as low caste and beggars in the Pakistani society, on the contrary, nomads keep changing places and migrating, as well as feed their families and children with hard work. Despite hard work and toil for centuries, there has been no change in their conditions, their conditions are still the same today.
According to a survey, the education rate in the Bagri community is less than 10 percent due to unemployment and financial problems. According to Gypsies, people look at them with strange eyes because of their distinctive dress and language. If they go somewhere to work, the behavior of the people there is like that of untouchables. If they are reluctant to give food and drink utensils, in some places the utensils themselves are separated. The members of the Bagri community mostly farm, and in Sindh and Inner Sindh work for the zamindar or make a living by buying and selling fruits and vegetables and pulling carts. Those who saturate the gardens and fields of the landlords with their blood and sweat, they do not give them profit, but threaten them by taking loans from the poor. In many places, they are also subjected to sexual abuse, and in some places cases of forced conversion of religion also come to light.
These nomads do not receive any basic facilities from the government such as clean drinking water, medical facilities, or education. These people have been deprived of the basic facilities and rights of life. Senior Lachman Das, a resident of Hyderabad, says that there are many small nations in the world, but we feel inferior in society. No one to speak up for our community.
These people are Hindus, but in their hearts, there is great love for their countrymen belonging to other religions. Their lifestyle and culture are in accordance with the Hindu religion and they celebrate all their festivals with religious fervor but are equally concerned about the happiness and troubles of the Muslims living around them. Sorry, sorry! This most deprived section, loving Pakistanis, has been at the mercy of the government and philanthropists for education, employment and basic facilities of health and sanitation.
