Another new convert Khan Muhammad, 45, said that no one in his family had converted to Islam. It is commonly believed that these people convert as they are unable to pay the debts they owe to their landlords. As the debts keep mounting, the landlords exploit them and force them to work on their lands as bonded labour. He admitted that he owed Rs60,000 in debt and the seminary had paid it off.
Bait-us-Salam patron Haji Bashir Kambho said that they had paid Rs311,000 for the seven families on Saturday.
It is saddens me to see people converting for money (In this case there might have been some social pressure too). Not that it not does happen in India. A lot of Indian Hindus convert to Christianity for the same reason. Also I have seen such conversions happen only among the Hindus. Maybe we have not been thought to respect our faith. Hope the Pakistani Hindu community does something to arrest this trend.
