The study, ‘Index of Religious Diversity and Inclusion’ makes an additional point that is often overlooked: there is more than one minority, and the various minorities face varied problems, which are not amenable to a one-size-fits-all solution. The report provides support to those who feel that while the minorities and the government need to take action, it is the Muslim majority that not only bears responsibility for the treatment of minorities, but also has to carry out the greatest changes in attitude among its members. It is true that the minorities in Pakistan are better off than they are in India. The Muslim minority in India is being massacred? Muslims happen to belong to a religion which has not just enjoined tolerance of other religions, but dignified treatment of minorities.
