This article talks about how in Pakistan the minorities are not respected, this article focuses more on Hinduism. It mentions that the Hindus have been persecuted for a long time, and that there have been violent outbursts where their religious books are burnt. It has been called to attention that the minorities are always forced to leave, and the authorities do not enforce the few or almost null laws that protect minorities. lawmaker Ramesh Kumar Wankwani in defines of these minorities has proposed the idea in the parliamentary committee, were people were shocked about how they had not noticed the discrimination. Some of the offences have been: kidnaping of women, and forced marriage once converting religions, and over six incidents in the last two months have destroyed religious places or objects. This has forced around 5000 hindu people to migrate. 

I can relate this to the French revolution, mostly to the september massacres and the reign of terror. In my opinion they are related because there were many executions and violent acts due to a persons beliefs, in the sense that they didn't support the revolution. We can see that at both times the people are afraid of being killed, or they might feel oppressed. We can see that in both situations the law doesn't really help them, or give them some sort of protection. The people in the French revolution probably didn't migrate since there was a huge economic crisis, therefore they couldn't migrate anywhere, along with the fact that it was extremely dangerous since it was in the middle of a war. Finding a new place to move to might have also been hard, so their only option would have been to turn to the authorities, yet they couldn't do that because the authorities were not in a suitable position to help. I believe that is why there was so much fear, because they had no options other than lay low or face the guillotine, but the hindus in pakistan have the voice to leave, apart from other possible solutions. We can see that discrimination has a large impact on people, and even more when it is violent. Hopefully as the world modernises so will its values until there comes a day were no one should have to be afraid or intimidated due to their beliefs.
