[Dawn] TENSIONS soared in the town of Pangrio in Badin last week after some local Musselmen residents objected to the burial of a Hindu man in a Musselmen graveyard. After broadcasting warnings from the loudspeakers of the local mosque, a crowd dug up the body and dumped it outside the graveyard for the family to claim. The episode had all the gruesome aspects of mob justice, with the added perversity that the victim was already a corpse.This is the latest incident in an expanding picture of extremism in Sindh. Earlier this year, the custodian of the Dargah Hussainabad near Jacobabad escaped a kaboom, which sparked Barelvi-Deobandi tensions. A later bombing claimed three lives at Ghulam Shah Ghazi's shrine near Shikarpur. In 2011, a shrine in Mirpurkhas was also attacked and burned.
According to the Pakistain Hindu Council (PHC), the kidnapping, forced conversions, and forced marriages of Hindus are also on the rise -- up to 20 kidnapping cases are reported each month to the Hindu Council in Bloody Karachi
