[Tolo News] Afghanistan's once-thriving Sikh community is dwindling fast as many choose to leave the country of their birth to escape what they say is growing intolerance and discrimination.
Once boasting as many as 100,000 members in the 1990s, Afghanistan's Sikh population, according to community leaders, has dwindled to an estimated 2,500.
The reason for the exodus: endemic societal discrimination in the majority Moslem country and the illegal seizure of Sikh homes, businesses, houses of worship and even cemeteries. |
