However, this is not the first time Hindu community individuals made a name in Pakistan. In January 2018, Suman Pawan Bodani, hailing from hails from Shahdadkot area in Sindh, became Pakistan’s female judge after ranking 54th in the merit list for the appointment of civil judge/judicial magistrate.
