In another positive development the Punjab government has introduced new subjects for religious minorities.
These minorities will now not have to choose between Islamic studies and General ethics but can study their own religions.
This is a very positive step as it aims to include all the religious minorities. The subjects will be on Christianity, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism and more.
