The Human Development Index of Tharparkar district is the worst in the entire Sindh province. The condition of infrastructure, health facilities and education system is in a state of disarray. In the last few years, the food and water crisis in the district worsened. Despite all these challenges, Rahul Dev has set an example for many people like him.

Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan announced during the 2018 election that he would protect the civil, social and religious rights of minorities. However, nothing changed even after Imran Khan came to power. Minorities in Pakistan did not get the rights and respect they should have. Recently, the minority community accused the Sindh administration of discriminating on religious grounds. People of Hindu and Christian community had complained that Sindh administration refused to supply them ration and food grains.
