Whenever someone from a minority community makes it big, Mohammad Ali Jinnah’s quote comes to mind.
You are free; you are free to go to your temples. You are free to go to your mosques or to any other places of worship in this State of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion, caste or creed—that has nothing to do with the business of the state.
Hailing from Tharparkar, Rahul Dev has created history by becoming the first Hindu to join the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) as a General Duty Pilot (GDP). He has not just made a name for himself and his community, he has set an example for other minorities as well.

It is worth mentioning that landing a GDP job is one of the toughest tasks in the country.
