## I. MINORITIES MALTREATMENT: HUMANITY UNDER SIEGE Where humanity's humiliation is evident, and the triumph of bigoted brutality prevails, isn't it? Persecution of minorities in all parts of the world by majorities is widespread to some degree. But the dimension, methods, and techniques of oppression are becoming increasingly cruel and inhuman toward minorities. The ways in which majorities adopt torture techniques against oppressed minorities are gruesome and ultimately hostile to humanity. But why does this kind of malicious, savage behavior occur toward minorities? It should be noted that minorities often lack even minimal socio-political and economic power. In their case, is there any privilege of accessing basic needs thoroughly? Minorities have no power or authority, so why do the powerful majority communities behave so brutally toward them? As usual, many questions arise in the minds of conscious observers regarding the majority's maltreatment of oppressed minorities. It is hoped that through these questions, it will be possible to uncover the root causes. ## II. WHO ARE MINORITIES? Minorities are those groups that do not have recognition in society or in the country socially, economically, or politically. Minorities are those who lack equal rights and civil rights. They are bereft of basic needs and life security, and deprivation extends from social needs to political and economic needs. ## III. HOW ARE MINORITIES BOUND BY THE MAJORITIES' OPPRESSION? Supreme power and predominance socially, politically, and economically rest in the hands of majorities. The social, political, and economic system is monopolized by majority communities. The majorities' system of social control operates authoritatively, leaving no scope for minorities to access their social needs and rights. Without a social base, is it possible to establish economic foundations? To participate in the political field, power and financial solvency are crucial, but minorities completely lack these. Consequently, minorities are trapped in a suffocating circle by majorities who adopt ruthless repression techniques that surpass humanity. In fact, understanding the reasons behind the oppression of minorities is crucial. The first fundamental aspect behind this oppression is ethnic conflict. The second is religious conflict. The final one is language conflict. ## IV. RELIGIOUS CONFLICT "Torture of the strong upon the weak," does any religion support this? Where each religion supports humanism, liberalism, and secularism, what does it hint at when the majority group's suppression of the minority group occurs? From century to century, era to era, decade to decade, minorities have been oppressed by religious majorities. The minorities are being bereft of all socio-economic-political privileges and rights. Not only of these rights and privileges, but also to break down the minorities' religious and ethnic backbone, the majorities' adopted discreet policy continues. Notably, in almost all parts of the world, the depiction and signs of oppression upon minorities are almost the same religiously. Whatever the majority's complicated shrewdness, its application in minority oppression reveals severe cruelty, which is the ultimate stage of human rights violation. ## V. WAYS MINORITIES ARE OPPRESSED BY MAJORITIES Firstly, the application of pressure is kept continuous by creating discrimination in the access to basic rights. Secondly, discriminatory behavior is attributed in obtaining social rights so that the social position of minorities can never be long-lasting. Due to the brittleness of their social position in society, they have no scope to play a social role, nor to provide social leadership. Minorities have less scope to be higher-educated. Even in getting a job, limitations are created. Furthermore, they have no rights to give opinions or to move freely. No right exists for them to get justice. As the full social control system is in the majority's hands, how can minorities be free from this suffocating social suppression? Third, economic discrimination, which is the main tool to make the minorities exploited. Their innovative economic discrimination strategies are too severe for the minorities' existence. The minorities' territory's infrastructural development, investment initiatives, communication and transport systems, the establishment of economic zones, and the expansion of employment-on the whole, no economic initiative is taken for the betterment of the minorities. Nothing stops here. Sometimes the dimension of torture reaches such a level that it goes beyond imagination: genocide, sexual abuse, forcible displacement, murder, and indiscriminate abolition. ## VI. WHY DO MAJORITIES MALTREAT ### MINORITIES? The first reason is the severe sectarian sense of the majority. The second is to occupy the resource-based territory where minorities are located. The last is the religious malice of the majority toward minorities. As a matter of fact, religious malice and sectarianism can only bring anarchy, war, and catastrophe instead of peace-from one religion to another, from one race to another. ## VII. CONCLUSION May humanity triumph. May inhumanity vanish.
