Manisha Ropeta Is Pakistan's First Hindu Woman DSP Appointed In Sindh Province

Manisha Ropeta is making heads turn not only because she is among the few female officers in authoritative positions in Sindh Police but also for the fact that the 26-year-old is the first woman from the minority Hindu community in Pakistan to become a Deputy Superintendent of Police.

In Pakistan's male dominated society and culture, it is difficult for women to join professions considered as “manly” such as the police force.
