Wonder why no one likes to talk about what happened to the Hindu population in Pakistan since partition.
>Prior to 1947, Hindus constituted between 14% to 23% of the population of what is now Pakistan, that is more than the current percentage of Muslims in India. Cities like Karachi (about 50%) and Lahore (roughly 30%) had sizeable number of Hindus. Today, as per the 1998 census, Hindus comprise a mere 1.6%.
Meanwhile the Muslim population in India has grown as a percentage.
