Always wanted to know
In 1947, Hindus constituted 12.9% of Pakistan, which made Pakistan (including present day Bangladesh) the second-largest Hindu-population country after India.
In the 1951 census, West Pakistan (now Pakistan) had 1.6% Hindu population, while East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) had 22.05%.
Census data for 1998 shows that the Hindu population of Pakistan (which was formerly west Pakistan) had not really changed significantly from its 1951 level of around 1.5 to 2%.
But the data also suggests that the Hindu population of Bangladesh did fall - from around 22% or 23% in 1951 to around 8% in 2011.
Since you are always debating on the status of Muslims in India, can you enlighten me, on where the Minorities in Pakistan (both East & West) went
