With due respect, this is utter nonsense. Pakistani officials conspired to murder and genocide Hindus and Sikhs out. The Hindu and Sikh population of West Pakistan in the 1941 census was 5.3 million out of a total population of 23.3 million people.
It broke down as follows:
…. West Punjab 3.6 million out of 14.8 million total
…. Sindh 1.3 million out of 4.5 million total
…. Balochistan 73 thousand out of 856 thousand total
…. NWFP 250 thousand out of 3 million total
The 1941 census was the last one done by the British and is accurate. Pakistan ran the 1951 census onwards and faced severe accusations of undercounting Hindus and Sikhs in the 1951, 1961 and 1972 counts.
So, please spare us this nonsense about India and Pakistani relations were not poisoned. They absolutely were.
