🧵: 🇵🇰 Non-Muslim Population [1901- Present]
I’ve been analyzing the Pakistan's population based on religion & wanted to present the findings in a visual format. This graph illustrates the changes in the Hindu population of Pakistan over the past century.

From 1901 to 1941, the percentage of Hindus population reduced from 17% to 13.4%
However, following the partition and subsequent migration to India, the Hindu population experienced a significant decline, reaching just 1.6% in 1951.

Post-partition, it remained somewhat the same, but over time, it showed some modest increase, reaching 2.15% in 2017. In terms of actual numbers, the Hindu population stood at 2.2 million in 1901, declined to 0.53 million in 1951, and then rose to 4.4 million in 2017.

Whereas, the Christian population has showed increase in initial census, then it remained the same in percentage-wise with some difference in decimals. In numbers, it was 32000 in 1901, and in 2017 it was 2.6M.

Here is the data of East Pakistan/Bengal. It has been decreasing since 1901 and reached to 18% from 33% in 60 years. One of the reasons of decrease is the partition.
