To answer the question what happened to Hindus in pakistan, in 1947 when Islamic Pakistan came into existence, the Hindu population was about 25-30%. Within a few years, it came down to 2%. We are talking of tens of millions of people. If that is not Islamically inspired ethnic cleansing, what is? In Bangladesh also, the Hindu population in 1947 was about 30%. Not it is about 10% or less. The tragedies in Palestine, Bosnia or Chechniya pale into insignificance when compared to this. In Kashmir, where Pakistan backed Islamic terrorists are operating 100000 Hindus were driven out of Kashmir and they are still living in refugee camps. This happened in early 1990s.
