Karachi was majority hindu city:), this was new to me, Sindhis are still one of the richest communities in India,Maata Lakshi ki special kripa hai in per, though it his consider that sindhi hindus are most unethical in bussiness dealing:)

As per the 1941 census, out of total 380,000 population of the Karachi 50% constitutes Hindus as compared to 40% Muslims. Christian were 4.5% of the total population of Karachi, where as Sikhs & Parsis were 1.5% & 1% of total population respectively.

In April 1947, then Education & Local Government Minister - Pir Ilahi Bux ( Father of current Minster of Education, Sindh - Pir Mazhar ul Haque) said in a his sppech at Jackobabad Sindh, " Sindhi Hindus has to fight fourth war of Pani Pat with Muslims and that war will prove to be waterloo for Hindus’.

This behavior of the so called Muslim leaders agitated the communities and the situation became worst till January 1948, leading to First curfew of Karachi on January 6, 1948 and finally migration of majority Hindus from Karachi and all over Sindh.
