i agreee!! i am pakistani christian and we chose to stay in pak for various good reasons. We are as 'nationalist' as any pakistani can be. I don't care we are christians, hindus or muslims living in pakistan! we are always together! and stand against our 'enemies' anytime!.

I dont know what the birth rate among Pakistani Hindus is, but I dont think its as high as the Muslims, you can understand why the Hindus have decreased in number...

It is very easy to come out with justifications. I wonder why Pakistani Hindus have a very low birth rate compared to the muslims. Maybe it is due to the water they drink and food they eat !!!
Poverty perhaps, higher death rates.. In the cities they are more well to do, and people who are well to due tend to have fewer kids.. I dont know, their are no stats.
But your claim that Pakistan has systematically caused Hindu numbers to decline is complete Bull Sh1t. You base your crap on nothing but your own prejudice.
Show me anything that proves your point? You have nothing.
So either provide something to back up your Bull or Shut up.
Again remember, it wasnt us who have idulged in MASS ethnic cleansing as India has done on more then one occasion.
Kalat still has a small but influential Hindu population, they control the wholesale trade of the area. There are also a few temples, one of which is said to be the 5th largest in the entire sub-continent. The majority of the Hindus that are living in Afghanistan and Balochistan are Seraiki and are originally from Southern Punjab and Northern Sindh. The rest are Sindhis. These Hindus have been living in this region for a few centuries and have managed to retain their native tongues and ethnicities. The Hindus of the frontier are actually Hindko. None of these hindus are ethnic Pashtuns or Balochis, however, since they have been settled in this region for such a lengthy period of time, they are considered no different than the natives.
And by the way, Kalat is not Balochi, it is actually Brahui.
