The figure that I have got for Sindh is that 776000 Hindus left the province in 1947, and 1448100 Muslims took their place hence shifting the demographics there.

**Assumption: For computing the impact of partition on Sindh I have used the 1941 census is base, and removed 776000 non muslims and added 1448100 muslims there which reduces the population of non muslims to 10 % of the population and used that to compute the population in 1951. In Punjab I have used 1 % as the non muslim population as we know what happened there. I have left the proportion of non muslims in NWFP and Balochistan unchanged and see what impact it has had on the 1951 census. **

My friend, why do you keep going back to pre-1947 ? I have been giving you data from 1951 census which takes into account the cross border movement in 1947 but you are refusing to address that question and instead confusing things by talking about what happened in 1947.

Its a given that there was demographic shift in 1947, but by 1951 most of that had settled. Lets start our discussion from there instead of talking about 1947.
