Re: Split of Population by Religion - India and Pakistan (On Hindsight)
Numbers alone are not everything. Shia Arabs were 60% of Iraq but were almost powerless there, while Jews are about 2% of American population and still so influential.
Point is that majority of those 33% Muslims would have been in less developed areas if Pakistan and Bangladesh were not formed. Plus there vote would almost absolutely have been divided, so 33% is only the best case scenario.
Muslims should be thankful that Pakistan came into being. Had landlords not eliminated the leadership of original Muslim League, Pakistan would have been in much better shape than today.
