I’ve been doing some calculations and have come to an interesting conclusion.

Today the sub-continent is generally 3 countries Bangladesh, India and Pakistan and I was looking at the figures by percentage of Muslims and Hindus.

If we believe the stats then there are about:

178M Muslims - Pakistan (95%)
3.8M Hindus - Pakistan (2%)

154.8M Muslims - India (13.4%)
9,300M Hindus - India (80.5%)

145.2M Muslims - Bangladesh (89.5%)
14.6M Hindus - Bangladesh (9%)

Looking at India the ratio of Hindus : Muslims = 6 i.e. there are 6 times the number of Hindus to Muslims in India. Assume the partitions did not take place if we add the total number of Muslims in the subcontinent and Hindus in the subcontinent the proportions are quite a bit different.

Muslims = 478/1505 = 32%
Hindus = 948.4/1505 = 63%

Now we see that the ratio Hindus : Muslims = 2 … i.e. over the whole subcontinent there are twice as many Hindus as Muslims. This is an amazing number … We now know that 32% in terms of democracy is a number that is quite influential … it is not to say that all 32% will be aligned … but for sure we are more powerful as a single unit.

In fact when we were told to stick together as a jamma’ why did we not listen to this vital advice?

I don’t think the number matters.. What muslims need is to increase their intellectual/economic contribution which can only be done with increased education and hard work. Already there are more than 1.5 billion muslims in the world with highest population growth due to high birth rate, with a very little intellectual, scientific, economic contribution..

I think we should give up the idea of sticking together to sub due other communities.. and think seriously about co existing.. and improving our own situation. This conquering the world global agenda has harmed muslim community more than anything else..
