The sudden discussion regarding Sindh province of Pakistan has created a new stir in India-Pakistan relations. A series of questions have arisen after the statement of Home Minister Rajnath Singh in which he expressed the possibility of Sindh joining India in future. But if this area actually becomes a part of India, then how will the mathematics of the country’s population change? And the biggest question is that how many Hindus live in Sindh?
What is the number of Hindus in Sindh?
According to the 2023 census of Pakistan, there are approximately 52 lakh Hindus living in the country. The surprising thing is that out of these, about 49 lakh Hindus live in Sindh province alone, that is, about 95% of the total Hindu community of Pakistan is concentrated here. This is the same region whose roots are linked to India’s ancient Indus civilization, cultural traditions and historical heritage.

According to the data of 2023, the total population of Sindh is about 5.57 crores. Hindus constitute 8.8% of it, while in rural areas this number increases to 13.3%, which is the highest in the whole of Pakistan. There are four districts of Sindh where the Hindu population is most concentrated-
- Umarkot
- Tharparkar
- Mirpurkhas
- Collection
Together, about 25 lakh Hindus live in these districts. The biggest thing is that Umerkot is the only district where Hindu population is more than Muslims, here the share of Hindus reaches about 55%.
What will change if Sindh joins India?
Although this is just a political statement, but if we imagine that Sindh becomes a part of India, then changes will be seen at many levels. The total population of Sindh is 5.57 crore. That means, suddenly about 5.5 crore people will be added to the existing population of India. Talking about Hindu population, there are currently about 82 crore Hindus in India. If Sindh joins, 49 lakh more Hindus will join, which is a big figure from the point of view of growth.
