Hindu Human Rights

[G.Subramaniam]

An attempt to estimate the hindu casualties during the sultanate
-----

*Andre Wink notes the sudden slowdown of Indian population growth
from 1171 - 1571
The worldwide growth rate during this period was 0.3% per year
In India the growth rate was 0.1% per year during this period

There are 4 main causes
Famine
War
Migration
Pestilence

Andre Wink notes that the bubonic plague did not strike India
he also notes that small pox while prevalent in India , Indians had a primitive form of vaccination against small pox
he puts the discrepancy due to malaria etc

As we go through this
In the pre-british period, famines happened only once in 50 years
Next the native population had been in India for several thousand years and certainly would have developed immunity
so pestilence is not a factor

So we now are left with 2 other factors
Migration and Wars

It is well documented that large numbers of hindu slaves were deported
It is also well documented that large numbers of hindus were killed by the muslims

Per Andre Wink,
In 1171, south Asia pop = 102 mil
In 1571, south asia pop = 155 mil
( annual growth rate of 0.1% )

1571, normal expected south asia pop = 102 x ( 1.003^400) = 331 million

Hindus killed / deported = 331 mil - 155 mil = 176 mil

-----

So about 53% of hindus were killed during sultanate
By comparison, Hitler killed 35% of jews
---

A nuclear war with pakistan will kill only 30 million or 4% of hindus
