The remainder of India would be a home for non-Muslims.
Hindus, Sikhs, and adherents to other religions would be protected from most of the Muslims who were now in a separate nation. Pakistan now has 241.5 million Muslims and Bangladesh now has 169 million Muslims who have been removed from India and who cannot conveniently prey upon the non-Muslim citizens of India.The residual 14.2% Muslim population of India is now constitutes only about 172,245,158.<ref>{{URLwikipedia|Religion_in_India|Religion in India}}</ref>
