Hindu's in Pakistan are a very protected community. I don't know the official figure, but I think that there are as many as half a million.

We have a Hindu family in my block in Karachi, very friendly people.
They always bring us sweets whenever they celibrate a hindu festivity.
But I've noticed that they don't talk much about their religion easily and there kids have semi muslim names, maybe just out of precaution.
