context_section_description: Before the partition of India in 1947, Hindus and Muslims constituted roughly 80% and 20% of Tharparkar's population, respectively. Post-partition, many Hindus, especially those of the upper castes and their servants, emigrated to India, while roughly 3,500 Muslim families immigrated to Tharparkar from India. The immigrating families were given 12 acres of land each (a total of 42,000 acres). In 1998, 59% of the district's population was Muslim and 41% Hindu. However, in some urban communities in Tharparkar, Hindus may be the majority. In Mithi, 80% of the population is Hindu, while in Islamkot, about 90% is. Tharparkar today has the largest Hindu population in Pakistan. As of November 2019, the 2017 census has not released its religious data.
