Many historians like Koenrad Elst claim this. I however, find the claims absurd because of the lack of reliable sources and because I'd assume the actual population itself to be around that number, back in those days. (given the average world population in regions where it was documented) Another thing that raises questions to this claim is that, if so many Hindus were genocided, how do they have the lion's share of the current demographic in the country?

What's the consensus on this?
