Let me bust this myth that once upon a time people of Panjab and Sindh were 'Hindus' in large numbers.
Lets look at Hinduism.
Hindus have multiple statues of their gods , these are in the form of monkey ( Hanuman ) in the form of Elephant ( Ganesh ) and many others with some having multiple limbs and some in the form of a snake etc etc.
They make large number of these statues; big and small and of all sizes.
Now my question is WHERE in Pakistan have excavations revealed statues of monkey form Hanuman, elephant form Ganesh or Kali or Shiva and so many more , WHERE ?
You sure 'bout that?
How about this little website (thanks to University of Pennsylvania) dedicated to the Salt Range temples in Pakistan?

Yes my friend. Very orthodox Hindu temples - Shiva, Vishnu et al.
Lots of other similar archaeological sites exist in Pakistan of course, but you would naturally choose to ignore them
Answer is that NOWHERE in Pakistan have ANY artefacts been found that resemble these forms.
ORLY?
From the same university website:
The Discovery of Siva-Mahesvara Figure at Kafirkot." Lahore Museum Bulletin 9/2 (1996) [1998]: 51-56.
Perhaps you should pay a visit to the Lahore museum
a. There never existed in the land that is Pakistan the kind of Hinduism that is there in India.
b. If it did exist at some time, all traces of it were wiped out so extensively that noting that is there today relates to it not even any ruins.
Make up your mind m'dear. Did Hinduism exist or was it wiped out? You can't have it both ways you know
In any case, orthodox Hinduism DID exist in Pakistan with all the major deities - Shiva, Vishnu, Surya, etc. etc. being worshiped. Deal with it buddy!
