When you look at the cited source it shows percentage figures for "Hindu (Jati)" and "Scheduled Castes", and when I added them together it gave the percentage of Hindus in the above table. The source did not give the "Percentage of total Hindus in that province". It is possible to estimate the latter number using the census data in Population by Province/Region Since 1951. The numbers are about the same as given in the table above. Is the best thing to do to add the second source and explain that the latter figure was calculated. It is a routine calculation, which is permitted (see WP:CALC).-- Toddy1 (talk) 07:48, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
- This source gives actual numbers that can calculate the percentages.
