The hindus and sikhs of punjab breeded almost as fast as muslims
More importantly, they got their widows remarried, through a tradition called Kalrewa
This still is operational in punjab, haryana etc
What this means is that any widow gets immediately remarried to the next available male on her dead husband's family
The hindus and sikhs did not out breed the muslims, but rather matched muslim breeding
Next, the british created a lot of irrigation canals and gave lots of lands to sikhs in
the area west of Lahore and a lot of sikhs migrated from east punjab to west punjab
Next the most important cause for the de-islamification of pakistan in the pre-partition times was the Arya Samaj, which did large scale shuddi even in muslim majority areas
But keep in mind, to solve the muslim problem, you have to do both reconversion as well as match muslim breeding
