Whether the muslims of Pakistan have benefitted or not from the partition of sub-continent has often been discussed before.
But i feel that shia muslims of Pakistan have suffered a lot since the 1980s. Until a few years ago it was atleast debateable whether shias are safer in india or in Pakistan, but in today's scenario there is no doubt about the fact that shias are probably better off in india than Pakistan.
Shia muslims like the rest of muslims in india do have to put up with persecution by hindus but their plight in Pakistan is even worse. In places like Karachi alone, around 70 shia doctors have been victims of target killings since the 1990s. Thousands of Hazaras in quetta have been killed. Every year 500+ shias are killed across Pakistan since the 1990s, and the state has done very little to protect them.
In india, thousands of muslims were massacred in Gujarat in 2002 and it was state-sanctioned. But unlike the shias of pakistan, there are no target killings of muslims (of any sect) happening in india.
