In Kashmir, virtually every literate person, Muslim or otherwise, knows how to read Urdu script.
I don't know if there's any data on Urdu literacy, but I suppose we could roughly estimate it by multiplying the number of primary Urdu speakers by the Muslim literacy rate.
58 million Urdu speakers * 60% literate = 34.8 million literate primary Urdu speakers in India
vs
11.5 million Urdu speakers * 54% literate = 6.2 million literate primary Urdu speakers in Pakistan
