a question for Anubhav Singh

Submitted by concerned (Italy), Jul 22, 2006 at 09:27

Your comments attracted my attention about Hindu women having been forcibly converted to Islam, while Hindu men were killed in Pakistan.

So I actually have two or three questions! First of all, were you referring to recent Pakistani history, for example, after the partition of India in 1947, or were you referring to the more distant past?

Secondly, I'd like to know more about Hindu-Islamic relations in India prior to the creation of the two countries in 1947. Could you please send me some information on this topic, or direct me to some web-sites where I can do some research?

Thirdly, why is Kashmir so important to both countries? Please pardon my ignorance, but I think it's important to know. Thank you.
