truth about anti-Hindu riots in then East Pakistan
by iq on Sep 27, 2005 09:17 PM   Permalink

it seems Mr Raman is not correctly informed about the anti-Hindu riots in then East Pakistan in 1960s

The problem happend after Riots in calcutta
The Hindu-Muslim riots proved to be a major setback in India's 16 year struggle to establish and maintain a secular state with freedom and equality for all religions.
It was the first incident of religious violence since 1950.

The clashes erupted in January 1964 after the disappearance of a precious relic from a mosque in Srinagar, which was the capital of the Indian-held area of the disputed state of Jammu and Kashmir at the time.

As a result anti-Hindu riots broke out in east Pakistan and 29 people were killed.
