Maybe it's because Moslems don't consider Hindus to be
"People of the Book" (the Bible) and are told by their religious
leaders that they will go to Islamic heaven if they kill them.

>>>Elisabeth Bumiller's book "May you be the mother of a hundred sons" is
good place to start. Also if you find it in a library "Mother India" by
Katherine Mayo. The Mayo book will spend eternity on the top of Indian's
most hated book list - and while she may have underlying class and
racial bias - the book reads like the TRUTH. Good Luck.
