- Abstract:
India has lived through some months of unparalleled Hindu-Moslem conflict. First came the extensive riots in Calcutta in the middle of August, in which it is estimated 5,000 people were killed and about three times that number injured. The riots synchronized significantly with "Direct Action Day," observed by the Moslem League throughout India. The Hindu and Sikh retaliation during the late stages of the riots caused an unexpectedly large number of Moslem casualties. The campaign of hatred and violence then spread to the remote districts of East Bengal, where the Hindus form a small minority of the population.
