Members may be interested in the following article:
Smita Narula, "Overlooked Danger: The Security and Rights Implications of Hindu Nationalism in India," 16 Harvard Human Rights Journal 41 (Spring 2003).
At one point in the article, the author suggests an interrelationship between violence against Hindus in Bengaladesh and Pakistan and violence against Muslims in India:
"The promotion of Hindu nationalism as a legitimate political and cultural force has consequences beyond its impact on the lives of India's lower castes and religious minorities. Attacks on Muslims in India have their corresponding effect on Hindus in Bangladesh and Pakistan. Similarly, atrocities against Hindus in Bangladesh and Pakistan-supported militancy in Kashmir are often cited as justifications for the persecution of Muslims in India. As the religious right gains significant footholds in electoral politics in Bangladesh and Pakistan, attacks on religious minorities in those countries have also reached alarming proportions." - Narula, 42.
