#1 Jammu and Kashmir state: 64% Muslim, 33% Hindu, and 3% Buddhist, Sikh, Christian.

Kashmir is comprised of three distinct regions: Ladakh (58% of the area / 3% of the population / mainly Buddhist), Jammu (26% area / 45% population / mainly Hindu) and Kashmir (16% area / 52% population/ mainly Muslim).

The Shia Muslims (13%) support India. The nomadic Muslim tribes (14%) support India. The secular Sunni Muslims support India.

The support for secession in Jammu & Kashmir is actually limited to the non-pastoral Sunni Muslim population of the Kashmir Valley (22% of the state's population)

Thousands of demonstrators took to the streets in Budgam and other towns, chanting anti-America slogans.

An angry mob has set fire to a Protestant-run school.
