During the time of India’s independence, Jammu and Kashmir had a large population of _____ .

Hindu
Sikh
Muslim
Christian

The correct answer is C. Muslim.

According to the 1941 census, the population of Jammu and Kashmir was 4,017,796, of which 77.16% were Muslims, 15.36% were Hindus, 7.41% were Sikhs, and 0.07% were Christians.

The Muslim majority in Jammu and Kashmir has been a source of conflict between India and Pakistan since the partition of India in 1947. Pakistan claims that Jammu and Kashmir is a Muslim-majority state and should be part of Pakistan. India, on the other hand, claims that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India.

The conflict over Jammu and Kashmir has led to several wars between India and Pakistan. The most recent war was the Kargil War of 1999. The conflict has also led to a large number of casualties and displacement of people.

The status of Jammu and Kashmir is still disputed. India and Pakistan have held several rounds of talks to resolve the dispute, but so far no agreement has been reached.
