However if there are any mistakes, please bring them out in the comments. I have been updating this post from time to time, nearly a decade now, and I am happy to state that most of the details here are correct. My creative input in this post is limited at best. This is just a compilation of facts collected from various sources. I was also forced to contemplate upon the issue of conversions to Islam, vis-a-vis the rigidity of caste barriers within Hinduism. I am a Hindu and the spin put on this subject intrigued me. I was driven to compile this data after repeated controversies began to occur on the issue of inter-faith marriages. Majority of these people belong to entertainment industry, but a good many do not. Notwithstanding, many such marriages have regularly taken place with mutual consent in India in Modern times. As shown in the film JODHA AKBAR, a marriage between a Hindu and a Muslim still evokes extreme reactions in India.
