Publish books on Islam and non-violence: Hasan

New Delhi: Jamia Millia Islamia University Vice-Chancellor Mushirul Hasan on Thursday regretted that there were hardly any books written on Islam and non-violence.

“We have a room full of books written on Islam and violence but surprisingly we don’t have literature on Islam and non-violence,” he said while addressing a function here marking Gandhi Jayanti.

While talking about Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan who exemplified non-violence and led a peace movement among the ethnics in Afghanistan, Dr. Hasan wondered why very little has been written about him.
