Editing Hijab (section)

===Unofficial pressure to wear hijab===

In [[Srinagar]], the capital of the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, a previously unknown militant group calling itself [[Lashkar-e-Jabbar]] claimed responsibility for a series of acid attacks on women who did not wear the [[burqa]] in 2001, threatening to punish women who do not adhere to their vision of Islamic dress. Women of Kashmir, most of whom are not fully veiled, defied the warning, and the attacks were condemned by prominent militant and separatist groups of the region.<ref>{{cite news | last = Popham | first = Peter (in Delhi) | url = https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/kashmir-women-face-threat-of-acid-attacks-from-militants-9153249.html | title = Kashmir women face threat of acid attacks from militants | newspaper = The Independent | date = 30 August 2001 | access-date = 20 April 2013 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160828023043/http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/kashmir-women-face-threat-of-acid-attacks-from-militants-9153249.html | archive-date = 28 August 2016 | url-status = live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/1484145.stm |title=Kashmir women face acid attacks |publisher=BBC News |date=10 August 2001 |access-date=20 April 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130131201121/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/1484145.stm |archive-date=31 January 2013 |url-status=live}}</ref>
