can anyone tell me what is the difference in wpf and silverlight, what features has been added and removed from wpf in order to get silverlight.

A:
First Silverlight is an implementation of the CLI just like MS.NET and Mono. That is SL owns a BCL and a Garbage Collector among other features while WPF is a library framework. SL provides a subset (an useful one) of the presentation capabilites that WPF offers and add a few things new like VisualStateManager.
you should check the online documentation, there is the complete list.
