For Minority Hindus of Bangladesh, It’s A Life of Non-Citizen Without Human Rights

ABP News  

The oppression, victimisation and instilling of fear among the minority Hindus in Bangladesh continue unabated, with the government, rights organisations and international bodies turning a Nelson’s eye to them. Bangladesh's Hindus face a constant onslaught of government tolerated murder, rape, abduction, forced conversion, land grabs, and more, including a 2009 pogrom that took place right behind a Dhaka police station,” writes Richard L Benkin in his book, A Quiet Case of Ethnic Cleansing: The Murder of Bangladesh's Hindus. According to the Bangladesh International Arbitration Centre, “Muslims have committed crimes against more than 3,000 Hindus in Bangladesh in the last nine years and not a single criminal has been brought to book.” The response of the international community towards ethnic cleansing in Bangladesh has been rather disappointing. We call on Twitter to clarify the reason on why @IskconBDH and @unitycouncilBD are currently unavailable: Yudhistir Govinda Das, ISKCON Communications — ISKCON October 19, 2021 Home to “Biswa Ijtema”, the world’s largest Muslim congregation after Haj, Bangladesh has allowed proliferation of hardline form of the state religion that takes pride in its ruthless vengeance against the minorities including Buddhists and others.
