Hindus in Bangladesh

Recent violence against Hindus in Bangladesh has escalated following the ouster of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, leading to widespread protests globally, including in the US and UK, and severe unrest within Bangladesh itself. The CPI(M) Politburo and various organizations have condemned the attacks, urging both the Indian and Bangladeshi governments to take action to protect the Hindu minority, who have faced killings, vandalism of temples, and looting of businesses. Protests organized by the Global Voice for Bangladesh Minorities have drawn significant attention, highlighting the plight of Hindus and calling for justice. Videos of the violence, including the destruction of temples, have circulated widely, exacerbating concerns in the Indian diaspora and prompting demonstrations against the atrocities. Notably, prominent figures, including Sadhguru and Indian-American congressmen, have voiced their concerns, emphasizing the need for international intervention to ensure the safety of Hindus in Bangladesh. The situation reflects a growing trend of religious intolerance, threatening the existence and safety of Hindu communities in the region.
