Bangladesh anti-Hindu violence

Several social media handles which have a shoddy timeline which apparently matches with bot accounts, are fueling anti-India and anti-Hindu propaganda.

Speaking to OpIndia, Dipan Mitra, the Secretary General of the World Hindu Federation (WHF) – Bangladesh Chapter said that the situation of Hindus is getting worse day by day. Giving a rough estimate, Mitra told us that more than 4 Hindu people Haradhan Roy, Kajal Roy, Mrinal Kanti Chatterjee and one unidentified have been killed, 51 Hindu temples vandalised and around 240 Hindu houses have been attacked.

The violence in Bangladesh after the fall of Sheikh Hasina has been unrelenting, especially against the Hindu minority of the Islamic nation.

Amid the turmoil, a video depicting Islamists breaking new benchmarks for savagery and hatred towards Hindus in Bangladesh has gone viral.

Pakistan-linked Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) Bangladesh has been running havoc on the streets after the violent ouster of Sheikh Hasina and terrorising minority communities, particularly, Hindus. 

There were 3,000 musical instruments in the house of Rahul Ananda that were burnt by Islamist mob. The instruments were made and collected by Ananda over the years and were irreplaceable.

The centre was formally inaugurated in March 2010 and plays a crucial role in fostering cultural ties between India and Bangladesh.

Apart from terror activities, Jamaat-e-Islami has been fueling and attempting to mainstream radicalism and extremism in India.

Videos of targeted attacks against Hindus in Bangladesh have emerged online, painting a bleak picture of what minorities are subjected to by Islamist rioters.

In March 1997, Khaleda Zia had expressed open support for insurgents in India's North East by labelling them as 'freedom fighters.'
