These leftist revolutionary fetishists are having a field day, cherishing mob rule in the name of ‘revolution,’ ‘power back to the people,’ ‘dictator out,’ and ‘Second Liberation’ rhetoric due to Sheikh Hasina’s ousting from power in Bangladesh. In 1971, during the first liberation, Dhaka’s streets were plagued by lawlessness, and its soil was bloodied red with Hindu lives. Colloquially, this incident is known as the Bangladeshi Genocide, even though most of the victims of rape, brutality, and massacres were Hindu. Unfortunately, the current situation in 2024 doesn’t appear any different. A military coup has been staged in Bangladesh, and I hope that law and order prevail, shielding Bangladeshi Hindus from further tragedy.

From Ukraine - Russia, where thousands died due to their egoistic leaders; to the BRUTAL atrocities of RSF happening in Sudan; to the extreme child labour and mass r*ape being done and yet no coverage of it in Congo; to the ongoing genocide once again in Palestine where 8000 KIDS are already killed, prisoners are being sodomised with a hot metal rod, babies starved to death and jews being forcefully conscripted in IDF, 335 bullets found in a 6 year old Hind Rajab's body (alot more heinous things have been done)...; to the anti-immigrants and anti-muslim riots by far right in the United Kingdom....

To the massacre of Hindus in Bangladesh, with excuse of political turmoil. Temples destroyed, individuals attacked and killed, shops and houses vandalised etc etc.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS WORLD?

I read once in an article many years ago that one day, terrorism will rule the world. And this is what we see happening around us now.

People have really lost it. One simple rule - to live and let others live. We, as humans, are supposed to celebrate and accept diversity... not to see it as a burden and commit atrocities...

Sorry, but I felt an urge to rant out whatever I'm feeling...

Edit - What offends me the most is when people start doing whataboutsim... Please, a crime is a crime...Justifying it is ALSO a crime. Will it be justifiable if (God forbid) someone harms ur family member just because of their identity and that your community members did this too in ___ ___ day/year etc etc? Punishing someone innocent for someone else's crime is the shittiest nonsensical argument I've ever seen. An eye for an eye will turn the whole world blind. Periodt.

The Darkest Pujo- Note on the recent violence against the Hindus of Bangladesh

TW: graphic images

While we, on this side of the border, spent a joyous Dusshera and Durga Pujo, our brothers and sisters in Bangladesh spent days filled with terror.

What happened during Durga Pujo, 2021?

The trouble started from late-September when several Durga Protima (vigraha or image of Ma Durga) were vandalised by extremists in Chittagong, Dhaka and other places.

Then, the Durga pratima was prevented from being worshipped in the historic Shankhnidhi Puja Mantap. The Devi had to be worshipped on the streets and only after protests was a temporary space granted.

While further attacks on the pandals continued, Bangladeshi Hindus faced a far more vicious attack. At Comilla, a nasty rumour was spread that the Quran was desecrated in one of the pandals. Exploiting the rumour and using it as an excuse, the puja mantap at Comilla was savagely attacked with the images of the Gods being vandalised brutally. The Bangladeshi Hindu community had to guard their pandals and mantaps against such attack. The attacks were pre-planned and in some mandapas, bombs were recovered, indicating that the safety of the community was now endangered.

The worse was yet to come. The Bengali Hindus, like in 1947, were once again attacked in Naokhali. Reports indicate that at least 4 Hindus have been killed in the attack on them. One person's body was recovered from a pond in Naokhali. Several more have been injured.

The attacks are still continuing. Only yesterday, an ISKCON temple in Naokhali was attacked and the sculpture of Shri Prabhupada was disfigured.

It is worth mentioning that attacks and vandalism of Durga Mandapas are almost routine in Bangladesh during Pujo. It has been said that the Islamist extremist group, Jamaat-e-Islami are behind this violence. The Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami was a political party (has since been banned from contesting elections) which has the express goal of creating an Islamic state with Sharia law is implemented. The organization was responsible for the 2013 violence when more than 50 Hindu Temples were set on fire and more than a thousand Hindu businesses were torched. The leader of the organization has even asked for the expulsion of Hindus and other minorities of Bangladesh.

The worst part? The attacks on Hindus have not garnered the necessary international attention and condemnation that it should. It is unacceptable that the community is exposed to such grave danger for merely exercising their right to celebrate their festival.

While Sheikh Hasina has assured protection, the attacks continue and the PM has blamed the situation in India for the violence faced by Bangladeshi Hindus. This is an unacceptable answer and is tantamount to shirking from acknowledging the fanatic problem that Bangladesh suffers from. India's Ministry of External Affairs has expressed concerns about the violence but the appropriate action should be to notify the CAA rules and provide asylum to the community.

My heart goes out to the Bengali Hindu community has routinely suffered from religiously motivated hatred. The community has borne severe intergenerational trauma and yet, they remain firm in the worship of our Gods and Goddesses. The only fitting way in which the rest of us can help them is to acknowledge and pay attention to this burning issue.

Spread the word!

In solidarity!

May Durga protect all!

Understanding Anti-Hindu Sentiment: How Muslims and Ex-Muslims can support Hindu Communities

Anti-Hindu sentiment is about holding negative stereotypes about people or communities that practice Hinduism. A common type of anti-Hindu sentiment is based on religous views emerging from Islamist extremism where worshipping idol is seen as heresy. An example of anti-Hindu hate speech includes Islamist hate preachers invoking violence against Hindu community, places of Hindu worship such as temples and treating Hindu people as second-class citizens.

Violence against Hindu minorities is not an uncommon phenomena. In 2001, the Islamist extremist group Taliban adopted the same style of persecution against Afghan Hindus as Nazis did against Jews by requiring Afghan Hindus to wear badges. In 2013, a wave of violent attacks against the Hindu minority communities rocked Bangladesh that included robbing the possessions of Hindu households, vandalising temples and physically injuring them including the rape of at least one woman. In Pakistan, persistent anti-Hindu sentiment by hardline Islamist groups has led to an increased decline in the country’s Hindu population as many fled to save their lives.

One of this blog’s aim is to break this culture of hate speech and violence against Hindu minorities in Islam-dominated communities by encouraging Muslims and Ex-Muslims to stand in solidarity with the Hindu communities.

If you are a Muslim or an Ex-Muslim, there are several ways you can support the Hindu communities:

Understand the history and context behind Hindu faith. It’s the oldest religion in the world, and like other religions, has gone through reformations through the decades. There are contentious ancient texts about widow burning, caste while there are a treasure trove of literature and themes exploring topics such as consciousness, charity, etc.

If you know a Hindu neighbour who may have been affected by anti-Hindu prejudice, reach out to them with empathy and offer support should they need them.

If you are studying at a school or university, getting involved in multicultural activities such as Holi, Diwali or Durga Puja are fantastic ways to understand the beauty of Hindu culture.

If you see a Hindu person is being discriminated or being bullied, do not ignore it. If this is a situation of potential violence, call the police immediately. If you see anti-Hindu discrimination happeneing at a workplace, speak to your line manager.

If you want to understand or study the historical context of anti-Hindu sentiment, a simple desk research is a good place to start. You can also start here.

We plan to take more tailored and effective initiatives in future to help everyone with anti-Hindu hate speech, in the spirit of multiculturalism that binds us all together. If you have any idea on how we can better support the Hindu community in dealing with hate-speech and would want us to add to this blog post, you can directly contribution suggestions in the publicly editable version of the blog here.
