Some of the earliest converts to Sikhism settled in Afghanistan 500 years ago, with an increased migration of them to the region during Partition of the Indian subcontinent, as many feared religious persecution in the newly created Pakistan.
On Monday, March 13, Delhi’s Karkardooma court convicted nine persons involved in the 2020 anti-Hindu Delhi riots. The court noted that the main objective of the convicts who joined the unruly mob guided by ‘communal feelings’ was to cause ‘maximum damage’ to the properties belonging to the people of the Hindu community.
akistan supporters instigated Indians by disrespecting the Tricolour, which led to a confrontation. Fake news of Hindus attacking a mosque and kidnapping a Muslim girl were spread on social media to mobilise rioters, many of whom travelled all the way from Birmingham to partake in the violence.
Attacks on the Hindu temples continue in Bangladesh. Now, five Hindu temples came under attack in one night. After the complaint, the Police are investigating. As of now, the Police couldn’t arrest anyone.
The annual report of atrocities on minorities in Bangladesh said that about 319 families and temples were looted while 173 businesses were vandalised in 2022.
The voices of atrocities against the religious minorities, especially Hindus in Bangladesh are being heard loud in Dhaka. In a latest testament to that over 154 religious minorities, including Hindus, were killed in the country in 2022.
