The atrocity level on Hindu community in Bangladesh records a sharp increase in the last several years. The 2022 report released by Bangladesh Jatiya Hindu Mahajot on atrocities on minorities describe.
“Last week Ram Mandir was consecrated in Ayodhya-the birthplace of Lord Ram-in Uttar Pradesh in India. That caused great joy to Hindus across the world. Sadly, BBC reported that it was the site of the destruction of a mosque, forgetting that it had been a temple for more than 2,000 years before that, and that the Muslims had been allocated a five-acre site adjacent to the town on which to erect a mosque.”
British administrators tended to describe these conflicts as the product of religious fervor, while Indian newspapers often treated them as instances of nationalism.
Ironically the racist cartoon was published on International Women’s Day. Patel is the first ethnic minority woman to hold the office of the second most powerful cabinet post after the Prime Minister.
A textbook in the UK has attacked Hinduism and India. The book claims that Hindus turn to terrorism to defend faith and that apparently Hinduism justifies self-defence and that is the reason why India has nuclear weapons.
Hindus in Pakistan are a small minority, mostly in rural Sindh, facing socioeconomic challenges like landlessness and low-wage labor, as well as state-sponsored discrimination and religious extremism.
They face forced conversions, denial of supplies, attacks on properties, false blasphemy accusations, and abduction of women.
India’s Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 (CAA) offers expedited citizenship to persecuted minorities from Pakistan and other neighboring countries. However, the act has been maligned as discriminatory by anti-India forces.
