Bangladesh witnessing steep rise in persecution of Hindus

The BBC: A dark, sordid history of tainted reporting at the expense of taxpayer money. For a while now, many citizens and several leaders of the United Kingdom (UK) have been questioning the heavily biased and blatantly “motivated” reporting of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).
According to analysis by the Hindu American Foundation, there have been two significant spikes (post September 11 and post 2014) in hatred against Hindus in the West.
The global media plays a prominent role in the spread of Hinduphobia and Bharatphobia. It’s still stuck in a colonial mindset where much of the news regarding Bharat and Hindus is created through a prejudiced lens.
Well-known historian, Dr. K. S. Lal (1920-2002) has written in his book Growth of Muslim Population in India that according to his calculations, the Hindu population in India declined by 80 million from AD 1000 to AD 1525, perhaps the biggest ever holocaust in human history. This does not mean a mere & million killings.
Islamabad (Pakistan) – At least 50 members from 10 Hindu families converted to Islam in the southern Sindh Province of Pakistan, troubling Hindu activists who stated the involvement of the State in the mass conversion.
Mohammad Shamroz Khan, the son of Minister for Religious Affairs Senator Muhammad Talha Mahmood, also attended the conversion ceremony.
Another investigation by the US-based Network Contagion Research Institute said that “malicious online narratives”, “ethnic hatred” and false reports by Muslims—child kidnapping and attacks on a local mosque—led to unprecedented violence. It also pointed out the role played by supporters of terror organisations Al Qaeda and ISIS in amplifying false information that led to unrest against the Hindus.
Most of these social media claims were found to be false by the local police.
