In 2024, Bangladesh reported over 2,200 cases of violence against Hindus and other minorities. India has urged Bangladesh and Pakistan to take necessary actions to safeguard minority communities.

2,200 cases of violence against Hindus, other minorities in Bangladesh: Govt

Relations between India and Bangladesh deteriorated further in recent weeks over attacks on the Hindus and the arrest of Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das.

A total of 2,200 cases of violence against Hindus and other minorities have been reported in Bangladesh this year till December 8, and India's expectation is Dhaka will take necessary measures to ensure their safety, the government said on Friday.
Minister of State for External Affairs Kirti Vardhan Singh gave the information in a written response to a query in Lok Sabha, citing data from minority and human rights organisations.
In Pakistan, the number of cases of violence against Hindus and other minorities in Pakistan this year stood at "112 till October 2024," the MoS said.
The corresponding figures for 2022 were 47 in Bangladesh and 241 in Pakistan, while in 2023 the figures were 302 in Bangladesh and 103 in Pakistan, according to the data he shared.
The minister said the Indian government has urged "Pakistan to take steps to prevent religious intolerance, sectarian violence, systemic persecution and attacks on minority communities and ensure their safety, security, and well-being."
He added, "India continues to highlight the plight of minorities in Pakistan at appropriate international fora."
Cases of violence against Hindus and other minorities in other neighbouring
countries (except Pakistan and Bangladesh) is "nil," the minister said.
Singh was asked about the total number of cases of violence against Hindus and other minorities reported in neighbouring countries during the last three years,
country-wise and year-wise; and the steps taken or proposed to be taken by the ministry to protect minorities, including diplomatic interventions and relief measures.
The Union minister in his response also said the "government has taken serious note of these incidents and shared its concerns with the government of Bangladesh."
"India's expectation is that Bangladesh will take all necessary measures to ensure safety and welfare of Hindus and other minorities. The same was also reiterated during the visit of the Foreign Secretary to Bangladesh on December 9, 2024," he added.
The High Commission of India in Dhaka "continues to monitor the situation" related to the minorities in Bangladesh "closely," the Minister of State for External Affairs said.
"The primary responsibility for the protection of life and liberty of all citizens, including minorities, rests with the government of the country concerned," he said.
Ties between India and Bangladesh came under severe strain after deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina was forced to leave the country in the face of a massive anti-government protest in August.
Nobel Peace laureate Muhammad Yunus came to power days after Hasina took shelter in India.
He heads Bangladesh's interim government as its Chief Advisor.
Relations between the two nations deteriorated further in recent weeks over attacks on the Hindus and the arrest of Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das.
"Several incidents of desecration and damage to Hindu temples and deities in Bangladesh have been reported in the past few months," Singh said.
"The government of India has expressed its concerns about such incidents, including the demolition of Jagannath Temple in Bangladesh, attack on a Puja mandap in Tantibazar, Dhaka and the theft at the Jeshoreshwari Kali temple at Satkhira during Durga Puja 2024," he added.

President Joe Biden is closely monitoring the situation in Bangladesh and the US will hold the country's interim government accountable for ensuring the protection of religious and ethnic minorities, the White House has said.

President Joe Biden is closely monitoring the situation in Bangladesh and the US will hold the country's interim government accountable for ensuring the protection of religious and ethnic minorities, the White House has said.
The security situation in Bangladesh has been difficult following the ouster of the former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby said.
"And we have been working closely with the interim government to enhance the capability of their law enforcement and security services to deal with the challenge," Kirby said at a news conference on Thursday.
Hasina was ousted as prime minister in the face of a massive anti-government protest in August.
There have been a spate of incidents of violence against Hindus and other minorities, as well as attacks on temples in the last few weeks in Bangladesh.
"We&rsquo;ve been very clear in our engagement with all Bangladeshi leaders that protection of religious and ethnic minorities is absolutely critical, and the leaders of the interim government have repeatedly committed to providing security to all Bangladeshis, regardless of religion or ethnicity," he said.
"We want to hold them to that," Kirby said in response to a question.
Over the past few weeks, Indian Americans have held peaceful protests and marches in several cities, including in front of the White House, in Chicago, New York, SFO, Detroit, Houston and Atlanta, urging Biden to help stop alleged brutalities against the minority Hindu community in Bangladesh.
Earlier in the day, Indian-American Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi urged members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to address the issue of violence against minorities, primarily Hindus, in Bangladesh during the confirmation hearing of Senator Marco Rubio for the position of secretary of state.
President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Senator Rubio for the top diplomatic position. The date of his confirmation hearing has not been announced yet.
"As targeted violence against Hindus and other minorities continues amid the disorder in Bangladesh, I urge the members of the Senate's Committee on Foreign Relations to address this crisis directly during the upcoming hearings to confirm Senator Rubio as the next US secretary of state," Krishnamoorthi said.
Over the weekend, a large number of Indian-Americans held a march from the White House to the US Capitol over alleged attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh.
Raising slogans like &ldquo;We want Justice&rdquo; and &ldquo;Protect Hindus&rdquo;, the demonstrators urged the Biden administration and the incoming Trump administration to ask the new government in Bangladesh to take steps to protect Hindus and also initiate action against those responsible for this.
"The Bangladeshi Hindu community and the larger Hindu diaspora from the Indian subcontinent have come in support of the Bangladesh Hindu community because there is continuing violence going on in Bangladesh, specifically in Chittagong and Rangpur area, as well as in some other parts of the country," said Utsav Chakrabarti of HinduACTion.

Protests in Canada for Hindu Rights in Bangladesh

Canadian Hindus gathered outside the Bangladeshi Consulate in Toronto on Tuesday to demand justice and protection for Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh.

Canadian Hindus gathered outside the Bangladeshi Consulate in Toronto on Tuesday to demand justice and protection for Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh. Braving cold winter temperatures, they held banners with slogans like "Shame Shame Bangladesh" and "Stop Hindu Genocide," calling on the Canadian, Indian, and international communities to pressure the Bangladeshi government for the safety of minorities.
Protesters voiced their concerns about the increasing violence against Hindus in Bangladesh, highlighting reports of assaults, rapes, and targeted attacks on women and children. One protester accused Bangladesh of attempting to &ldquo;overrun&rdquo; its Hindu minority, drawing parallels to similar violence in Pakistan and Afghanistan. "We are here to unite and show concern for our brothers and sisters," said one participant.
On World Human Rights Day, protestors emphasized the ongoing violence since August 3, 2024, urging Bangladesh to stop attacks on Hindus, including the burning of temples and abductions. A Bangladeshi-origin Hindu woman spoke out, calling for protection for Hindus in their homeland, stressing that they should not be wiped out as they were in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Recent months have seen repeated incidents of violence, including arson, looting, and desecration of Hindu temples. The arrest of Hindu priest Chinmoy Krishna Das on sedition charges sparked further protests, with India urging Bangladesh to ensure the safety and rights of its Hindu minority.

RSS leader Sunil Ambekar urged urgent government action against violence targeting Hindus in Bangladesh, criticized inaction by Muhammad Yunus' administration, and called for addressing global influences fueling unrest.

RSS Leader Urges Action for Hindus in Bangladesh

RSS Calls for Action Against Hindu Violence

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leader Sunil Ambekar has called for decisive action from the Indian government to address ongoing violence against Hindus in Bangladesh.

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leader Sunil Ambekar has called for decisive action from the Indian government to address ongoing violence against Hindus in Bangladesh. Speaking at an event organized by the Sakal Hindu Samaj in Nagpur, Ambekar stressed the need for stronger measures to protect the minority Hindu community in the neighboring country.
"The government must intensify its efforts. While dialogue remains an option, alternative solutions must be considered if discussions fail to resolve the issue," said Ambekar, who heads the RSS&rsquo;s publicity division. The event was convened to condemn attacks targeting Hindu minorities in Bangladesh.
Ambekar described the violence as reminiscent of oppression during the Mughal era. "Our temples are being desecrated, homes plundered, and women subjected to atrocities. Every Hindu should feel the pain of these events. Mere condemnation is insufficient; we must take proactive steps," he emphasized.
He further argued that the attacks aim to displace the Hindu population. "Similar atrocities are being carried out in Pakistan as well. If we remain silent, future generations will question our inaction," he warned.
Criticizing Bangladesh's interim administration led by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus, Ambekar accused the government of failing to curb the violence. "A country led by a peace prize recipient should not witness such unrest. Yet, there is no meaningful action to address these crimes," he remarked.
Ambekar also highlighted the role of "global forces" in fomenting unrest in Bangladesh and urged their identification and exposure. "Such powers need to be confronted and held accountable for their interference," he added.
The RSS has repeatedly raised concerns about the situation in Bangladesh. In a statement issued on November 30, General Secretary Dattatreya Hosabale criticized the Bangladeshi government for its inaction, describing it as a "silent spectator" to the atrocities.
Earlier, in October, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat condemned the escalating violence against Bangladeshi Hindus, noting that the attacks intensified after protests over a controversial quota system spiraled into anti-government demonstrations. These events eventually led to the removal of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina from office in August.
