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.

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.

A US commission on religious freedom has said that it is "gravely troubled" over the recent wave of violence against the minority Hindu community in Bangladesh and urged the government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to launch a crackdown on extremist elements that fan anti-Hindu sentiments.
Attacks on Hindu temples have intensified in Bangladesh since last Wednesday after an alleged blasphemous post surfaced on social media during the Durga Puja celebrations.
On late Sunday night, a mob damaged 66 houses and set on fire at least 20 homes of Hindus in Bangladesh.
Condemning the attack, US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) Chair Nadine Maenza said: "the USCIRF is gravely troubled about the recent wave of violence against Hindus that has erupted in Bangladesh".
"We applaud Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's response to the heinous crimes by sending paramilitary forces to contain violence. However, we continue to urge the Bangladeshi government to crackdown on extremist elements that fan anti-Hindu sentiments in the country," she said.
The USCIRF is especially disturbed by the widespread attacks and desecration of Hindu places of worship, said its Commissioner Anurima Bhargava.
According to an official account in Bangladesh, at least five people were killed in the recent communal clashes in the country. Unconfirmed reports suggest the casualty figures to be as high as seven.
The police said over 450 suspected temple attackers were arrested so far in different parts of the country and a manhunt was underway to track down more since Wednesday.

Ahead of the much celebrated Durga Puja, Kolkata-based visual artist Sanatan Dinda&rsquo;s painting captioned &lsquo;Ma aschen&rsquo; or &lsquo;Mother is coming&rsquo; has received backlash for hurting the religious sentiments of the Hindus.

Mumbai Police notice to Arnab Goswami over 'communal' coverage

Mumbai Police has issued a show-cause notice to Republic TV's Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami over his alleged communal comments during his coverage of the Palghar lynching case and the Bandra migrants

Mumbai Police on Tuesday issued a show-cause notice to Republic TV's Editor-in-Chief ArnabGoswami over his alleged communal comments during his coverage of the Palghar lynching case and the Bandra migrants incident in April this year. Goswami&nbsp;has been asked why&nbsp;a bond of good behaviour should not be taken from him, a police official told PTI.&nbsp;He has been asked to appear before the Special Executive Magistrate and Assistant Commissioner of Police, Worli Division on Friday at 4 pm.&nbsp;

Mumbai, PTI: Mumbai Police on Tuesday issued a show-cause notice to Republic TV's Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami over his alleged communal comments during his coverage of the Palghar lynching case and the Bandra migrants incident in April this year. The notice has been sent under section 108 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), asking Mr Goswami to show reasons as to why a bond of good behaviour should not be taken from him, a police official said.
He has been asked to appear before the Special Executive Magistrate and Assistant Commissioner of Police, Worli Division on Friday at 4 pm, the official added.
On April 21, Arnab Goswami conducted a debate on his show "Puchhta Hain Bharat" on Republic Bharat about the attack on two monks and their driver in Maharashtra's Palghar.
The show-cause notice said during the debate (in Hindi), Mr Goswami asked whether it was a crime to be Hindu and wear saffron clothes and whether people would have remained silent had the victims not been Hindus.
A case under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code for "giving provocation to cause riot" and "promoting enmity between different groups on the basis of religion" and other sections has been registered against Mr Goswami following the program, it added.
His comments could create communal disharmony and hatred between Hindus and Muslims, and the show evoked strong reactions on YouTube, the notice said.
Only because of the coronavirus pandemic there was no violence but the comments posed a threat to communal integrity and law and order, so as a preventive action the police had now started the process of taking an undertaking for good behaviour from Arnab Goswami, the official said.
A bond of ₹ 10 lakh for the duration of one year with one guarantor "who is well-known in society and who can control his behaviour" will be taken from Mr Goswami, he added.
