A foreboding intelligence warning from New Delhi highlights Bangladesh’s descent into minority-targeted terror, intensifying just before crucial elections. What began as chronic issues has escalated into a blueprint for erasure, chillingly efficient and widespread.
HRCBM tallies reveal 116 minority deaths between mid-2025 and early 2026, with incidents exploding across every division—a far cry from localized past violence. Indian officials observe a new ruthlessness: no pauses, no mercy, fully orchestrated.
‘Perpetrators are government-agnostic, fixated on completion,’ one IB source stated. The shift post-Hasina has empowered Jamaat-ISI tandems under Yunus, who offer little resistance, eyeing communal polarization for electoral edge.
Beyond domestic cleansing, attacks signal aggression toward India, accelerating a population slide from 30% minorities in 1946 to 9% today. Pre-poll predictions: heightened brutality to galvanize extremists.
Official narratives frame killings as private matters, contradicted by evidence of premeditated strikes. As Bangladesh hurtles toward votes, the stakes rise for minorities—and the region—demanding urgent diplomatic intervention to halt the spiral.
