Global Hindu diaspora leaders have issued a stark warning in a letter to PM Narendra Modi: Bangladesh’s Hindus face annihilation, and India must lead the charge. Detailing mob lynchings, slayings, and a complicit state, the document catalogs atrocities that have ballooned since August 2024.
The catalyst? The live burning of Dipu Chandra Das amid a barrage of similar assaults, with terror peaking mid-December 2024. False blasphemy claims, a staple of incitement, recall the 2024 Mondal execution, fueling endless cycles of retribution.
Historical parallels abound – the 1950 Pact’s minority protection flop and 1971 refugees’ doomed returns – painting a portrait of repeated abandonment. Today’s ‘genocide,’ as termed, suffers from media suppression, intensified by anti-minority propaganda post-August 2024.
ISKCON’s Chinmoy Krishna Das, jailed since late November 2024 on sham charges and bail-blocked, highlights the interim government’s stance: no communal violence here, empowering unchecked crowds.
By the numbers, courtesy of the Unity Council: 2,442+ incidents to June 2025 hitting Hindus hardest, dozens dead, 82 in late 2024 spikes, alongside sexual violence, temple destruction, and arsons. Recent 35-day toll: 11 Hindus via lynch mobs and bullets.
India is urged to denounce openly, forge escape corridors and camps, secure UN zones, lobby the UN, and squeeze extremists economically and diplomatically. No safe passage means doom for fleeing families.
Action extends to streets: silent U.S. protests on January 31 across metros to awaken consciences worldwide. This multifaceted push from the diaspora signals escalating stakes in a crisis threatening regional stability.
