New Delhi, 28th Nov. The Delhi Study Group, a prominent Indian NGO, has strongly condemned the “Hindus Genocide in Bangladesh,” expressing deep anguish over the systematic targeting of Hindu minorities in the country. Describing it as a tragic chapter in world history, the group shed light on the violence, bloodshed, forced conversions, displacements, and widespread persecution faced by Hindus in Bangladesh.
A large protest meeting organized by the group was presided over by Dr. Vijay Jolly, President of the Delhi Study Group and a former MLA. Notable speakers included Alok Kumar, International President of Vishwa Hindu Parishad; Jain Acharya Dr. Lokesh Muni, Founder of Ahimsa Vishwa Bharti & World Peace Center; and M. Nageswara Rao, Retired IPS Officer and former Director of the CBI. The event was compered by Ms. Ritu Rathaur, a women leader of the Delhi Study Group.
The group drew attention to the surge in religious persecution following the political coup in Bangladesh, which ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on August 5, 2024, replacing her with Mohammad Yunus. Since then, violent attacks on Hindu minorities have reportedly intensified.
The protestors cited incidents of arson, theft, vandalism, and the desecration of Hindu temples and deities as evidence of escalating hate crimes. They also condemned the recent arrest of Chinmoy Krishna Das, spokesperson for the Bangladesh Sammilit Sanatan Jagaran Jote, calling for his immediate release.
The Delhi Study Group expressed gratitude to international leaders, including U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, for their support in addressing the crisis.
Highlighting the need for immediate action, the group called on the Bangladesh government to ensure the safety, security, and dignity of its Hindu minority. “The Hindu community in Bangladesh is facing unprecedented persecution and violence,” said Dr. Jolly. “We demand that the Bangladesh government protect their rights to freedom of speech, religion, and life.”
The gathering concluded with an appeal for international solidarity and justice for the victims, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding minority rights and fostering peace in the region.
