Bangladesh

Allaying fears

As the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) takes centre stage in the country’s political arena, the nuances of its implementation resonate deeply within the diverse fabric of our nation.

Migration Muddle

"Why did Shah push Khan for a treaty to deport illegal migrants? Why did not the Hasina-Modi joint statement include the assurance? There was no mention of the migration issue at all, a lapse that raises questions about India's real intentions. One possible clue is that the Bharatiya Janata Party incited Hindus into religious-nationalistic fervour to win votes"

Bangladesh provoked

More than 3,000 Durga Pujas are organized throughout Bangladesh and only a few pandals suffered vandalism. “This is unfortunate,” the minister said, adding that “within three days we exposed the criminals. It is clear who had perpetrated the mischief and placed the Quran in a pandal”.

Unfortunate legacy

If a zero-tolerance policy is adopted in dealing with the criminals who designed and carried out the recent mayhem against Hindus, that will reverse the 75-year-old tide of injustice against minorities in that country. Bangladesh has no answer as to why the Hindu population in that country reduced from nearly 30 per cent in 1947 to about 8 per cent today.
