2024 Bangladesh anti-Hindu violence explained

See also: 2024 Bangladesh post-resignation violence. Following the resignation of Sheikh Hasina on August 5, 2024, alleged attacks began on some of the homes, businesses, and places of worship of the Hindu community in Bangladesh.^[1] The majority of the attacks were politically motivated, not because of religious identity.^[2] The Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council reported that from August 4 to August 20, a total of 2,010 incidents (including 69 temples) of attacks on minorities took place across the country within this 16-day period. Among the incidents, homes of 157 families were attacked, looted, vandalised and set on fire while some of their businesses were also attacked, looted and vandalised.^{[3] [4]} According to analysts, most of these attacks were not communal but a mix of political retributions or general criminal offences amid a law and order crisis in the country.^[5] 5 Hindus were killed in these attacks, of which at least 2 were confirmed as Awami League members.^[6] Meanwhile, Indian media (also known as 'Godi Media', because of their extreme biases) as well as Indian social media, specially 'X' accounts from Bangladesh & India began to disseminate disinformation & propaganda on the attacks;^{[7] [8] [9]} BBC Verify both confirmed some attacks hurt minorities and found that majority claims about the violence were unverified, exaggerated, or misleadingly framed. Fact checkers highlighted the situation's complexity and the difficulties in accurately assessing causes of violence.

Taking advantage of the insecurity of Hindus, recently expelled ISKCON leader Chinmoy Das was repeatedly accused of destabilizing the country by calling for a Hindu awakening movement. In late November, he was arrested on charges of involvement in anti-national activities. This further angered Hindutva activists. In the riots that broke out in front of the court, state lawyer Saiful Islam Alif was brutally hacked to death.^[10] Footage showed several people carrying weapons and being involved in the murder. Later, law enforcement arrested them, most of whom were Chinmoy's supporter Hindus^[11] and members of the banned terrorist organization Chatra League,^[12] which is a student wing of Awami League. The arrest of Chinmoy Das brought some calm to the situation in the country.

Background

On July 2024, the quota reform movement morphed into a fierce anti-government mass uprising, known as the Student–People's uprising, ultimately removed the Awami League government from state power.^{[13] [14]} Over the years, other political factions have taken turns in actions like the attack by Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) in 2001, the aggression from Jamaat-e-Islami in 2013,^[15] and the combined attacks by the BNP and Jamaat in 2014,^{[16] [17] [18]} which forced these parties to lose the backing of the Hindu community.^[19] Awami League, being the last bastion of secularism, was seen as the protector of the Hindu minority though several attacks have taken place during the tenure of the Awami League government.^{[20] [21]}

Attacks

Following Hasina's departure, a series of communal attacks were reported, particularly targeting Hindus in Bangladesh. These incidents included alleged attacks on temples, houses, and shops belonging to minority communities, as well as reports of looting and murder across several districts in the country.^[22]

Among them, 157 families had their homes and businesses were attacked, looted, vandalized, and set on fire. Lands of some of the families were forcibly occupied. An investigation published on 30 October by Netra News found that none of the murders bore clear signs of religious or communal motives. Instead, a mix of political retribution, mob violence, and criminal homicides was behind the incidents involving the seven deaths. Additionally, some cases, the Unity Council’s assertions were undercut by the very news reports they cited and by their own grassroots officials.^[24]

According to sources from the police headquarters, following the fall of the Awami League government, between August 5 and August 9, there have been 47 incidents surrounding puja mandaps (pandals), including the vandalism of 30 idols and temples, 4 thefts or robberies, 3 arson attacks, and 10 other incidents.^[25] According to Bangladesh police, 35 untoward incidents related to Durga Puja in Bangladesh since October 1.

He said that his house was vandalized and looted on the evening of August 5 just after the fall of Sheikh Hasina government. He and his family barely managed to escape with their lives.

Pramanik, who was expelled from the organization, become the president of the same organization again after the fall of Sheikh Hasina's government.^{[136] [137]} Later on August 7, the General Secretary of the same organisation, Dr. Mrityunjoy Kumar Roy, stated that Pramanik's statement to the media was false and "extremely insulting and shameful" for the Hindu community of the country and urged him to publicly apologize.^[138]

BNP leader Gayeshwar Chandra Roy^[139] also refuted claims made by Indian media that his party is anti-Hindu, asserting that the BNP has been inclusive of all communities in Bangladesh and has consistently supported all religious groups.^[140]

Numerous India-based social media accounts circulated several misleading videos and images about attacks on Bangladeshi Hindus, which were subsequently debunked by several fact-checking organizations.^[141] A false report also claimed that the house of Bangladeshi cricketer Liton Das had been set on fire, which was later debunked.^{[142] [143]} Das himself refuted the claim in a Facebook post.^[144]

Quoting LoP West Bengal Legislative Assembly & BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari, several Indian media channels falsely claimed that more than 10 million Bangladeshi Hindus are heading towards India to seek refuge, adding that Bangladesh is becoming an "Islamic State". In an interview given to Al Jazeera, Bangladeshi political analyst Zahed Ur Rahman stated that that Indian media viewed the situation in Bangladesh through "their Islamophobic eye", despite the view in Bangladesh that it was a popular movement.^[145]

BBC Verify has highlighted some false information circulating on social media that has been exaggerated or is unrelated to the actual incident.^{[146] [147] [148] [149]}

Analysts Farid Erkizia Bakht and Siddharth Varadarajan suggested that India's intent to destabilize Bangladesh through this disinformation campaign stems from the disappointment of losing a valuable ally like Sheikh Hasina and from apprehensions about the new government in the country harbouring anti-Indian sentiments.

BBC News and Deutsche Welle, France 24 and some fack-checking websites highlighted several rumors circulated on X and other social medias.^{[150] [151]}

Reactions

Domestic

The looting and fear of looting of Hindu houses has caused Hindus to attempt to flee. On 7 August, around 700-800 Hindus in Thakurgaon district attempted to leave Bangladesh for India but were stopped by India's Border Security Force (BSF) and returned after promises of safety from Bangladeshi authorities. Later on, 8 August, video footage showed 300 Hindus at a border post across from West Bengal's Jalpaiguri district attempting to flee to India who were later dispersed by BSF personnel.^[152] On 10 August, another 500-600 Hindus gathered at the border in Hatibandha Upazila of Lalmonirhat district attempting to flee into India but were stopped by Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB).^{[153] [154]}

Starting on 9 August Hindu organisations-led protests across Bangladesh against the violence. Large protests took place in Shahbag in Dhaka for two consecutive days.^[155] On 10 August a large rally took place in Chittagong to call for an end to the violence.^[156] On 11 August further protests were reported from Tangail,^[157] Jamalpur,^[158] Moulvibazar,^[159] and Bogra.^[160] The demonstrators demanded action against the attackers of Hindu temples and properties as well as a 10% for minority communities in seats of the Jatiya Sangsad, formating of foundations for minority religions, return of property seized under the Vested Property Act and a five-day holiday for Durga Puja.

There were also some instances reported of students and members of the Muslim community, including BNP activists and madrasa students standing guard at temples and churches.^{[161] [162]} The coordinators of the Anti-discrimination Students Movement distanced themselves from the attacks and pleaded with the people not to carry out such attacks.^[163] On 13 August, Muhammad Yunus, Chief Adviser of the Interim Government, visited the Dhakeshwari Temple to reassure Hindus that they are equal citizens in Bangladesh.^[164] Yunus said that attacks on minority Hindus were "exaggerated", and also claimed that the attacks on minorities were more political than communal.^[165]

Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami condemned the attack against Hindus, saying there is nothing called majority or minority and that every citizen has equal rights.^[166]

On September 4, mass protest for safety of Hindus held in Shaheed minar, Dhaka.^[167]

On October 25, the Bangladesh Sanatan Jagaran Manch, an organization of the Hindu community, held a mass rally at Laldighi Maidan in Chattogram city with an eight-point demand. With slogans like "Āmār māṭi āmār mā, ē dēś chēṛē kōthāō jābô nā (My land, my mother, I will not leave this country)," Hindu men and women joined the rally in groups and processions. The main speaker, Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, further stated,^{[168] [169]}

On 1 November, when the Sanatan Jagaran Manch announced a protest rally in Chattogram, police prevented Hindus from joining the gathering. The Deputy Commissioner (South) of the city police, Liakat Ali Khan, stated that, in line with administrative directives, they were barred from holding the rally today. On August 31, a sedition case was filed at Kotwali Police Station against 19 people, including the spokesperson of Sanatan Jagaran Manch, Chinmoy Krishna Das.^[170]

Recalling the events of October 25, Gauranga Das Brahmachari, a key organizer of the Sanatan Jagaran Manch, said,

Expatriates

On 11 August, in Birmingham, expatriates from Bangladesh’s minority communities held a protest rally in front of the Assistant High Commission of Bangladesh, protesting against “attacks on temples and churches” and the “persecution” of minorities in Bangladesh.^{[171] [172]}

In front of the Parliament Square and the British media BBC's headquarters, expatriates held placards and banners with writings such as “Protect Hindus,” “Hindu Lives Matter,” and “Justice for Hindus” while chanting slogans.^{[173] [174] [175]} Expatriate Ajit K. Saha alleged, “The BBC has published biased news on the recent incidents in Bangladesh. They have never highlighted the incidents of oppression against Hindus.” Protesters submitted a letter of protest to the BBC newsroom, drawing attention to the lack of coverage on the recent suffering of Hindus in Bangladesh.^[176]

On Saturday afternoon, expatriate Bangladeshis held a rally at Nathan Phillips Square of Toronto. Foreigners also participated alongside Bangladeshis.^{[177] [178]} Canadian Member of Parliament Kevin Vuong, representative of the World Hindu Council Abhishek Choubey, and former president of the Canadian Hindu Chamber of Commerce Naresh Chawda attended the rally to show solidarity. Many also called for using ''Canada's influence'' to support international measures for the protection of Hindus in Bangladesh. They suggested that "a process could be implemented to grant express visas to Bangladeshi Hindus seeking asylum in Canada."^{[179] [180] [181] [182] [183]}

On Sunday morning, more than 300 Indian Americans and Bangladeshi-origin Hindus gathered at Sugar Land City Hall in Houston. They called on the Biden administration to take immediate action to prevent atrocities and ensure the protection of minority communities in Bangladesh. Dipti Mahajan, co-coordinator of the organization HinduPACT, stated in her speech that "10 million Hindus are sitting on a ticking time bomb of genocide."^{[184] [185]} From Michigan to Houston and from California to Washington, D.C., Indian and Bangladeshi Americans gathered with placards like "Protect Hindu Rights," "Religion is not a crime," "Live and Let Live," etc., in solidarity with their "Hindu brothers and sisters."^{[186] [187]}
