IN RESPONSE TO AJANTA DEB ROY'S PANEL DISCUSSION POST THE 2021 GENOCIDE OF HINDUS 🕉 IN BANGLADESH WHERE A DRAMATIC PERFORMANCE IN A DRAWING ROOM DREW THE AUTHOR'S ENSUING INSTANT REJOINDER 

🕉 @ Ajanta Deb Roy : Useless sentimentality sitting in a western world in terms of such theatrical performances aimed at altering the intolerant order of things in near-Islamic Bangladesh may please the sensibilities of young audiences and the grown-up gullible but will fail to make any impression on an Islamic polity hardened by daily indoctrination in an intolerant theocratic ideology. What is needed is honest exposure of the truths of Islam as recorded in its scriptural trilogy of the Qur'an, the Hadith and the Sira, and its honest interpretation without altering intent by way of deflecting apology. The ground realities are far too harsh for Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh to be wished off with weeping at a continental distance in Europe or to be altered with such flimsy dramatics. If you truly wish to change the corroded cultural state in Bangladesh thanks to increasing Islamisation, study the Islamic scriptures in depth and cultivate courage of conviction to stand up to the forces of the dark to overcome them and release humanity from its thraldom. In it lies the Tao of Truth, sincerity of intent and possible fulfilment at a distant date of your noble aspirations which in frivolous execution lie in waste today.

Wishful Western thinking did not win the war against fascism, Nazism and communism, neither will it win the war against Islamism. So, if you wish to be a true humanitarian, address the real issues, the disease in depth by surveying symptoms but do not take the symptoms to be the disease as such and apply cosmetic cures of no consequence. There are deeper theological, scriptural and historical causes behind all this pervasive intolerance obtaining in Bangladesh and other Islamic countries throughout the world and they must be tackled head on. Political correctness will not do. Combat corruption head on or perish in the process. This, if it is the motto and is faithfully -- mark the irony -- followed, will deliver the despised from their desperate, decimated state in Bangladesh. Else, the Hindus will be wiped out by way of complete ethnic cleansing and with it all other feebler minorities will simply cease to exist as Bangladesh turns 100% Islamic with full application of the Sharia. As a conscientious expatriate Bangladeshi Hindu 🕉 surely you would not like to even mentally harbour such a possibility becoming a reality. Therefore, stop being an apologist of sorts and act firmly, striking at the roots of Islamic intolerance in its very basic tenets instead of glossing over contentious issues to appear nice before all and appeasing your appetite for doing make-believe welfare for the persecuted and the perishing in a politically perverse polity deriving savage sustenance from archaic absolutism of a perverted past. 🕉
