BANGLADESH ... 5

BANGLADESH ... 5

East Pakistan, now Bangladesh, was founded by murderous mutilation of the motherland (refer, 'The Great Calcutta Killing' and Noakhali etc.) on entirely communal, fundamentalist, sectarian grounds. And now Bangladesh charges India of being Hindu communal while trumpeting herself as a state where there is complete interfaith harmony despite the fact that minorities, especially the Hindus, are under terrible attack. Atheists, critical bloggers, renowned humanist authors/authoresses like Taslima Nasrin, and Hindus, Buddhists, Christians and tribals are under constant persecution. 1987 saw the declaration of Islam as state religion of Bangladesh by General Ershad. The constant exodus of Hindus from their homeland Bangladesh to different parts of the world and the consequent progressive decline of Hindus by way of percentage of the population of Bangladesh is proof of the Islamic character of Bangladesh. Now they have come out in the open even more and want a complrtely Hindu-free Bangladesh whereupon they will establish their Talibāni state in real earnest. Islam is defeating the secular forces within Bangladesh as it was always destined to do given its character and history. Bangladesh is not only befriending Pakistan but is actually becoming kith and kin in the Umma.
