Hindu extremism
Shadabul Mujib Los Angeles, US
When ruthless extremists kill innocent civilians in the name of Islam, Muslims around the world and in Bangladesh condemn the heinous acts in the strongest possible terms. When some ignorant social elements of Bangladesh are intolerant of other religions, majority of Bangladeshi citizens stand up in defence of the minorities. However, when Indian BSF terrorises the border areas, and kills innocent Bangladeshi nationals, Hindus around the world, and especially in Bangladesh, express no concern. They have so far remained dead silent, and extremely hesitant to criticise the state terrorism of India. Shockingly, not a single Bangladeshi Hindu condemned the "Vishwa Hindu Parishad" (VHP), a terrorist organisation in India which instigated and mobilised one million Hindu fundamentalists on December 6, 1992 to destroy the historic Babri Mosque. Not a single Bangladeshi Hindu expressed concern on lifting the ban on VHP (ban lifted on June 21, 1995). VHP, a "JMB" type terrorist organisation, has various organisational wings. The "Bajrang Dal" is the youth militant wing of the VHP, organised in many Indian states. It operates major training camps called "Shakhas", where thousands of young men train in group activities, receive extreme religious education and learn the so called "self-defensive" arms training. VHP also has a female militant wing called "Durga Vahini" which is also governed by the same principles of "Bajrang Dal". VHP believes in the declaration of India as a Hindu Rashtra. They are actively financing and campaigning for the implementation of a "Uniform Civil Code" and revocation of "Article 370" of the Indian constitution. It is well financed, and politically connected with BJP. VHP promotes extreme ideology and instigates violence and hatred by spreading lies such as "Muslims and Christians were Hindus in the first place, and that all citizens of Bharat are naturally Hindus." I wonder how the moderate and tolerant Bangladeshi Hindus can remain silent about such vicious religious propaganda.
