Wave of Violence Against Hindus in Bangladesh Sparks Outcry as Disturbing Video Emerges
Violence Against Hindus in Bangladesh: A shocking video circulating on social media has spotlighted growing violence against Hindu minorities in Bangladesh. The video, shared on Reddit, claims Hindu women are being targeted, attacked, and humiliated by Islamist groups amid rising unrest. The footage, reportedly captioned, “Bangladesh is now in the hands of militants. Look how Hindu women are targeted and attacked by Islamists,” has drawn intense criticism, with users blaming the administration of Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus for failing to protect minority communities.
Public outrage over this video is echoing across online platforms, with comments questioning global response. One Reddit user demanded, “Why should the world care if we don’t take action ourselves? It’s no longer an internal matter.” Another user expressed frustration with international bodies, stating, “Bangladesh’s situation is a real-life horror show—where’s the UN when you need them?”
The disturbing incidents are part of a broader surge of violence against Hindus, Buddhists, and other minority communities in Bangladesh, which has seen unrest following Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s resignation on August 5. Her departure triggered political chaos, with targeted attacks reportedly spreading across 27 districts. The Daily Star reported that Hindu-owned properties and businesses have been vandalized or destroyed as tensions rise.
Recently, the hashtag “All Eyes On Hindus” began trending on social media, bringing international attention to the plight of Hindu minorities in Bangladesh. This campaign is modeled after the phrase “All Eyes on Rafah,” which was used widely during international protests against violence in Gaza. The hashtag has amplified calls for action against attacks on Hindus, with voices worldwide urging increased protection for these communities amid Bangladesh’s escalating political turmoil.
