Following the resignation and flight of ex-Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on August 5, 2024, Bangladesh has witnessed severe targeting of its Hindu minority. Reports indicate widespread violence, including looting of Hindu homes and shops, vandalism of temples, and brutal assaults on Hindu men, with abductions and rapes of Hindu women also reported. Social media has been flooded with videos showing the burning of Hindu homes and the killing of livestock. Additionally, there are disturbing reports of hospitals, including government facilities, denying treatment to Hindu patients. These grave human rights abuses have provoked international condemnation. In a pointed critique, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on August 26 criticized the Opposition for its alleged silence on these atrocities, urging for increased global attention and action to halt the violence against Bangladeshi Hindus and other minority groups.
