[VIDEOS] Fact check: Attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh were not religiously driven

[Champ_Pal]

Presuming the Hindus don't want Islamic laws, would they be able to get refuge in India? Wasn't there some sort of decree a while back where all non-Muslims could apply for asylum in India if they felt threatened in some parts of the subcontinent?

It was CAA which allows people from all Dharmic faiths in Pak, BD and Afg to apply for citizenship in India and their applications will be fast tracked.

There were massive protests from the Lefties in India and brought the life to halt in many major cities. They said it discriminates against Muslims from applying for citizenship in India.

Now we can see that BJP was right in adopting CAA all this time. There is no future for Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and Sikhs in India's neighboring countries. They will eventually be driven out anyways. Such a shame that any measure that BJP adopts be it Farm Laws, CAA are shut out mercilessly by woke leftists in India.

These Hindus living in Bangladesh should apply for citizenship in India then, presuming life in BD has become intolerable.

Too much BJP produced Bollywood.

Hindus lived under Muslim rule for over 1000 years. If the Muslims wanted India would have ZERO Hindus today.

Islam doesnt instruct to attack any religion but it also states God is ONE and can not be in any form of any idol , brick, statue etc.

This is not a religous issue. Bangladeshis are sick of Indian interfering. Indais puppet rule of this land is over.

Now India is using victim mentality and throwing its saffron toys out because it has no influence over Bangladesh now.

You are wrong. Mughals and Delhi sultanate were miniscule minority in numbers compared to Hindu population. They would not want the entire population to turn against them which would be counterproductive. They are no fools. They were happy to be the overlords and enjoy the riches the land provides without angering much the majority populace. Hindus also did not care much as long as the rulers did not desecrate their temples.

Another thing is, Mughals still had Hindu chieftains as vassals and allowed them to indirectly rule for paying tribute to Mughals Khazana. The strong hold of these Sultanates and Mughals were still in Afghanistan and modern day Pakistan and parts of Delhi, UP and North India. That is where they were able to convert the majority Hindu population to Islam.

Overwhelming majority of Indian population lived in villages. These Islamic rulers were based in a few heavily fortified cities and surrounded themselves with converted Muslims for protection from any rebellion. They lived in a bubble with their well trained army for protection.

I will give you an example. Nizams of modern day Telangana were mainly rooted in the city of Hyderabad. That is where they converted local population to Islam. The rest of the Telangana still remained majority Hindus. Those Hindus were left alone as long as they paid Jizya and not conspire against Nizams. When India got its independence and the Hindus around the city of Hyderabad revolted against Nizams, the Razakars of Nizam went on a killing spree of Hindus. Thousands were mercilessly massacred including women and children. It was the final nail in the coffin for Nizams and they surrendered when Indian Army showed up in Hyderabad.

They are trying to crossover to India. But Indian army is stopping them from entering India.

India does not want 1.5 crore people entering it at once. That too without knowing who these people are. Many Islamists can also pose as Hindus and enter India which will be a major security threat.

[sweep_shot]

Indian media and Indian people have spread a lot of misinformation on social media. They made the situation look worse than it actually was.

Anyway, I am not planning to waste my time in correcting them.

Again, if any innocent minority was harmed, I definitely condemn it. But, those things happen in India too (it is actually far worse in India) and I don't see Indian posters condemn those generally.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

So shipping Hasina to India gives BD extremists a free pass to abuse Hindus and desecrate temples? Are you okay?

Looks like for BD and Pakistan, India means only Hindus. They ignore 180 million Muslims and millions of other minorities.

No of course not there can be no excuse for religious persecutation.

However there is no harm in trying to understand the underlying motives, no matter how wrong or disagreeable those motives may be.

Also of course India doesn't mean only Hindu but its no secret that the Indian government is openly Hindu nationalist. When governments wrap them self in religious garb then miscreants can try to capitalise on it. For instance, we see rising Anti-semitism when Israel does something or we see rising Islamophobia around the actions of some muslim governments and we are seeing some disgusting hinduphobia as a result of the actions of Hindu government.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Hasina landed in India. India didn't send troops to rescue her. She is requesting political asylum here.


Posters doing the same what this thread says is being done in BD and exposing such posters is off topic?

Every moment she is in India is a direct intervention.

btw you know many Bangladeshis ( I mean UK ones I have spoken to) believe that RAW and even Indian security forces were responsinble for the attacks on students on Hasinas behalf.

No one gets butchered for converting to Islam in Pakistan. If you are going to divert the topic to Pakistan at least do a better job.

Not for converting to Islam, capt. What I was telling @CricketCartoons was that no amount of conversion to Islam would prevent the converts from blowing and butchering each other like they are doing in Pakistan. Whether it is shia vs sunni, baloch vs punjabi etc etc. So conversion wouldn't offer any security, like @CricketCartoons was claiming in his post.

Oh of course you converts wanted to eliminate Hindus from India. Just that you failed miserably. All you have to show for 1000 years of effort is Pakistan and Bangladesh, both ranking among the most successful and prosperous countries in the world. Well done.
And as for Bangladesh, even an Indian like me doesn't want India to do anything with them. As long as they don't send any illegals across, we'll be happy to keep them at arms distance like we do to Pakistan.

13 Dalits are murdered every week in India, and 10 Dalit women are raped daily.

India is a complete and utter hellhole for most people.

In fact, Indian Hinduism has been a living hell for most of its adherents throughout history. The Indian Hindu caste system and persecution is the biggest blight in human history.

it's funny you guys never mention the great work Hinduism does at eliminating its own adherents, instead focusing on imaginary threats from Muslims.

Post the stats. Would like to examine. You have to examine who is murdering or raping dalits. My bet is majority of them by their own fellow Dalits. Please post the link.

Even one death becomes national news or at least local state news for days and weeks along.

This is like Blacks in US kill each other dozens every weekend. But it becomes national news when cops kill one black dude.

When I showed you the stats that BD is the rape capital in terms percapita of South Asia, you mysteriously ignored it. But that does not stop you from pointing fingers at India.

How? Has BD sent any official extradition request?

If Indian security forces were in BD, they would have carved out a separate nation for Hindus.

Pakistan Army couldn't hold Dhaka against Indian army, what are the chances BD army could?

Muslims in BD are committing genocide of non Muslims. And they want to paint it as retaliation against Hasina or others.

Your post has since been removed, so I don't want to post it again. Seems like a clear case of deflecting from the topic in order to talk about Pakistan in detrimental terms. Just stick to attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh so we can stay focused on the topic at hand. If you want to throw slurs on Islam or Pakistan post in the relevant threads.

Bangladesh doesn't have multiple ethnicities. Bengali hindus will become bengali muslims, keeping their language and ethnicity. They should convert to sunni version, which is the default.

There may be N reasons they may be killed, but at least by converting to islam, they will have only N - 1 reasons, same as the average bangladeshi muslim.

Bangladeshi hindus must convert to Islam if they want to live with self respect. No shame in it.

India-Bangladesh tensions soar amid protests

A war of words between Bangladesh and neighbour India is threatening to spiral out of control following protests and counter-protests over the alleged ill-treatment of Hindu minorities in the country.

Diplomatic relations between the neighbours and once-close allies have been *****ly since August, when former prime minister Sheikh Hasina fled Bangladesh after a public uprising (she is currently in India).

The latest trigger was the arrest of a Hindu monk last week, which set off protests in India by activists from Hindu organisations and politicians including members of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

On Monday, in an embarrassment for India, dozens of protesters forced their way into the consulate building of Bangladesh in the north-eastern city of Agartala and vandalised it.

Hours later, hundreds of students and activists protested in Dhaka against the storming of the consulate.

The Indian government has distanced itself from the attack, calling it “deeply regrettable”.

"Diplomatic and consular properties should not be targeted under any circumstances," India's foreign ministry said in a statement, adding that it was stepping up security for Bangladesh's diplomatic buildings in the country. Police have arrested seven people in connection with the incident.

But Dhaka is livid.

The Bangladesh foreign ministry described the attack as "heinous” and called on Delhi to undertake a thorough investigation and “to prevent any further acts of violence against the diplomatic missions of Bangladesh”.

“It is very unfortunate and it’s an unacceptable situation… Hindu extremists broke into the premises, pulled down the flag stand and desecrated the [Bangladeshi] flag. Our officers and other staff were extremely scared,” Touhid Hossain, foreign affairs adviser to the interim government in Bangladesh, told the BBC.

Bangladesh officials say the protests in India - some have happened near the countries' border - have been triggered by disinformation and heated coverage of the issue by several Indian media outlets.

“Unfortunately, Indian media has gone berserk over the issue. They are trying to portray Bangladesh in the darkest possible light. I don’t know why they are doing it and how it will benefit either Bangladesh or India, I fail to understand,” Mr Hossain, the de facto foreign minister, said.

Experts in India, however, say that it is natural that developments in Bangladesh will have ramifications in the neighbouring country.

“Feelings are running high in India. Bangladesh should first address the lawlessness there, particularly the attack on minorities,” Pinak Ranjan Chakravarty, a former Indian high commissioner to Dhaka, told the BBC.

For India, Bangladesh is not just any neighbouring country. It's a strategic partner and ally crucial to India's border security, particularly in the north-eastern states. The two countries also share close cultural and linguistic ties.

Hindus constitute less than 10% of Bangladesh’s 170 million population. Leaders of the community have long spoken of discrimination and hate attacks against them by Islamists and some political parties.

In the aftermath of the chaotic overthrow of Hasina in August, many of her supporters were targeted, including those from religious minorities traditionally seen as backing her.

After weeks of relative calm, the situation has become tense again in the aftermath of the arrest of the Hindu leader, Chinmoy Krishna Das.

He was arrested on charges of sedition, among others, after holding a protest demanding minority rights in Chittagong in October. There, he was accused of raising a saffron flag - the colour is associated with Hinduism - above the Bangladeshi national flag.

Last week, a court in Chittagong denied bail to him, spurring clashes that led to the death of a Muslim lawyer. Dozens of people have been arrested in connection with the killing and violence.

On Tuesday, the monk's bail hearing was pushed to 2 January after no lawyer turned up to represent him.

Chinmoy Das was earlier associated with the religious organisation Iskcon. But Hrishikesh Gauranga Das, a senior official of Iskcon in Dhaka, told the BBC that the monk was expelled from the organisation earlier this year on disciplinary grounds.

“Some students complained that Chinmoy Das misbehaved with them. So, we sent letters asking for his cooperation to investigate the matter. But he refused to cooperate”, the official said.

Chinmoy Das is in jail and unavailable for comment but a supporter told the BBC that the allegations were false and arose from "an internal feud between Iskcon leaders in Dhaka and Chittagong".

The supporter, Swatantra Gauranga Das, also denied that Chinmoy Das had disrespected the Bangladeshi national flag.

The flare-up over the arrest has added to the tense atmosphere in Bangladesh.

Hrishikesh Gauranga Das said that minorities in Bangladesh are "living in fear".

“They don’t know what will happen. The government is trying [to provide security] but it’s difficult to control most people”, he said.

He said three Iskcon temples suffered minor damages after they were vandalised by miscreants in recent days.

The interim government in Bangladesh says it’s aware of the sensitivities and that it gives equal treatment to all communities.

“We have deployed additional forces to provide security to Iskcon and Hindu temples and where religious minorities live. There may have been some stray incidents but there are no orchestrated attacks on minorities,” said Shafiqul Alam, press secretary to Bangladesh’s interim leader Muhammad Yunus.

But religious tensions are not new to the region and activists on both sides are worried that if inflammatory speeches and protests continue, the situation could spiral out of control.

Hasina’s stay in India has already become a major irritant in bilateral ties and the escalating protests in both countries are likely to deteriorate the atmosphere.

Experts point out that India and Bangladesh are neighbours who need each other and it’s time for the rhetoric to be toned down.

The protests have also impacted ordinary people who travel from Bangladesh to India for business, tourism or for medical treatment.

When Muhammad Inayatullah was crossing into India earlier this week to meet his friends, he saw a demonstration by Hindu activists at the Petrapole border in the Indian state of West Bengal.

“It’s not nice to hear people shouting slogans against your country when you cross the border,” Mr Inayatullah told BBC Bengali.

UN has bigger fishes to fry (Palestine conflict, Russia-Ukraine, Sudan civil war, Lebanon-Israel conflict, Georgia crisis etc.). I doubt they would want to waste resources on BD.

Finally, there are a lot of misinformation being spread by Indians/Indian media and UN is possibly aware of it.

It's clearly not intolerable otherwise Hindus of BD would be applying for Indian citizenship which Indian govt made specific new policies to encourage and aid such people of the subcontinent living under duress. Surely if the Hindus are so hard pressed in India this is exactly the sort of people who should be accomodated in India if they wish to take up the offer?

She may be authoritarian and borderline dictatorial, but at least under her BD made significant improvement economically. But anyways, if BD does not want her back, no power can put her back in place.

India needs to get over this hurt after Bangladeshi people decided to be independent of the Hindutva nation.

Crying now over exaugurated attacks is pathetic and laughable tbh. Because if Bangaldesh was still on Indias side, you and other wouldnt know or care if any attacks took place on Hindus.

He says 14 crore BD Muslims will break the hands of Modi and Mamata if they extend their hands towards Bangladesh. I say, no one wants that headache of a nation BD. If India wanted it, they would have taken it back in 1971 itself.

India wants nothing from BD except for a non-hostile neighbor. But BD is wrapped by a snake called extremism. Sheikh Hasina was able to hold that snake under feet when she was in power. Now that she is gone, the snake is let loose. It will start biting the minorities first and later it will turn against Muslims who will oppose it.

Well done BD. You deserve everything that is going to come your way in the coming years.

The mask is falling off of these Islamists. Hindus who have no link to India's hindutava are being labeled as Hindutva and that justifies atrocities of murder and arson against them.

There is a saying, a moderate Islamist is the one supporting extremists. Few ppers are walking example of this.
Again these Islamists will cry on roads and beg UN to intervene when Palestine Islamists get decimated by Isreal forces.

Hindus are natives of the land what is now called Bangladesh. They’ve been living there for thousands of years. Why do they have to runaway? Dharmic cults existed in BD land more than 2000 yrs before the first Islamic invader ever showed up there and converted locals.

If India is accepting Hindus from BD, then BD also has to accept Muslims from Bengal and Bihar. It should never be a one way streak.

They don't, but no one asked the Indian govt to roll out the red carpet for Hindus in other countries of the subcontinent. Now they've done that, then Hindus of BD should take them up on the offer if they are really suffering so badly. But I am guessing they aren't and this is all being overblown by hindutva social media spammers.

And no, BD doesn't have to accept Muslims from everywhere else, it was BJP govt which decided they needed to offer citizenship to Hindus all over the subcontinent, this has nothing to do with Bangladesh govt.

Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri to visit Bangladesh on December 9: Government​

Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri is scheduled to visit Bangladesh on December 9, marking the first high-level diplomatic engagement between the two countries since the interim government, led by Muhammad Yunus, took power on August 8. The visit comes amid heightened tensions in bilateral relations and escalating concerns about the safety of Hindus in Bangladesh following the ouster of Sheikh Hasina's government.

Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal confirmed the visit during a briefing on Friday, describing it as a structured diplomatic engagement.

"The Foreign Secretary will meet his counterpart and participate in several meetings. These consultations are an important part of our engagement with Bangladesh, and we look forward to the discussions," Jaiswal said.

Misri's visit occurs against the backdrop of significant unrest in Bangladesh, including the arrest of Chinmoy Krishna Das, a former spokesperson for the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON). Das was detained at Dhaka's Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on sedition charges for allegedly insulting the Bangladeshi national flag during a rally.

His arrest has sparked outrage among his supporters, leading to violent clashes with security forces that reportedly resulted in the death of a lawyer.

Das has been denied bail by a Chattogram court and remains in jail, a development that has added to the strain in India-Bangladeshi relations.

The visit also coincides with a reported rise in attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh since the change in government. The downfall of Sheikh Hasina's administration has led to increased concerns in India about the safety and security of the Hindu minority in the neighbouring country.

India is expected to address these concerns during Misri's meetings, emphasising the need for the Bangladeshi government to ensure the protection of all its citizens, particularly the minorities.

Modi Govt did roll the red carpet. Leftists in India tried to crush the bill. Many padosis were also crying wolf about the CAA bill.
The CAA removes barriers for acquiring Indian citizenship for Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians from the neighboring countries of Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan who arrived in India on or before 31 December 2014.

BJP has to amend the bill and remove the 2014 clause.

Regarding BD not accepting Muslims, well, it means either Muslims are safe in India or BD does not care about the Muslims in India. So much for Ummah thumpers like many here

I am not sure why India is so concerned about the priest's arrest. He is a Bangladeshi national living in Bangladesh. This is an internal matter of Bangladesh.

The priest allegedly disrespected the Bangladeshi flag. Therefore, he was arrested.

If he is found guilty, he may get a prison sentence. If he is not guilty, he should be set free.

Anybody can be arrested. Nobody is above the law.

Bangladesh Police files case against Hindu monk Chinmoy Das, his followers​

A case was filed against Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das and hundreds of his followers in Bangladesh in connection with the reported clash last month between police and the monk's supporters in Chattogram, who were arrested on sedition charges.

The case, filed by Enamul Haque, a Hefazat-e-Islam activist, named Das as the main accused alongside 164 identified people and up to 500 unidentified persons, according to a Bangladesh daily.

Haque alleged he was attacked by Das’ followers on November 26 at the Chittagong court premises for wearing traditional attire. He claimed the assault left him with a fractured right hand and head injuries, requiring hospital treatment. Haque attributed the delay in filing the complaint to his prolonged recovery.

Earlier, police registered three cases on November 27 at Kotwali Police Station against several people following clashes related to Das’ detention. Another case was lodged on December 3 by a businessman alleging an assault near Rangam Cinema Hall, implicating political activists and ISKCON members.

The violence escalated after Das, a former ISKCON member and spokesperson of the Bangladesh Sommilito Sanatani Jagaran Jote, was arrested at Dhaka’s Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on November 25. Protests erupted nationwide, including a demonstration in Chattogram where Assistant Government Prosecutor Saiful Islam Alif was killed.

Das remains in custody after a court deferred his bail hearing to January 2, citing a lack of legal representation.

Relations between India and Bangladesh have deteriorated since the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus took power in August, following the ouster of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Continued attacks on Hindus and Das’ arrest have further strained ties.

Why is India concerned? For the same reason why Bangladeshis and Pakistanis express their so-called 'concern' for 200 Million + muslims in India all the time. With their numbers and strength, Indian muslims are perfectly capable of taking care of themselves, unlike the Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh and Pakistan.

If Indian muslims can be 'internal matter' for Bangladeshis, it can work the same way for Bangladeshis hindus and India.

"Protect Minorities In Violence-Hit Bangladesh": Mamata Banerjee To Centre

The Centre must give protection to minorities in violence-hit Bangladesh, and bring back "those willing to return", urged Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday.

New Delhi has accused Bangladesh of failing to adequately protect its minority Hindu community from reprisal attacks since the August overthrow of ex-premier Sheikh Hasina in a student-led revolution.

The arrest of a prominent Hindu priest in Bangladesh on sedition charges last month further added to tensions between the two south Asian neighbours.

"We are also demanding protection for everyone. We want the Government of India to act. What do men by act? Provide security to people. Those who want to return, arrangements must be made for them to return," said Ms Banerjee.

"Not a single Indo-Bangladesh border has been shut. If it had been shut, we would have had instructions. We have no such instruction. This is a matter totally under the Government of India and we want them to protect minorities," she said.

The Chief Minister highlighted that a lot of people are coming through the border, which has not been closed.

"A lot of people are coming through the border. In some places the BSF is stopping and in some places, they are not stopping. Those who are coming through civil aviation, in planes, they are coming. Planes are running. Trains are running. People are coming. Those who have visas and passports are coming. It hasn't been shut," she said.

On Monday, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, in a meeting with Bangladesh Foreign Adviser Mohammad Touhid Hossain, conveyed that the attacks on religious institutions and places of worship are "regrettable".

Amid attacks and threats to Hindus in Dhaka, a minor girl, whose family are ISKCON devotees, has fled to India to save her life after threats from radical elements.

The minor was intercepted by the Border Security Force or BSF on Tuesday night from Fatehpur area of Chopra block in Uttar Dinajpur district. She has been sent to a shelter home.

Sources say, the minor and her family, residents of Panchagarh district of Bangladesh, are devotees of ISKCON.

Panchagarh is situated in Rangpur division an area where there have been attacks on minorities, especially the Hindu community.

The minor, say sources, was forced to flee to India and her intention was to take refuge at a relative's house in Belacoba in Jalpaiguri district in Bengal.

A relative of the minor girl who fled from Bangladesh to India, told reporters, "One of my relatives, my distant granddaughter, knows my phone number and that is why I am here at the police station. On that side, they are ISKCON devotees and that is why they were tortured. They threatened to kidnap her and fearing that she came here. They had taken my phone number for this purpose. That is why I have come to meet her."

"She told me that they told her that they would kidnap her because she is an ISKCON devotee and that was her only fault. She said they had come to her home to threaten her. They stay in Panchagarh in Bangladesh," the relative added.

Hindus constitute about 8 per cent of Bangladesh's 170 million population.

A nice short documentary regarding India's disinformation campaign against Bangladesh since the fall of Hasina's regime.

 

[sweep_shot]

A nice short documentary regarding India's disinformation campaign against Bangladesh since the fall of Hasina's regime.

Posting the article from the video's description:

1. The Collapse of Hasina's Regime
July 2024: a student-led mass uprising in Bangladesh gripped the nation. Sparked by peaceful calls for job quota reforms, the movement faced violent repression from Sheikh Hasina's regime. Under her direction, security forces and Awami League loyalists unleashed terror. The toll? Over 1,500 killed, 25,000 injured. On August 5, Hasina fled to India, leaving her decade-long authoritarian rule in shambles. Yet, what followed this historic event was an unprecedented wave of disinformation against Bangladesh, propagated by Indian media. Today, we’ll explore the roots of this campaign and uncover why it's happening.

2. A Flood of Disinformation
After Hasina’s fall, false stories spread like wildfire. Claims of countrywide Hindu persecution, exaggerated reports of temple attacks, and baseless accusations linking the uprising to extremist groups were all over the Indian media. Indian social media platforms circulated videos misidentifying Bangladeshi Muslims as Hindus. For example, a clip of actress Azmeri Haque Badhon was misused to portray her as a Hindu woman lamenting persecution. Such fabrications have been publicly refuted but continue to gain traction online. More recently, mainstream Indian media claimed that advocate Ramen Roy was brutally attacked for legally representing the Hindu religious leader Chinmoy Das arrested on sedition charges. The truth is, Ramen Roy is not even Chinmoy Das’ lawyer. Fact-checks debunked many such claims, exposing them as part of a larger narrative: to delegitimize the uprising and shield the Indian government from criticism over its support for Hasina’s failed regime. Why would Indian media engage in such extensive disinformation? The reasons are both political and strategic. Let’s delve into these.

3. The Real Motives Behind the Campaign
The disinformation campaign serves two purposes: For BJP, it’s about damage control—deflecting Congress’s attacks and portraying themselves as the sole defenders of Hindus in India and the region. The BJP’s troubles deepened when it faced key electoral losses in 2024. Karnataka fell to Congress in May, followed by defeats in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh. Congress blamed BJP's Bangladesh policy as a diplomatic failure. To counter, BJP reached into its Hindutva arsenal. By portraying the Bangladesh uprising as a threat to Hindus, they sought to consolidate their base and deflect criticism. Nowhere is this campaign more visible than in West Bengal, where cultural and geographical ties to Bangladesh amplify the rhetoric. BJP has doubled down on its Hindutva agenda here, framing itself as the protector of Bengali Hindus. Leaders like Suvendu Adhikari in West Bengal fueled th e narrative, claiming the uprising was orchestrated by extremists. The result? Rising tensions and communal polarization, even forcing Mamata Banerjee to adopt nationalist tones and make populist remarks to outmaneuver BJP in the West Bengal. The second purpose that the disinformation campaign serves is related to how strategically, India’s influence in Bangladesh is at stake. With Hasina gone, BJP fears losing its ally and the potential rise of a government less willing to cater to Indian regional interests, including counterterrorism, trade, and water-sharing agreements.

4. A Battle Beyond Borders
With more time passing, it is becoming clearer that this disinformation war is not just about controlling the narrative in Bangladesh—it’s a political chess game in India. While Bangladesh moves toward democratic renewal, its neighbor faces a test of integrity and accountability.

The question is: Will India’s media and political leaders embrace the truth, or will they continue to manipulate events for political gain?
