Abstract

A coalition of American NGOs, scholars, religious leaders, and civil rights advocates are urging the United Nations to recognize the ongoing genocide of Hindus in Bangladesh under the current "military-Islamist" interim government led by Muhammad Yunus. They have highlighted the violence and atrocities committed against religious minorities since the regime change in Dhaka, calling for immediate intervention to protect the Hindu community. The report, authored by former UN officer Mohinder Gulati and renowned scholars, details the alarming rise in gang rapes, murders, and desecration of temples faced by rural Hindu communities in Bangladesh, emphasizing the need for international recognition and intervention to ensure the safety and dignity of Hindus in the country.
