A PRAYER FOR THE SOUL OF DIPU CHANDRA DAS
History remembers sacrifice. But today, the soil that was once liberated with Indian blood is being stained with the blood of innocent minorities.
In 1971, our Indian Armed Forces stood for the oppressed. Our brave soldiers didnโt just fight a war; they fought for the identity and dignity of millions of people of what is now called Bangladesh. Nearly 3,900 Indian soldiers sacrificed their lives and over 10,000 were injured to ensure the birth of Bangladesh. We gave our lives so that others could live in peace.
But today, โpeaceโ is just a word; persecution is the reality. According to the Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council, 2,442 incidents of violence against minorities were documented between August 2024 and July 2025. Over 150 temples have been vandalized and desecrated. These are not just acts of unrest or random chaos; it is a deliberate, targeted strike at the heart of a communityโs faith and its right to exist.
The pattern of targeting is clear and cruel - Last year, we saw the unjust jailing of the ISKCON monk Chinmoy Krishna Das and the brutal lynching of the Communist party leader Pradip Bhowmik. And now the horrific murder of Dipu Chandra Das in Mymensingh. This young man was not just killed; he was subjected to a level of savagery that shames the 21st century. Reports confirm he was lynched in public by a frenzied mob, his body was then hanged from a tree, and he was set on fire. To witness such a demonic act in broad daylight is a sign of a complete collapse of humanity and the rule of law. My heart goes out to the soul of Dipu Das. I pray for his peace and offer my deepest condolences to his grieving family, who have had to endure a loss so gruesome it is beyond comprehension.
The demographic reality of the region is a chilling testament to this ongoing tragedy. In 1951, Hindus made up 22% of the population. Today, that number has plummeted to below 8%. This isn't just migration; it is a systematic persecution that the world chooses to ignore.
I call upon the Leadership of Bangladesh to move beyond mere words of condemnation and restore stability. You must ensure the safety of every Hindu, Buddhist, and Christian citizen. The perpetrators of the Mymensingh horror must face the ultimate justice to show that no mob is above the law. I also urge World Leaders and the international community @UNHumanRights@UN to open their eyes to the plight of minorities in Bangladesh. Selective silence is a betrayal of human rights.
The blood of our 1971 martyrs was shed for a land of peace, not a land of persecution. We cannot, and will not, remain silent.

It was really nice experience to be part of organizing team who successfully organised a national symposium , where we had participants & delegates from all over the country (from Kashmir in North to Tamil Nadu in South, from Gujarat in west to Arunachal Pradesh in north-east).
Advancing Chemistry for a Sustainable Future!
The National Symposium 2025, organized by the Department of Chemistry, Royal Global University, and funded by the Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF), Govt. of India, brought together over 180 participants including distinguished speakers, researchers, and young scholars from across the country.
The two-day event began with a heartfelt tribute to Prof. Mihir Kanti Chaudhuri, recipient of the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Award and former Chief Advisor of RGU, and to Zubeen Garg, the heartthrob of Assam.
From insightful sessions to dynamic discussions, the symposium celebrated innovation, learning, and collaboration in the pursuit of a sustainable future through chemistry.

On #PartitionHorrorsRemembranceDay, we recall the countless people who were impacted and greatly suffered due to the horrors of Partition. It is also a day to pay tributes to their courage, which illustrates the power of human resilience. A lot of those impacted by Partition went on to rebuild their lives and attain immense success. Today, we also reiterate our commitment to always protect the bonds of unity and brotherhood in our nation.
The Gordon Research Conference on #GreenChemistry has been much more than a conference; it is a vibrant community dedicated to building a better future through chemistry. Thank you for inviting me to this prestigious event and, more importantly, to this incredible community!
Happy to share our latest research article in JOC...
