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 didn’t 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, “peace” 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 community’s 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.

As of now the murder of Dipu Chandra Das has seen page 1 coverage in India, Bangladesh and Nepal - where it is dominating news - but zero coverage in western media. Let's hope that changes. Western media outlets all have South Asian correspondents.....

@PurolatorHelp Absolutely disappointing service. Pickup was scheduled between 1 and 5. I've been calling to check where the guy is. Turns up at 6, buzzes once and leaves. This is a condo building. Least he can do is contact security

An open letter to #NadavLapid following his criticism of #KashmirFiles. It’s not in Hebrew because I wanted our Indian brothers and sisters to be able to understand. It is also relatively long so I’ll give you the bottom line first. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED. Here’s why:

[Amy Mek @AmyMek]

Hindus saying "Jai Shri Ram" means "Glory to Lord Rama" - its a beautiful, peaceful greeting

Muslims are trying to trick naive Westerners into believing its a "terrorist war cry" associated with Hindutva (aka Hinduism)

The only "war cry" the world hears daily is "Allahu Akbar"

[Dr David Frawley @davidfrawleyved]

Attacks on Hindus have been going on in the form of foreign invasions, colonial rule, leftist agendas, and conversion efforts. The difference is today Hindus are fighting back at media, cultural, legal, political and economic levels. Can no longer be silenced.

[Hindu American Foundation @HinduAmerican]

In the @nytimes picking sides in its coverage of #Leicester, while completely ignoring the Smethwick temple attack, Hindus are victimized again. 🧵

[Hindu American Foundation @HinduAmerican]

We appreciate @AryaCanada’s tireless advocacy for Hindu Canadians.

Well done!
