Who is Chinmoy Krishna Das and Why He Is In Bangladesh’s Jail? Know Everything About Him Here.

Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari is a well-known leader in the Hindu community of Bangladesh. Recently, he was arrested on serious charges, which has led to a lot of protests from his supporters. Many people are worried about how minorities, like Hindus, are treated in the country.

Chinmoy Krishna Das is the head of Pundarik Dham, a center for the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (Iskcon) in Chittagong. He also speaks on behalf of an organization called Sanatan Jagaran Mancha, which focuses on protecting Hindu rights. Since August 5, when a new government took over, he has become a strong voice against violence toward Hindus and other minorities. He is from Satkania Upazila in Chittagong and is known for his powerful religious speeches, earning him the nickname ‘Shishu Bokta’ because of his early popularity as a preacher. From 2016 to 2022, he served as the secretary for Iskcon in Chittagong and took over as the leader of Pundarik Dham in 2007. Many Hindu leaders say that Sanatan Jagaran Mancha was created to help Hindus during times of unrest, and Chinmoy represents the Hindu community as a whole, not just Iskcon. On November 22, he spoke at a protest in Rangpur to speak out against the violence toward Hindus.

His arrest has sparked concerns. Although the precise reason for his arrest is not clear, reports say he is accused of disrespecting the Bangladeshi flag during a rally in October. He and 18 others were charged with sedition for raising a saffron flag above the national flag in Chittagong on October 25, which some people called “desecration.”
