Several Indian-Americans are planning peaceful rallies in Washington D.C. and Chicago to protest against the violence faced by Hindus in Bangladesh. The first rally, called “Genocide of Hindus in Bangladesh,” will take place near the White House on Monday, December 9. The second rally, titled “Stop the Genocide: Save Hindu Lives in Bangladesh,” will be held in Chicago on Sunday, December 8.
Organizers say that what is happening in Bangladesh is not just a local issue; it is a serious humanitarian crisis that the whole world needs to pay attention to. They believe that genocide, which is the deliberate killing of a group of people, is a crime against humanity. They are urging the international community to step in, protect the people, and stop further harm.
Recently, there has been a shocking increase in violence against Hindus in Bangladesh. Utsav Chakrabarti, who leads HinduAction, is asking the current U.S. administration to do everything possible to help protect Hindus from radical groups in Bangladesh. Reports say that since the government change in Bangladesh on August 5, the Hindu community has suffered more than 200 attacks across about 50 districts.
