In a viral video, a Bangladeshi Hindu woman’s plea for safety highlights the severe plight of minorities amid escalating violence. The footage shows her anguished appeal as her home is vandalized by self-proclaimed revolutionaries, and her family receives death threats urging them to flee to India.
My heart is breaking, my eyes are crying. I believe in the power of prayer, I believe God answers prayers. Everybody please say a prayer for the Hindus in Bangladesh. God really does answer prayers. Please pray and help if you can. Tell everybody to pray🙏 #BangladeshViolence pic.twitter.com/N3XRfvfMeT

"My house was vandalized by the so-called revolutionaries. My family and I are getting death threats and we're being forced to leave Bangladesh and flee to India. Am I not a citizen of Bangladesh? Am I not free to live here? Why should my family and I look for shelter in India? Is it because we are Hindus?" she cries out.
The political instability following Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s resignation has created a power vacuum exploited by Islamist extremists, leading to increased attacks on the Hindu minority. Reports describe homes and temples, including ISKCON and the Kali temple, being looted and burned. Women are abducted, and violence runs rampant, with extremists blatantly ignoring laws.
And the genocide of Hindus by IsIamists in #Bangladesh continues...

Eyewitnesses and videos reveal a community in fear, with the government’s response criticized as slow and insufficient. On Sunday, violence peaked, resulting in hundreds of deaths, including Haradhan Roy, a Hindu councillor. An indefinite curfew and internet shutdown followed as clashes intensified.
International human rights organizations have condemned the violence, urging immediate action to protect Hindus. However, with authorities struggling to manage the crisis, the situation remains critical.
