Bengaluru, Aug 16: Bangladesh is and will always be a product of Bangla pride and Hindus are integral part of Bangladesh. Sheikh Hasina has been a friend of India. India won’t ditch her friends, Indian government is not interfering with Bangladesh’s political crisis but it is only concerned about the safety of Bangla minorities. Although Bangladesh is a sovereign country, the sentiments and emotional bond continues with India as we all are part of great civilization, said Dr.Ram Madhav, author and thinker.
Dr. Ram Madhav was delivering a talk on ‘Developments in India’s Neighborhood: Bangladesh and Others’, organized by Manthana, Karnataka at RV Teacher’s College auditorium, Jayanagar. Dr Ram Madhav began his address by giving a brief outlook of the history of Bangladesh, it’s creation, relations with Pakistan, and the student protests that led to the fall of Sheikh Hasina’s government. Speaking further, he said, “Nearly, 1.4 crore Hindus are integral part of Bangladesh and all the minorities including Buddhists and Christians have accepted Bangladesh as their country. There are challenges for minorities in Bangladesh, but we hope they come out of this turmoil and have a government soon that will take care of their safety and secured.”
Talking about Sheikh Hasina’s role in protecting Hindus in her country, Ram Madhav said, she has done a lot things to protect Hindus in Bangladesh despite a few hiccups, we hope and pray the coming government in the Bangla will also take care of Hindus there.
The talk was followed by Q and A session where he reiterated that asking Hindus to migrate to India enmasse is not a solution but empowering them and ensuring their safety under a good government that will adhere to it’s founding principles is the lasting solution.
