At around 9 o’clock at night on Sunday, Feb 23, 2025, some terrorists set ablaze a Hindu house. This is the primary residence of Mr. Ashesh Sarkar, a Hindu religious minority, a teacher by profession in the area. His house is completely burned down due to the arson attack. Watch the video of the blaze posted on Facebook by someone who described the victim as his well respected teacher and a senior brother.

This is not an isolated incident in Thakurgaon district or Bangladesh as such terrorist attacks have now become daily phenomenon in Dr. Muhammad Yunus led Bangladesh since August 5, 2024. Another Hindu house in the area that was the primary residence of one Mr. Ishwar Daktar was burned down on the previous day that is Feb 22, 2o25. Hindu religious minorities are a primary target of such violent attacks who are disproportionately affected. Victims remain silent to avoid further attacks given the perpetrators are almost always are at large being protected by the law enforcement authorities namely the Police, Military and Judiciary of Bangladesh Government.

We, the Hindu religious minorities of Bangladesh, urge the world leaders and the humanity to save our lives and help us stay alive.
