Bangladeshi Americans Urge Trump to Protect Hindus in Bangladesh

Bangladesh Hindu Rights: Bangladeshi-origin American Hindus, Buddhists, and Christians have called on newly elected U.S. President Donald Trump to intervene in protecting religious and ethnic minorities in Bangladesh.

Call for Intervention to Protect Minorities

The group raised concerns about the existential threat posed by Islamist forces to minority communities in Bangladesh. They urged Trump to ensure the immediate release of Hindu saint Chinmoy Krishna Das and address the growing threat of radicalism in the region.

Recommendations to the U.S. Government

In a memorandum to Trump, the group suggested linking Bangladesh’s participation in UN peacekeeping missions to ending internal ethnic and religious persecution.

Enacting a Minority Protection Act to officially recognize minorities and indigenous groups.
Establishing safe zones for minority communities.
Introducing a separate electoral system for minorities.
Enforcing laws against hate speech and incitement to safeguard religious practices and cultural heritage.

Impact of Rising Radicalism

The group highlighted the far-reaching consequences of growing extremism in Bangladesh, warning of its implications not only for South Asia but for global stability.
