Resignation of Hindu Teachers Sparks Outcry in Bangladesh

Radharamn Das, Vice-President of Iskcon Kolkata, has raised alarms over the alleged mistreatment of Hindu teachers in Bangladesh, claiming that a teacher was forced to resign after being insulted by former Muslim students. He shared a video purportedly showing the teacher in distress, surrounded by men humiliating him, and stated that thousands of Hindus are being pressured to resign from their jobs. This situation follows a wave of violence against the Hindu community after Sheikh Hasina's resignation, which has led to daily attacks and harassment from Islamist groups, particularly targeting educators. Reports suggest that around 60 Hindu teachers and professionals have been coerced into resigning recently. Muhammad Yunus, the interim head of Bangladesh’s government, has pledged to protect minority populations, but critics view his assurances as ineffective amidst ongoing violence. The deteriorating conditions for Hindus in Bangladesh have raised significant concerns among Indian officials and the international community.
