I am not against taking Pakistan and Bangladesh to task. But I know nothing is going to happen. Th best way to ask Hindus to return to India from these pathetic situations. This is not recommended in Kashmir which is a part of India.
Isn't it surprising that we cannot find words stronger than "discrimination" to understand why the population of Hindus in Pakistan went from 20 to 2% and in Bangladesh from 50 to 10%. I think I can think of some -- "Government sponsored threat of murder".
We Indians are living in a hell-hole of our own making. We are lead by the blind and the devil. Our intellectuals are in a dream world of their own making -- much like a drug induced hyper-state.
The end result is all encompassing weakness -- we are forced to be friends with thugs like Musharraf or Khalida (one justifies murder in most eloquent ways -- the other lies in most eloquent ways !!) -- we are left with no strength to call a spade a spade --- and have to come up with excuses for all our failings.

Mr. Khalid bin Laden, had muslims been discriminated in india as in pak or bangladesh, u wud never have zaheer, kaif, azhar in cricket team, no amir,salman,sharrukh, a r rehman in movies and no zakir hussain, a p j kalam as president. The population of moslems in india has inflated many many times compared to that of Hindus in pak, bangla or kashmeer post 1947. do u need more proofs?? so please stop this nonsense when we are talking about a serious world issue. Pakistan is a rogue state and u can never compare it with india.
It is immaterial that Hindus are discriminated against in Bangladesh, Muslims in India and all over the world. The crux of the matter is it is minority which bears the brunt everywhere. Be it Bangladesh, Pakistan or India.....
To imply that just because India is constittionally secular there is no discrimination is to deny the obvious. Similarly, to deny if there is no systematic genocide occuring everytime during riots against muslims is denying the obvious once again.
Similarly, not to acknowledge that Pakistan and Bangladesh commit harakiri against minorities is ignorance.
But there is a difference. In Pakistan and Bangladesh, the minority among the people do it. In India, the government does it.

Well Khalid u need to check ur facts.
If govt sponsors such anti minority activity in india and a "small group" of people in the case of pakistan and bangladesh as u said then why is it that the population of muslims today in india is much higher than what it was during 1947 and is projected to be around 40-50% by 2050 whereas in pakistan it has gone down from around 20+ to 2% which is alarming....even in bangladesh it has gone down to 10%......
That's very inaccurate. It's the ideology of Pakistan and Bangladesh, as well as the Kashmiri movement, that is partly responsible for the drastic reduction in the Hindu population in these areas. An ideology that gives murderous mobs sanction for their horrible deeds, and protection from any punitive action.
Hindus are by and large a peaceful community and if what the report says is true, I deplore strongly the atrocities committed on them. I hope the govt of India takes adequate steps to ensure that the govt of pak and bangladesh to their utmost to ensure their safety-personal and religious.Barbarism is not pardoned in any religion. But the topic title is misleading and also other topics like Hindus are cowards...I dont think so. The media has to give proper titles for the articles and not try to evoke sensationalism. With Regards and peace to all my Hindu brothers Ahmed.
Well, heres an article that I have been waiting to hear from the English media in India! Theres atleat one brave jornalist who is not afraid of being branded 'communal'! I cannot agree more with what you have said in this article! Even the NDA Govt. headed by the BJP usually known to the western meida as the 'Hindu Nationalist' Party, decided to keep mum about the killings of hindus in Bangladesh in fear of losing ground with an already agitated muslim population in India, thanks to Mr. Modi! And all the 'secular' thinking people in India, from politicians to socialities to film stars who voice their opinions so well about the Gujrat episode, surprisingly have not uttered a word about the 'ethnic cleansing' thats been taking place right in our backyard for more than a decade now! Anyways, I hope articles such as these will throw some light on the plight of hindus in our neighbouring countires so that atleast the hindus in this country can raise their voce and pressurise the Indian Govt. in doing something for them.
The present condition of hindus in kashmir/pak/bangladesh also throughout India is the direct outcome of politics during and before 1947. Hindus are not cowards ! and it can revealed with our history.
