Alarming decrease in Hindu population in Bangladesh

[Jade]

India should wait and watch. If the persecution on Hindus don't stop, then India should intervene (aka 1971) and partition Bangladesh into two part: one for Muslims and one for Hindus.

No Muslim from West Bengal has ever moved to Bangladesh of all places in recent times. In fact there have been an incoming migration of BD Muslims after BD's independence.

There are infact very few Bengali Muslim in WB and those who still live there are in Muslim majority area like Murshidabad or in Calcutta. Outside that area there are hardly any Muslim left.

That enclave was surrounded by Bangladeshi territory and so people there, mostly Muslims, naturally would like to opt out for Bangladesh and wouldn't like to leave their land and property.

Bangladesh is poorer than all his bordering neighbours, you don't have to make me rub it off on your face every time.

West Bengal is probably most secular and tolerant society in subcontinent, no Muslim or any other religious minority is discriminated here.

That is not correct according to Hindus who regularly visit their relatives in WB. Someway Tripura is better than WB when it comes to peasant class.

guys bd is a muslim country and its expected that no one else can thrive.
i can only feel sorry for the hindus in BD and vow that India will never have a majority of these kind of people, else my existence is in threat.

What do you know about the real conditions of BD Hindus? Nothing, but a report written by that wicked Shoaib Chowdhury. He has clearly falsified the data to look BD hindus are leaving under pressure. This is not the truth, not even a small part of truth.

The truth is Hindus are more highly educated than the Muslims. They work as teachers in the schools, colleges and universities, journalists, doctors, engineers, central/local bureaucrats, police, all the govt offices, police and even in BGB. But, they do not usually work in the defence forces of Bangladesh.

Ask this Shoaib Ch. to take a survey on their occupations and see the truth by yourself. Hindus are certainly not a persecuted group of people. yet, they go to India for many social reasons. It is the marriage of their children. It may be difficult for many to get matching bride with correct Caste in BD. This is the main reason that they prefer to migrate to India where their own Bangal people also live. But, the number is small.

Only fraction of total Muslim population are Urdu speaking and they live in old Calcutta, places like Metia Burj, Park Circus etc. There are sizable population of Bengali Muslims in all districts.

Out of 25% Muslim in WB 15% are non Bengali. That was your own statement in the other thread.

What is not correct? I have never been to Tripura but Tripura has slightly higher HDI than West Bengal. However West Bengal is in different league than Bangladesh at least when HDI is concerned.

Not sure when I made that statement. Anyway here's the breakdown of Muslim population in WB. You will find Urdu speakers only in Calcutta.

Anyway comments in Prothom Alo page have been enlightening. Here's one Aditya Biswas, another Bangladeshi Hindu who's inherently loyal to India according to BD posters here.

Very sad newse as i am a hindu but i never wanna leave my country. because of this is my country and i love my country. from my heart..

Let's see how long will he be able to carry the same sentiment.

I would like to correct one thing. A Muslim in India prefer to study Urdu in addition to Hindi, English and his native language. For this reason the muslims in west Bengal are quite capable of speaking in Urdu/Hindi while the Bangali Hindus are not.

If language is a criteria that distinguishes people as Urdu, Gujrati, Maratha, Hindi or Bangla speaker, you will find that the west Bengali Muslims are more like the Muslims of other parts of India, they prefer to speak in Urdu. They are as good in reading, writing and speaking in Urdu as a Muslim from other regions are. Their mindset is different from ours.

So, this Bangali and non-Bangali Muslim distinction may be less valid when it is Kolkata. I want to hear comments on my observations from unbiased and knowledgeable Indians.

S[eaking of Metia Burj...one can easily find a large population of Bengali Muslims (mainly Bangladeshis/clothes traders from bangladesh and their relatives) in there. Calcutta has a high populationof Bengalis Muslims mostly hidden in the society due to more popularity of non bengali muslims in calcutta.

So the descendant of Mogul still respected as King of India??? ;-)

But in a long run this is good for India. Persecution on Hindus will give a valid reason and humanitarian reason for India to intervene in Bangladesh, and break it into two. A 100% Muslim state and the other a secular state. India should not pass these opportunities. It did in 1971, and it should do it again.

lol..for common India...a muslim is a muslim..no even bothers top think about mughals and and all that crap...popularity in the sense that more non bengali muslims are active in calcutta...they are more involved in trade, business, politics, crimes,etc. thus when someone pictures a muslim person in calcutta..he doesnt think of a bengali muslim.

Are you a born retard to speak of war and destruction? Can India has the power to do wht a retard like you propose? Seems you represnt an equally retard Indian govt. Ask it to invade and wait for the intended results.

Buddy, the reason behind the acceptance of Islam by Hindus and their emigration is the matter of discussion. It isn't about the religion's superiority or anything like that, the reason may be completely different.

If I have to pick from being a Hindu or protection/ stopping discrimination of my family and kids, I will rather change to the religion of the majority or leave the society and settle where I can practice the former one. Those who can't emigrate and can't cope up with the daily difficulties they go through , conversion will always be the route out.

One has to understand the Survival mode of the humans too. In Orissa, people who were dying of hunger were converted by Christians for two time meal. Any person will pick Christianity if it avoids the death of his kid due to hunger.

Instead of bashing each other, we have to look at the problem within our own and other countries and discuss about the possible solution.
