On Diwali, Hundreds attack Hindu homes and temples in Bangladesh, Police were silent during attack

[kobiraaz]

Diwali is Deepaboli in Bengali, Holi is Dol or Doljatra.......these were always there, with Bengali Hindus going extinct from Bangladesh; you are unlikely to know all this.

Never Heard Diwali, Dipaboli was rarely used too.. All I got were Invitation to The Kali Pooja where they used to light Candles... Our neighbors always used the term " Kali pooja '..

This is very sad news specially on a religious time like Diwali very sorry to hear my heart goes out to these people in distress.

Actually you guys became more like gujrati hindus who lost their own bengali identity. How did i know durga or sarasati or even sankranti. Because these are bengali hindu festival.

Actually indian hindus took those festival to ne next level of vulgarity.

Bro Some of these Hindus have made it an art of Posting derogatory photos and status from anonymous Facebook profile. This has sensitized the common muslims.
Any single trace and they explode.

Both the parties are guilty for the ongoing tension.

Thank you for the DP..Bangladesh is yourr nation..Help your helpless fellow countrymen.

The Only difference is in Gaza it is state sponsored. In Bangladesh It was done by hooligans. Big difference.

Bangladesh is our neighbour, and India is helping the helpless Bengali Hindu minorities of Bangladesh by sheltering them in here since 1940s.........my native place of Ashoknagar-Kalyangarh was actually the world's largest refugee settlement area, south Kolkata is also mostly populated by the Bengalis who lost their homes once in Muslim Bangladesh because of their different religion, and now south Kolkata is a vibrant place.

Btw, in Bangladesh also it is very much state sponsored, it always was, but in a subtle twisted way.....the job of persecution has been outsourced to the radical mullahs by giving them a free hand and immunity...

That 'lighting candle' part is 'deepaboli', it used to be done with 'pradeep or deep', then came the candles, the 'tuni lamps', and now LED lamps...but 'pradeep' is also used even today..

That 'lighting candle' part is 'deepaboli',

How is Kali Puja and Deepaboli same? Kali Puja refers to the worship of Goddess Kali while in Deepaboli, people worship Goddess Laxmi... It's like calling Guru Nanak Gurpurab and Diwali same...

Bengalis have never been communal. Even our mullah/maulanas are tolerant towards the minorities. One odd incident here and there does not make us communal like India where Muslims are killed everyday. SHW / BAL govt must take total/direct responsibility for this incident, and the growing anti-Hindu sentiment in our society. Hindus under BAL are getting way too much lift - much more than their numbers would qualify.

"Enlightened Resistance" supporter speaks again. Complains about SHW/BAL in his anti-India tirade. No surprise.

Can't even see the irony that "communal" India provides a parliamentary platform for owaisi. But then when has BD been known for intelligence? Certainly can't expect it from one that touts his slavish mentality in operation gibraltar as his biggest achievement in life....one he still cannot reconcile with what happened 6 years later as a thanks to BD people support.

BAL zindabaad. Jamati traitors (esp those in refuge in Canada) murdabaad.

If jats, Rajputs and other hindus had united with Marathas at Panipath this would not have happened....

Atleast now we should listen to Shiv sena.

Bal Thackeray’s Shiv Sena-BJP government gave the historic warship INS Vikrant a Rs 6.5 crore grant. But the grant extended the warship’s life by a decade. He is a successor SC Bose.

Thanks to Marathas atleast hindus of West Bengal and Orissa can live in peace....

The Expeditions in Bengal was taken by the Maratha Empire after the successful campaign in Carnatic at the Battle of Trichinopolly. The leader of the expedition was Maratha Maharaja Raghuji of Nagpur. Raghoji was able to annex Orissa permanently as he successfully exploited the chaotic conditions prevailing in the region after the death of their Governor Murshid Quli Khan in 1727.

Maratha Ditch (archaic spelling: Mahratta Ditch) was a three-mile long moat excavated around Kolkata (then known as Calcutta) in the present Indian state of West Bengal, in 1742, as a protection against possible attacks by marauding Bargis, as the Marathas were known locally. The Bargis, however, never came to the city. Later, the ditch proved to be useless when the Nawab of Bengal, Siraj ud-Daulah, came and ransacked the British settlement in 1756.[1] The ditch was never completely built. It was mostly filled up in 1799 to build the Circular Road and the balance was filled up in 1892–93. It earned Kolkatans the sobriquet "Ditchers". The area bound by the ditch was considered to be the original town of Kolkata.

1.Some Hindu houses in the locality were set on fire last night. The cops have arrested two local BAL leader for organizing this to grab landed property.
2. It is clear that BAL are orchestrating these attacks on Hindus to frighten them to remain their vote bank.
3.The timing of these attacks are also significant. SHW is about to go on a darshan of her lord the Butcher. These incidents will strengthen her arguments to keep her in power further.

Could keep sitting in Canada and crying about it. We are not done with your country and wont be for a very long time.

When you finally decide to resist, we will wipe you out. Right now we are busy exploiting you, so you are useful to keep alive. Don't expect that to continue forever.

Border shooting and Pilkhana is a sign of things thousands of times bigger to come in future when the time is right.

This time the performance was relatively poor, but don't worry, in the mean time another attack on Hindus happened in Bangladesh....a Bangladeshi minister has also abused the Bengali Hindu minority victims with terms like "MALAUNER BACCHA".........it's a 'work in progress', soon the majority Bangladeshis' dream of making Bangladesh a 'pure' Islamic country completely free of those Bengali Hindu minority 'malauner bacchas' will be fulfilled....don't lose heart.

Well, it is not surprising considering the law and order situation is not good in village areas. Appears to be a land issue. History appears to sadly repeat itself. The Hindus in Dhaka celebrated Durga Puja without incident though.
