Hindu American groups flew an airline banner over New York, calling for urgent global intervention to stop violence against Hindus in Bangladesh. The banner circled the Statue of Liberty, drawing attention to the ongoing attacks targeting the Hindu community. With Bangladesh’s Hindu population dropping from 20% in 1971 to 8.9% today, recent reports highlight over 250 attacks since August 2024. Activist Sitangshu Guha stated, “Hindus in Bangladesh are on the verge of extinction. If Bangladesh becomes Hindu-free, it will become Afghanistan 2.0.” Calls for UN action and economic boycotts of Bangladeshi garments are intensifying.
