  • A common question in the comments: "Why are Hindu homes being vandalised if there isn't an anti-Hindu sentiment?" The same reason Muslim homes were vandalized during the Babri Masjid destruction? Periods of instability have always been fertile ground for minorities being attacked in this subcontinent. It’s despicable in every way, but it has historically been a reality.
  • we shit talk about india most days of the year but there’s always that one day somewhere which just makes you go, “Thank god i was born on this side of the border”. Could we be better? hell yeah!! But we could be much worse as well and i am glad we aren't.
  • Says these protests aren't anti-hindu but anti-india then says Hindu homes have been burnt and vandalised 🤡🤡
  • @parvadhami980
    This is the age of "South Asian Spring" Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Burma, Bangladesh
  • Just saw so called students tore down Mujeebur Rehman's statue . Are they not Razakars? Imagine if someone breaks down Gandhi's statue? Will that person be called a patriot?
  • @Saks6951
    SG interrupted him when he was saying about attacks on hindus.
  • @parvadhami980
    Wasn't Bangladesh a Utopia a few years ago? Shekhar ji even made a couple of episodes on the same 😂
  • @ashishb
    I am scared to think about what will happen to Hindus in Bangaldesh now. Those who were against CAA should be ashemed of themselves now.
  • US making sure India becomes a Israel in SE Asia 😢. Thanks dear friend
  • Hasina was the problem, but without Hasina there"s have a lot of problems!
  • Non chalant reaction when the guy is speaking about attacks on Hindus says a lot about so called journalism..
  • Few weeks back oli came in Nepal and now this CIA dirty game in Bangladesh, just when I thought India fixed Maldives problem they have no much bigger problem on their east and probably modi govt biggest foreign policy challenge in years, if regime goes back Khalida zia party it will be really unfortunate for Bangladesh and very bad situation for new Delhi, finger Crossed, US don't created another Libya in Bangladesh
  • Hindu people are now living in fear in Bangladesh.Houses and shops are vandalised and temples are destroyed. Please pray for us.
  • 21:25 "Too pro Hindu" - That is the main reason why this student protest is successful. Jamat, Islamist has used this and used this well.
  • The scenes from PM palace resembled the ones from Srilankan presidential palace in 2022. One thing that the governments of the subcontinent need to learn together is how to deal with protesters. Indian farmers, students & other aspects of the society have presented a good example of how protests must be carried out. Now is the time for authorities to learn

    As an Indian, I think Mujibur Rahman's statue should not have been vandalised. The protesters had issues with Sheikh Hasina but her father was the founding father. So they shd have respected his legacy.
