West's 'Moral Failure' on Bangladeshi Hindus: A Critical Look at Global Silence
- •The West is accused of "moral failure" and "abject hypocrisy" for ignoring atrocities against minority Hindus in Bangladesh, exemplified by the lynching of Dipu Chandra Das.
- •Western media like BBC and Al Jazeera are criticized for creating false equivalences, deflecting blame from the persecution of Hindus in Bangladesh by comparing it to incidents in India.
- •The BBC's coverage is highlighted for its structural and narrative bias, often sympathetic to Pakistani-Islamist positions, influenced by Pakistani-origin journalists.
- •Western discourse struggles to acknowledge Hindus as victims of genocide or ethnic cleansing, often framing them as a "majority" and "oppressors," even in cases of systematic violence.
- •Indian "fifth columnists" like Dhruv Rathee and Arfa Khanum Sherwani are criticized for adopting this Western narrative, remaining silent on Hindu suffering while vocal on other global issues.
Why It Matters: The West's selective outrage and media bias are failing Bangladeshi Hindus, driven by postcolonial narratives and geopolitical alignments.
