Mymensingh: Why is Bangladesh's Sufi Land a Hindu Killing Ground?
- •Bangladesh sees rising anti-India activities and religion-based violence, intensifying near elections.
- •Mymensingh, historically a land of Sufi peace, is now an international headline for violence against Hindus.
- •Recent incidents include the mob killing of Dipu Das and the shooting of Brajendra Biswas by Noman Mia.
- •Hindus constitute a vulnerable minority (3-4%) in Mymensingh, a predominantly Muslim district (96%).
