Forget safety of Hindus in Bangladesh, Indian should now be concerned about the safety of Hindus in west Bengal. Bangladesh was rocked by a series of communal riots in October 2021 during the minority Hindu Durga Puja festival. The after effect of Bangladesh October 2021 communal riots People in various places of Bangladesh are protesting against Bangladesh October 2021 riots People in New Delhi are protesting against Bangladesh October 2021 riots People in California (USA) are protesting against Bangladesh October 2021 riots. Democrat USA politician Tulsi Gabbard protested. India’s Modi government also immediately asked Bangladesh to protect minorities.
