Amid escalating protests in Bangladesh that led to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's resignation on August 5, 2024, concerns have surged regarding the safety of Hindus, a minority group facing increasing violence. Actress and BJP politician Rupali Ganguly and spiritual leader Sadhguru have both called for global awareness and support for the vulnerable minorities in Bangladesh. Reports indicate attacks on Hindu properties and temples, with significant unrest stemming from a controversial job quota system. The Israeli ambassador to India also expressed alarm over these attacks, highlighting the broader implications of the violence. In response to the crisis, Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has assured that the Indian government is closely monitoring the situation of its nationals in Bangladesh, with about 19,000 Indians currently residing there. The political turbulence has resulted in the formation of an interim government led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, further complicating the situation.
