Hindus are here to stay in Bangladesh. They are the carriers of Bengali will continue to
Long live the Hindus

[vipendrasingh]

The title of the video says it all. The question is: Why do Bangaladeshi Hindus need security in the first place. This means that they're under attack.

[subhasisghosh]

Half baked news. Minorities have always been under threat right from when this was East Pakistan and now Bangladesh. The minority population here has come down from 22% in 1947 to 8% now. Numbers tell you the truth.

History of Durga puja in Bangladesh is older than history of Islam in Bangladesh, it is shameful that they needed to get security to celebrate the festival which is iconic to their land since thousands of years

[Antiestabbarood]

These are a muted celebration. There is no excitement on their faces

[Navneeth]

Dictator Hasina and RAW, always playing underground Hindus killing games. 😮

[only_for_funny_clip]

Due to Force conversation of Hindus in Bangladesh, Hindus decreased from 22 % to 8 % .

[Smiling-Monk]

I am bangladeshi Hindu I live in total fear 😒😒😒

[thedev-in_]

We stopped participating in this festival due to the security!

[kenadams]

A toxic book, cause of violence and instability all around the world

[youchwb]

Like Lebanon, save Bangers from radical Islam.

[farhanahamed]

save Bangladesh Hindus from 🇮🇳Godi media 😂😂😂

[shubhamrai]

DW news not even got 1 hindu journalist for this news

[webname]

According to the reporter, not a single temple is being attacked. Do you want me to believe that DW doesn't know about the attacks?

[krishnamenon]

Why only Dhakeshwari in Dhaka? How about a report from across Bangladesh, especially remote/rural locations?

[shantanurahut]

Security from whom ? That's the actual question to ask. A portion of citizen in a independent country needs protection to celebrate their religious festival - shameful.

[samip]

Can somebody tell me if they are so safe then why they need Security
