The old man has forgotten that Bangladeshis were "not Islamic enough" as per West Pakistanis

[akbhardwaj]

Population of Hindu reduced from 30 % to 8% in Bangladesh and in Pakistan from 27% to 2% but in India Muslim grew in population..so no parallel to Hindu tolerance..he tried to be idealist but ground reports are exactly opposite

[lovelife]

Yunus should also understand mindset of hindu majority nation

[wucwycl]

Cannot compare tolerant Hindus with Muslims. Don't blame India for losing its losing patience.

[m-shinas]

This man speaks the truth💯
Those who spread hate & don't the protect the minorities of their country r preaching others... What an irony😂

[pradyumnanayak]

What type of student movement is it in Bangladesh where undergarments of Shiekh Hasina were displayed by the students??? Very strange student movement, I fail to understand. I may be an idiot.

[synergiesghosh]

Failed journo talking to a failed journo from a failed state...

[soumitrasen]

What a hypocrite. We all know that peaceful majority had always been rendered irrelevant by the radicals. When Hindu minorities have been reduced to less than 7% from 28% what is this gentleman talking about Indian misengagement with a Muslim majority country. Hundreds and thousands of Bangladeshis comes to India every year for various reasons and they are most welcome here. He will never admit that there is an underlying hatred against Hindus per se and that is why there's a persecution of Hindus in Bangladesh. No amount of sophisticated argument can cover the underlying problem of hatred towards Hindus.

Barkha stop shedding this crocodile tears. Why can't you ask him A SIMPLE QUESTION Hindus
28% to 7%.
While in india it's the muslim population is growing.
And this man has the audacity to compare the situations. Why can't you call a spade a spade???

[zsebrkl]

India should not be so weak..while dealing with neighbours.

[saravanaprabu]

So muslim majority countries have right to be bigots?, what is the issue with all media persons from bd highlighting this point as excuse, ok only 2-3 journos from ter giving interview to all media here it seems!

[sameerchaturvedi]

Instead of outright condemnation, South Asian nations should introspect on their treatment of minorities to determine if they truly uphold liberal values. India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, among others, must examine their policies and decision-making processes. Minority groups should have autonomy over their affairs, with reforms, if necessary, initiated and led by the communities themselves.

Many Bangladeshi citizens view the recent student protests as a revolutionary struggle against authoritarian rule. While this is understandable, it does not explain the attacks on Awami League supporters, including celebrities. What about the targeting of Bangladeshi Hindus and their temples? Despite the existence of Muslims who protect their Hindu neighbors, underlying communalism is evident within society. A people-centered democratic model is needed for the country.

To uphold the principles of secularism, a strong argument can be made for removing Islam as the state religion of Bangladesh. While some believe religious belief can strengthen secular credentials, others question the need for a state-imposed religious identity, especially one established by a dictator in the mid-1980s

[aadiraj]

Yes, we have failed to understand how a civil society of B'desh can support bra, blouse & ladies garments blower of PM with slogans in parliament? How much more low it can go?

[emhcryo]

NONSENSICAL questions. No one dares to ask the right questions. ITS A SHAME.

[ranjankumardas]

Barkha please report how many illegal bangladesi stay in India

[faridamazhar]

Does modi protect minorities in India. He should practice what he preaches!

[arupkumarm]

Can you ask this person why the mullahs need to seat in front of the temples ?

[madrasman]

Bharkhas Muslim mindset: show burning pictures if Muslim, show protecting photos if Hindu. This is how it works

[Shipu.]

Why do Indian media always invite those who side with India. Mahfuz Anam is an Indian sympathizer active to patronize Indian agenda. In the current Bangladesh crisis, many more Muslims were attacked than Hindus. People were not attacked because they are Hindu or any other minority but because they were supporters of Awami League who benefitted unfairly from this fascist regime. Even Hindus in Bangladesh resonate with what I just mentioned as you can listen to Hindu Mohajot leader Gobinda C. Pramanik. Indian media is outright lying about so many things like a Muslim cricket player Mashrafi's house was set ablaze and Indian media reported the house belonging to a Hindu cricket player Liton. Why? No matter what the ground reality is, Indian media is always poised to portray a racial or Islamist twist to it. Grow up!

[gfjpqjg]

Seriously??? India should keep a distance from Bangladesh....is he trying to justify the arson of minority properties?
