In a historic rally on October 25, 2024, more than 200,000 members of the Hindu community gathered at Lal Dighi in Chittagong, Bangladesh, in a demonstration organized by the Sanatan Jagaran Mancha to protest the ongoing persecution and discrimination faced by the Hindu minority in the country. Chanting 'Jai Shri Ram', the rally saw participants from across Bangladesh united under a common cause, urging government authorities and the international community to take immediate action to protect Hindu rights and ensure their safety.

Eight Key Demands for Rights and Protection During the rally, leaders of the Sanatan Jagaran Mancha presented eight specific demands that center on the right to safety, freedom from violence, and equal rights for the Hindu minority. These demands have been formed in response to reports of rising attacks against Hindus in Bangladesh, ranging from violence and vandalism of temples to systematic discrimination. The demands have highlighted the urgent need for protective legislation, stricter enforcement against perpetrators, and recognition of minority rights in the country.

A Call for Global Hindu Solidarity The rally has sparked international attention, particularly in India and among the global Hindu community, where calls for solidarity with Bangladeshi Hindus are growing. Prominent Hindu leaders, activists, and human rights advocates have expressed their support, urging nations worldwide to recognize and respond to the suffering of Hindus in Bangladesh. Some political leaders in India have even called for diplomatic discussions and policy action to ensure protection for Hindus in neighboring countries. The movement reflects an increasing push within the global Hindu community for human rights, where events like the Chittagong rally underscore the collective effort to protect Hindu cultural and religious identity.

Historical Context and Growing Concerns This rally is part of a larger movement in response to frequent incidents of violence against the Hindu minority in Bangladesh. Human rights groups have documented attacks on Hindu temples, community leaders, and regular citizens, raising concerns about religious intolerance and a lack of adequate government intervention. Many advocates stress that this recurring violence undermines social harmony and calls into question Bangladesh’s commitment to minority rights, prompting both domestic and international criticism.
