#Bangladesh right now
fathom flax
So Pakistan used to rule both Pakistan and Bangladesh, until the 70's, when they won indépendance with a war.
The party that won the war, like all liberations party, became autocratic, gradually shutting off freedoms.
The woman pm that has been the autocrat since the 90's and that has lost popular support because of her dictatorial tendencies and nepotist governing has decided to be candidate to her 5th re-election, people didn't like that, there were protests, she didn't like that and sent the army to shoot on people our age.
Then she fled the country, presumably because the pression was too high in the streets, and Bangladeshis felt free.
And now they are burning down everything related to the party of the woman, hunting down witches, and possibly going against minorities such as Buddhist and Christians, because there is no one to stop them

And what is the main religion in Bangladesh
Muslim right?
Since pakistan is muslim dominant, they ruled Bangladesh resulting in a higher population of muslim people, and now they opress the hindoes?
Since hindoes were “part” of the PM?

That I do not know
The "Hindus getting attacked" allegations come from India, we have to ask the "why"

No, not that, the religious faction is too weak
Something like the Algerian hirak, or Arab spring

People, will die and nothing will change, army might take over, but will then give power to an other new corrupt party that will rule for 30years because it happens again
We've seen this in 2011, it will happen again

I really don't mean to antagonize you guys, but you are very biased, this is about the people of Bangladesh, not Hindus alone. There will be no Islamic revolution, maybe there will be anti Hindus pogroms but I doubt it, the most probably will be some kind of situation like the one of Myanmar, with new protests and new casualties
random turtle
But certainly

I get your fraternity for the Hindus over there, but I don't think this will be the focus point of violence

Geopolitics are cruel and boring, the same horrors happen over and over again and there is nothing we can do about it
One day I'm going to throw my phone out of the window and never read the news again
