The bloody game of Islamic extremism: Massacre of Hindus in the name of protest, the same poisonous pattern—from Bangladesh to Pakistan

The bloody game of Islamic extremism: Massacre of Hindus in the name of protest, the same poisonous pattern—from Bangladesh to Pakistan

The extremist frenzy spreading in the name of Islam has turned South Asia into a blood-soaked battlefield, where false accusations like “Gustakh-e-Nabi” (blasphemy) have become the deadliest weapon to crush minority Hindus. These extremists, who present themselves as protectors of Islam, carry out barbarities such as looting, mass rapes, attacks on temples, and burning people alive under the cover of protests. But what is the real motive? The answer is straightforward: to terrorize the Hindu community into fleeing and establish Islamic dominance.

In Bangladesh, from the fall of Sheikh Hasina’s government (August 2024) to December 2025, more than 2,442 attacks on Hindus have been recorded—including 152 temples destroyed, over 130 homes burned, and at least 23 Hindus killed. These are not just numbers but evidence of a calculated conspiracy that exposes the poisonous ideology of Islamic extremism.

The world’s human rights organizations remain silent because these killings are happening in the name of “religious freedom.” But the truth is this: when extremists spill the blood of innocents shouting “Allahu Akbar,” it is a warning to those who do not accept Islam—convert or die.

 

Dipu Chandra Das: A Hindu youth burned alive on false blasphemy accusations—the pinnacle of barbarity

In Bhaluka upazila of Mymensingh district, Bangladesh, on December 19, 2025, an incident occurred that stands as a living testament to the cruelty of Islamic extremism. Dipu Chandra Das (25-27 years old), a Hindu youth who worked in a garment factory, was surrounded by a frenzied Muslim mob over allegations of saying “all religions are equal.” Viral videos on social media bear witness to this barbarity: Dipu was first dragged out of the police station, stripped naked by hundreds of extremists, beaten with sticks, tied to a tree, and finally doused with petrol and burned alive. The echoes of his screams still resonate in those videos, so heartbreaking that any sensitive person would shudder watching them. Investigations found no direct evidence that Dipu had actually made any insulting remark—it was merely a rumor that became an excuse for murder by the extremists.

Following the incident, interim government chief Muhammad Yunus announced the arrest of 7 to 10 people, but this is mere pretense. Dipu’s family is shattered—his father told the media that identifying his son’s body was difficult, and now they live in the shadow of fear. This murder was no coincidence; it happened at a time when protests were raging over the death of youth leader Sharif Osman Hadi, and extremist organizations like Jamaat-e-Islami had become active. Dipu’s death has terrified the Hindu community across Bangladesh—over 30,000 Hindus held a rally in Dhaka demanding protection. But the question remains: when the law fails, where should minorities go? This incident is part of the 2,442 attacks on Hindus in 2024-2025, where atrocities on women, looting of homes, and arson on temples have become commonplace.

 

The old pattern of protests: From Sheikh Hasina’s “revolution” until now, selective targeting of Hindus—the poignant story of statistics

This pattern is not new but an age-old tactic of Islamic extremism. The “student revolution” that began in August 2024 to topple Sheikh Hasina’s government was initially called a victory for democracy, but in reality, it was a storm of anti-Hindu violence. Between August 4 and 20, 2024 alone, over 2,010 attacks occurred, spreading across 45 districts. More than 100 deaths were reported, including prominent names like Hindu councilor Hardhan Roy Hara and Kajal Roy. Extremists specifically targeted Hindu leaders, journalists, and artists—their homes were looted, women forced to choose between rape or family murder.

By January 2025, human rights organizations had confirmed 858 deaths, many from the Hindu community. By November 2025, over 300 lives were lost in political violence. According to the Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council, 2,200 cases were recorded in 2024—seven times more than the 302 in 2023. These are not “protests” but a jihadi conspiracy—spreading rumors to gather mobs and eliminate minorities. The Hindu population in Bangladesh has already shrunk to 8%; these attacks are accelerating migration, a step toward Islamic monopoly.

 

Gustakh-e-Nabi (Blasphemy): The deadliest weapon of extremists—revealing major incidents of 2024-2025

In Islamic countries like Bangladesh, blasphemy laws are a death warrant for Hindus. Dozens of cases emerged in 2024-2025 where mobs carried out justice in the name of false accusations. Here are some major incidents:

Akash Das Case (December 2024): A young Hindu posted an allegedly insulting comment about the Quran on Facebook. Result? A frenzied mob burned 130 Hindu homes and 20 temples. Akash was beaten to death, and riots erupted across the area. This incident became a symbol of collective violence under the cover of blasphemy laws.

Pranto Talukdar (January 2025): In Patenga Kathgarh, Chittagong, Muslim extremists abducted Hindu youth Pranto and tortured him for hours. Accusation? Blasphemy. He was severely beaten, and even after release, his family remains in hiding out of fear. This was mentioned in a United Nations report.

Ridoy Robi Das (November 2024): In Karimganj upazila, barber Ridoy was kidnapped by three maulanas. Pretext? A romantic relationship with a Muslim girl. He died from torture, part of a religious conspiracy linked to blasphemy.

Hriday Pal (October 2024): In Bolmari, Faridpur district, a frenzied mob surrounded Kadiradi Degree College over accusations of insulting Prophet Muhammad. Attempts were made to kill Hriday, and violence erupted at the college.

Dhananjay and Rubel Tripura (2024):In Khagrachari and Rangamati, a Muslim mob killed these Hindu tribals over rumors of a Muslim criminal’s death. Attacks on the tribal community increased, with rumors used as weapons.

 

These cases show that blasphemy is not a legal process but a “license to kill” for extremists. In 2025 alone, over 200 such attacks occurred, targeting temples, homes, and shops.

 

Rumors and cross-border brutality: Pakistan’s Sialkot case—a similar cruelty

This pattern is not limited to Bangladesh; the same prevails in Pakistan. In December 2021, in Sialkot, Sri Lankan citizen Priyantha Kumara (a 48-year-old factory manager) was surrounded by a mob of factory workers over blasphemy accusations. Allegation? Removing posters with Quranic verses. The mob tortured him for hours—beating him, stripping him naked, and finally burning him alive. Videos went viral, shocking the world. Courts sentenced 6 people to death, but radical groups like Tehreek-e-Labbaik remain active. Priyantha’s family still seeks justice, but Pakistan’s blasphemy laws (which prescribe death) act as a trap for minorities. From Bangladesh to Pakistan: Spread rumors, gather a mob, and eliminate non-Muslims—this is the shared DNA of Islamic extremism.

 

Break the silence, or minorities will be wiped out

The burning body of Dipu Chandra, the tortures of Ridoy Robi Das, and the screams of Priyantha Kumara prove that when religious frenzy takes over, both law and humanity collapse. These attacks are not “public outrage” but calculated hatred against Hindus. This conspiracy to erase minorities from South Asia will succeed if the world—especially India and the international community—remains silent. These voices are being suppressed, but truth never dies. Protect Hindus, or this fire will consume everyone tomorrow.
