In today’s Bangladesh, even the streets are no longer safe for Sanatani (Hindu) women.
Targeted killings and abuse are now happening openly — based on religious identity — under the shadow of the government and with the silent complicity of the administration.
On June 29, in the early hours of the morning, police rescued a Hindu woman from a jungle near Talukdar Market on the Barishal-Bhola highway.
She was bound hand and foot, wrapped in polythene — a shocking symbol of systematic brutality.
In this new Bangladesh, militants with a license to torture operate safely under state protection,
while a Hindu woman wearing traditional symbols of faith is the most unsafe of all.
