| | Persecution of Hindus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Much like the Bangladeshi Hindu refugees in India, the Kashmiri Hindus are an unpalatable subject for many Indians, an ideological embarrassment for some people who feel uneasy about discussing the persecution of Hindus by Muslims. | | | Merely speaking about human rights for Hindus is for them a form of communalism. | | | The Persecution of Hindus has existed throughout history. |

| | Mr. Singh, Don’t Play With History |
| | Hindu temples and places of worship were demolished and replaced with mosques and dargahs. | | | Thousands of Hindu and Jain priests were massacred as their temples were desecrated. | | | Just as the sustained persecution of Hindus by Muslim rulers is a fact of Indian history, another fact of Indian history is the oppression of the so-called dalits by the upper castes. |

| | Hindus and Hindu civilization has endured horrendous genocide and enslavement. | | | However the defence of Hindu society, Hindu civilization, Hindu culture and Hinduism does not figure in the consciousness of these Westerners which instead seems to have the destruction of Hinduism and Hindus at their very epicentre. | | | In contrast, Hindus have survived and their spiritual and cultural heritage, although wounded, survives in every part of the globe to this day. |

| | Hinduism As a World Religion Down the Ages |
| | Hinduism is one of the five officially recognized religions in Indonesia (the other being Confucianism, Christianity, Islam and Buddhism). | | | Hinduism and Buddhism reached Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Kampuchea and Burma simultaneously and there was a fusion of these two sister religions there, with the Buddhist element generally dominating. | | | Traditionally, Hinduism is a non-proselytizing religion i.e., Hindus do not normally convert people of other faiths to their own. |

| | Background - B. The Fundamentalist Surge and the History of Ahmadi Persecution |
| | *40 Because the Ahmadi belief in the prophethood of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was considered blasphemous insofar as it “defiled the name of Prophet Muhammad,” *41 Zia-ul-Haq and the Pakistani government institutionalized the persecution of Ahmadis in Pakistan with Section 295-C. The mere existence of practicing Ahmadi Muslims could be considered blasphemous and punishable by death. | | | For Pakistan outwardly to manifest its solidarity with the international community with respect to freedom of religion was easier than for its ulama or “religious leadership,” consisting of the class of orthodox Muslim clerics, to agree with this vision of freedom. | | | The building of a secular and inclusive state in Pakistan proved difficult in the face of rising religious fundamentalism. |

| | The Sufis invited the remaining Hindus, now in a minority, to use their place of worship known as ‘Ziarat’, for many temples had been destroyed. | | | The Sufis brought with them a gentle message of ‘live and let live’ in stark contrast to the persecution of Hindus by the earlier waves of Muslim invasions – waves that destroyed their places of worship, killed them or forced them into converting to Islam. | | | The last six hundred years saw the evolution of a tradition of peaceful co-existence and religious tolerance and friendship that transcended faith. |

| | In fact, Islamic extremists have routinely dispossessed Hindus and, for that matter, Christians and Buddhists, of their ancestral properties and land, burned down their homes, and desecrated and razed temples, which has resulted in forcing many to flee as refugees. | | | Over the following 30 years, thousands of Hindu temples were destroyed, Hindus were systematically disenfranchised from holding political power, and prejudicial legislation ensured an unstable existence for Hindus. | | | Speaker, I rise this evening to express my deep concern over the persecution of Hindus in Bangladesh. |
