The experience of minorities in Bangladesh is not defined by isolated incidents of violence or occasional discrimination. It is the story of a systematic and decades-long erasure.
Behind the façade of cultural festivals and token gestures of inclusion lies a harsher reality: Hindus, indigenous peoples, Christians, and Buddhists are being steadily pushed toward extinction.
This erasure is not carried out by violence alone. It is reinforced through laws, state policies, and national narratives that increasingly deny minorities their rightful place in the nation’s social fabric and strip them of recognition as essential contributors to civic life and society.
