South Asian Minorities Collective

They regard this act as a command from Allah and desire that every person in the world do the same; furthermore, they consider anyone who does not do so to be a "Kafir" and, according to their beliefs, a "Kafir" must be killed.

It was like the morning after a nuclear attack. In June 1971, a World Bank official traveling through Kushtia, Jessore, and Khulna saw entire villages burned to ash, towns reduced to rubble, and streets hauntingly empty. Hundreds of thousands of families were suddenly uprooted — mothers carrying crying children, elderly people with nothing but the clothes on their backs, fathers watching their homes and livelihoods disappear in the rearview of panic. Lives shattered overnight, futures erased, loved ones lost in the chaos of mass displacement. Kushtia was virtually destroyed and deserted. Jessore had become a ghost town. The human cost was devastating. Read the full account in the comments. Never forget. #BangladeshGenocide #1971 #LiberationWar #Bangladesh

Major religions like Hinduism—the world’s third-largest faith—are excluded from human-rights discourse, international bodies and religious-freedom monitoring organizations. This asymmetry needs to be addressed, writes @avatans on.wsj.com/4dvYn9b

Today we honor every mother whose sacrifice, strength, and endless love shape our families and communities. Across every culture, language, and struggle, mothers carry generations forward with courage and care. Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms in our South Asian communities and beyond

15 Years ago, this day, our brave soldiers killed #AlQaeda leader Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan after a decade of search. The Jihadist mastermind of 9/11 lived less than a mile away from the Pakistan Military Academy where the current Supreme Leader of Pakistan, Field Marshal Asim Munir (pictured here with @Potus) trained and lived.

“Today marks 1 year since the 2025 Pahalgam Massacre: Islamist terrorists brutally killed 26 innocent tourists in India’s Jammu & Kashmir. Prayers with the victims’ families. Call it the Pakistan Pahalgam Massacre—the Pakistani govt & its proxies bear responsibility. Condemn the killers & the terror-supporting system behind them. No more hypocrisy. @narendramodi @PMOIndia @VP @WhiteHouse @POTUS @hrw @amnesty Stand with victims, not perpetrators. #PahalgamMassacre #Terrorism #SouthAsianMinorities”

@erbmjha Stop Madrasa education if you want a democratic country

Don’t mistake this for Kashmir, this is Himachal Pradesh. And the demographic change is impossible to ignore!!

Bangladesh remains a ticking time bomb due to Awami League ban firstpost.com/opinion/bangla…

Just few days ago, Kashmiri's collected & donated Rs 600 croers to IRAN. And today they are breaking electrical meters because they want free electricity. Pathetic

The murder of 3 million Hindus, and the assault of 400,000 women was the price paid for the independence of Bangladesh. 25 March 1971… a night that changed South Asia forever. After the 1970 elections, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s party won but power was denied. What began as political tension turned into one of the most violent crackdowns in history. At midnight, the Pakistani Army moved into Dhaka and targeted Hindu families and Mandirs. Protests grew. Tensions escalated. And then came Operation Searchlight.

On the occasion of the great Independence and National Day, 26 March, I extend my heartfelt greetings and congratulations to the people of Bangladesh at all levels, as well as to all Bangladeshis living abroad. March 26 is a glorious and historic day in our national life. On this day, I remember with profound respect the nation's finest sons, whose sacrifices enabled us to achieve an independent and sovereign Bangladesh. At the same time, I recall with deep gratitude the brave freedom fighters who took part in the Liberation War, the mothers, sisters who suffered oppression and all those who devoted themselves to the struggle for independence. I pray for the eternal peace of the departed souls of all the martyrs. The Great Independence Day inspires us anew with the spirit of courage, sacrifice and patriotism. The fundamental goal of independence was to establish a Bangladesh that is free from discriminations, and to be democratic, peaceful and prosperous. Keeping that goal before us, we must work together and continue to move the country forward. To further accelerate the progress and development of our beloved motherland, we must uphold in our hearts the spirit of national unity, mutual tolerance and patriotism. Let us draw inspiration from the significance of the Great Independence and National Day and dedicate ourselves, from our respective positions, to the welfare of the country. Together, let us work to build a developed, prosperous and dignified Bangladesh. I wish every success to all programmes organised on the occasion of the Great Independence and National Day.
