Hindus Terrified in Deganga

Hindus in Deganga are in abject fear at the moment; neither can they count on the broader populace in Bengal nor the administration, preoccupied in appeasing Islamists forever and a day. Is the extensive Hindu population in Bengal averse to Hindus in Deganga?  Not in any way! But centuries of Islamic oppression tied with predominance of alien ideology have been holding Hindus in the state to ransom. More Hindus endeavor to break all these shackles, the repression gets severer.

How can the existing situation in Deganga be defined then? In a nutshell – the situation in Deganga and its environs is out of the frying pan into the fire. Hindus there have not been able to bury their horrific experiences of three days (September 6, 7 and 8 in 2010) – the emergence of a new Noakhali

Islamic atrocities, aided by secularists, run amok in every corner of Deganga and whatever may be the extent of intimidation or insult or even thrashing by Islamists, Hindus have not been able to form a defence against all these. However harsh the reality is it can’t be snubbed. Hindu women in Deganga have turned into the worst victims – they can be challenged, molested and even outraged in high noon but there is none to save their modesty.

If anyone is interested to delve into the parochialism of administration – it is enough for him/her to know that no Hindu organization is being allowed to circulate pamphlets or paste posters to protest against any anti-Hindu activity in the area, not to speak of any public meeting. Hindus’ moral fiber in Deganga is on the verge of collapse.

Hindu Samhati regularly monitors and reports violations against Hindus in West Bengal. We also work with both governmental and NGO agencies for proper education on protection and ensure remedies to the Hindu populace as per prevailing law of the land.
