In the last few years, in the aftermath of 9/11, some anti-Muslim zealots within the Hindu community, e.g., C.R. Dutta, Ajoy Roy, Nim Chandra Bhowmik, Ravindranath Trivedi, have aggressively propagated a very distorted image about Bangladesh.
Two organizations - HRCBM and Hindu-Christian-BMany a times, they have pulled information from some dailies like the Daily Star to support their views. They have also frequently made use of Dr. Barakat's sloppy 'research' work (Dr. Barakat is known amongst his friends as an atheist with an anti-Muslim, Islamophobic agenda).
These zealots have often approached government officials in the USA, UK, India, just to name a few countries, to solve their "plight." Unfortunately, there does not seem to be a concerted effort within our intelligentsia to confront the massive propaganda campaign that soils Bangladesh's and Muslim people's image around the world. See, the links below, as some random examples --

The questions I have are: are there any truth to such claims? If not, what is the truth on such matters? [BTW: I am grateful to Mr. Shah A. Halim for his piece refuting Dr Barakat's ludicrous claims about 'fundamentalist economics' in Bangladesh.]
