বাংলাদেশে ৪২ বছরে হাজার হাজার মন্দির ও মূর্তি ভাঙ্গা হয়েছে; কিন্তু একজন অপরাধীও শাস্তি পেয়েছে এমন নজির নেই: শিতাংশু গুহ, ১০ এপ্রিল ২০১৩, ওয়াশিংটন, ডিসি।
In last 42 years in Bangladesh thousands of temples & deities had been destroyed; but there is no instance that one single perpetrator was punished: Sitangshu Guha, 10th April 2013, Washington, D.C.

The government alone cannot do much. Sometimes the government will do nothing, rather it will engage in mayhem as BNP did in 2001(?). The current government has been pressured by different agencies. I don't think it has been fully effective. In the face of the destructive actions by the opposition parties in the very capital city the government seems to be helpless. How can it then protect the religious minority interests in rural areas when the social miscreants, communalist forces and religious fanatics engage in vandalism?
We have our attitude problems also. When Mr. Guha tells us the stories on minority persecution in Bangladesh, we have our cold reaction: Why are you saying this here! Go and tell the government. Pretty nice way to shirk the responsibility! When they go for rally and demonstration in D.C, we criticize them. When they petition to various foreign governments and international agencies, we accuse them of tarnishing the image of the country. When Dr. Mizanur Rahman looks at the historical trend and cautions us that if the trend continues, Hindu population in Bangladesh will be reduced to zero in twenty years, we accuse him of the guilt of exaggeration and instigating a communal discord in Bangladesh.
The bottom line is that directing Guha to approach the government is not enough. We all have to be proactive and create pressure on the position and opposition through various channels. Vulnerable areas in the country have to be under constant watch. Perpetrators have to be brought to justice which seems to totally absent in Bangladesh. One can take lesson from even Narendra Modi's Gujarat where a female leader was hanged for having been actively involved in anti-Muslim riots.

Ask our government to take steps against any minority persecution.
