Clearly the Hindus of Bangladesh have been getting more religious also. It is going backward along with the Muslims.
About 20 years back, I used to write some commentaries in an internet newspaper in Bangladesh. The editor of that newspaper sent me Janmashtami greetings - wishing something like 'blessings of Lord Krishna' on me and my family. (I am trying not to reveal the identity of that Muslim gentleman because I did not obtain his permission to use it in a public forum.) That was the first and last Janmashtami greetings that I have received in my life of more than 60 years. I thanked the gentleman, but told him that I and the Hindu people that I had mixed with by then, including all my extended family, were not religious enough to ever exchange Janmashrtami greetings.
I am disappointed with this regression of Hindus in Bangladesh. But I suppose, when the majority moves toward religiosity, it is more challenging for the minority to move toward secular humanity. I can also see that the Muslims of Bangladesh can get some praise here - they are being tolerant and welcoming of the religious celebration of the Hindus.
