Mr. Guha,
All along you and many other have been supporting Secularism in Bangladesh which I commended as a staunch supported of secularism. Now I see you just FLIPPED to support radical Hindu agenda and supporting Modi's extreme racist agenda. What happened here? Are you now showing you true color of hypocrite? Now that the law is in favor of radical Hinduism, you support it? You are pathetic. We deplore this new citizenship act put forward by RADICAL HINDU agenda. Hope common sense will prevail over this type of cheap politics of division. India from it's inception has been a secular country and hope it will prosper as such. That was one of the big difference with Pakistan who went on a wrong path. Now India is following Pakistani wrong path? Bangladesh is an example; learn from Sheikh Hasina. Look how she has been moving ahead and prospering Bangladesh for 10 years now without playing the religious card. She is in a very difficult position as radicals use Indian Hindu Radicals as an example to move Bangladesh in Modi or Pakistani whong path. I salute her for her strong leadership. But she can not succeed for long if all her neighbor are doing the DIRTY politics with religion. Shame on you and your beloved RSS/Shiv Shena/BJP and JAMAT/SHIBIR. These are the parasites of political environment. Hope commonsense will outrun radicals. Go democracy......R.M.Islam

'We Firmly Support CAA'
We, the expatriate Hindus and other religious and ethnic minorities of Bangladesh, living around the globe fully support the Citizenship Amendment Act (2019) passed by the Parliament of India. This is a humanitarian act towards humanity.
The horror of partition, that was forced on the innocent Hindus and other non-Muslim populations who lived in the east and west of the Indian subcontinent in 1947, continues to haunt them through various forms of discrimination in Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan. The Liaquat-Nehru Pact of 1950 – through which refugees were to be allowed to return to dispose of their property, rescue abducted women and children, recover looted property, un-recognize forced religious conversions, and confirm minority rights – was never realized.
Not only that, in India, Hindu refugees from East Pakistan and later from Bangladesh had to hide and forge documents to become citizens of India. Through this Act, India has partially fulfilled its duty to the millions of non-Muslims from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan who had to flee to India in recent years, but could not claim their rights in India. CAA has given them the right.
We also want to remind that close to 20 million Hindus, Buddhists and Christians still live in Bangladesh. These populations want to remain in their motherland Bangladesh with security and dignity. Their presence there creates a potential that Bangladesh could become a more tolerant nation where militant Islam would not find a stronghold. We hope the Indian Government will continue to work for the wellbeing of the beleaguered non-Muslim population of Bangladesh as they work with others to provide a bulwark against Islamic extremism in the Indian subcontinent.
Thank you.
