Why is the slaughter of Hindus in Bangladeshi not being reported?

[Wineatfiveisfine]

Twitter is alive with the most awful reporting of Hindus being slaughtered / raped. Children and women before men. Zoo animals being tortured and killed.

But missing from mainstream reporting? 💔

You have to specifically google it to find anything
I wonder why 🤔

Because Hindus are generally peace-loving people and don't have enough of a voice for themselves, and aren't great at mustering the victim narrative to get other loud voices to speak up

Yes it is very under reported.... absolutely terrible

Seriously? You not heard of the BJP and their policies then?

Perhaps because Twitter is notorious for being a cesspit of incorrect information and reputable news outlets don't have verified information?

Mainstream news has been reporting the current protests in Bangladesh since last week, eg https://www.theguardian.com/world/south-and-central-asia

Surf2Live how do you square these views with the mainstream reporting on the Israel/Palestine war and Hamas?

There is a fair bit of Italk in the Indian press, and some discussion of how India needs to take in Hindu refugees ( it has already taken in Sheikh Hasina). But unverified. I haven't seen anything in the UK press, but they appear to be preoccupied with the current riots. I haven;t been able to find any reliable reports. I would be very wary of relying on Twitter.

From what I've seen the mainstream reporting tends to be rather pro Palestine and neutral / silent / negative towards Israel. So, to me, it seems to square up with the view I expressed. "Free Palestine" seems to be okay, but supporting Israel doesn't.

It is being reported. This is from the BBC

Many people don't support genocide.

Many people don't support genocide.

lots of people say they don’t and chant loudly about it, what they mean is they don’t support genocide of some people

@Surf2Live thanks for saying it out loud 🙏

It is being reported, Guardian have had almost daily reports on it since it kicked off, this is the latest: https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/aug/08/muhammad-yunus-arrives-bangladesh-take-office-interim-leader

Yup surf2live you have this exactly right.

Your grasp of history is… interesting. Have you heard of partition? Or looked much as Sri Lanka? Or heard of the BJP?

When was that survey taken and where can I see the stats?

I am so behind. I didn't realise Muhammad Yunus is tipped for interim leader. That is a departure from dynastic policies

Are you for real?

Look up BJP. They have been murdering and killing innocent civilians.

There are thousands of BJP bot accounts on twitter that are spreading this propaganda. That is why the media is not reporting it, because the vast majority of it is not true.

The population of Palestine has had a steady rate of growth from 2.17% to 2.35% from 2017 to current.

If Israel is indeed committing genocide against Palestine, then they're remarkably bad at it.

Indeed.

It is being reported, as others have said. The lack of widespread coverage is more to do with British news not paying very much attention to what happens in Asia. It’s always been like this.

As for the PP’s wanting to frame this as it being the protection of Muslim extremists, you can honestly sod off with your Islamaphobia and ignorance. Muslims are being slaughtered and persecuted by far right Hindu nationalists in India and that gets limited coverage too. And I say this as a British Asian woman whose parents are Indian Hindus.

The slaughter of Nigerian Christians has been going on for a long while but no one cares as it's not promoted in the media.

People only get riled up when they believe what the media tells them to believe.

I see you live under a rock. Palestinians are currently being starved and slaughtered and Israel is under investigation for genocide.
