Hindutvadi propaganda against Bangladesh refuted

While browsing the internet today, I came across a Hindutvadi propaganda by Vivek Gumaste. He bemoaned that Hindu population may vanish in Bangladesh in the next thirty years. It was a silly propaganda that is meant to portray Bangladesh negatively. I wrote my response below:

"The article by Gumaste is a pure Hindutvadi propaganda where falsehood is mixed with little truth. If the Hindus in Bangladesh were treated second class, can the author explain why  Hindus who represent a tenth of the population hold nearly 40% of government jobs? Why almost half of the district commissioners are Hindus? How could Bangladesh have a Hindu supreme court justice who could not probably be more than an ordinary lawyer in India? 
Compare that scenario with Muslims in Modi's India. 
While according to census, Muslims represent 14 percent of Indian population, their share is only two (2) percent in government jobs.
Before telling the kettle black Hindutvdi propagandists like Gumaste and Trivedi should do a soul search.  Lest we forget, Bangladeshi Hindus see India as their spiritual home and are known to have a second home in India. It's easy for them to integrate and earn citizenship there. Money laundering has been a regular phenomenon for them since 1947. As soon as they retire and/or could sell their properties, sometimes to multiple people the same plot of land immorally, they pack up and settle in India. The reason that their percentage has gone down in East Pakistan owes it big times to this naked fact.
By the way, Trivedi's propaganda has long been refuted sufficiently by me in the Asian Tribune. Had Hindus been discriminated guys like him would not have held a secretarial level job in Bangladesh. Enough said!"

George Soros at the Davos Forum

Dear Friends and Colleagues,   I thought you would be interested in reading George's remarks he delivered at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland this evening.   Best regards, Michael Vachon   George Soros Remarks delivered at the World Economic Forum Davos, Switzerland January 25, 2018 The current moment in history Good evening. It has become something of an annual Davos tradition for me to give an overview of the current state of the world. I was planning half an hour for my remarks and half an hour for questions, but my speech has turned out to be closer to an hour. I attribute this to the severity of the problems confronting us. After I’ve finished, I’ll open it up for your comments and questions. So prepare yourselves. *** I find the current moment in history rather painful. Open societies are in crisis, and various forms of dictatorships and mafia states, exemplified by Putin’s Russia, are on the rise. In the United States, President Trump would

Defining the Biden Doctrine

  In his first major foreign-policy speech as U.S. president, Joe Biden declared to the world that America was back. The international sigh of relief was almost audible amid hopes that former President Donald Trump’s disruptive style was a relic. Biden has pursued an ambitious agenda to repair alliances and forge new ones, curb corruption, arrest democratic backsliding, and tackle climate change, all while managing the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, Russian threats to Ukraine, and escalating tensions with China.  It hasn’t all been plain sailing. The decision to withdraw remaining U.S. troops from Afghanistan precipitated the collapse of the country’s government and chaos in Kabul as hundreds of thousands of people fled the Taliban. Plans to share nuclear submarine technology with Australia, at the expense of Canberra’s submarine deal with Paris, soured trans-Atlantic relations.  Ahead of the anniversary of Biden’s inauguration,  Foreign Policy ’s Amy Mackinnon spoke with one of t
