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!"

  Rohingya crisis Rohingya families fled violence. But six years later, uncertainty about the future still grips those living in the world’s largest refugee settlement. UNICEF/UN0687978/Spiridonova Updated 8 January 2024 What is the Rohingya crisis?    When hundreds of thousands of terrified Rohingya refugees began flooding onto the beaches and paddy fields of southern Bangladesh in August 2017, it was the children who caught many people’s attention. As the refugees – almost 60 per cent of whom were children – poured across the border from Myanmar into Bangladesh, they brought with them accounts of the unspeakable violence and brutality that had forced them to flee.   Those fleeing attacks and violence in the 2017 exodus joined around 300,000 people already in Bangladesh from previous waves of displacement, effectively forming the world’s largest refugee camp. Six years later, about half a million Rohingya refugee children are living in exi...
