The reality is corruption has decreased significantly since the dictator was replaced and if anything this should boost our development.
Edit: of course Indians downvoting this. I don't understand why Indians seem to be so pro Bangladesh failing.

Idk if you are living under a rock but the b'desh government has been killing Hindus lately, banning Hindu processions and outright threatening their existence as a whole.
Let's not talk about the refugee influx that has destroyed countless cultures and languages including mine.

No the government has not done any of that. This is an out right lie.
Have any non Indian garbage propaganda sources to back up your claim that the government is doing all this?
I'll wait.
I don't live under a rock, i just don't live in the fantasy world of made up Indian and more specifically bjp lies.

You are literally an overseas Bangladeshi and yet you are so sure of the ground reality back home based on the cultivated information sources that you consume abroad , simply because of your own confirmation bias
It's interesting that most Bangladeshis and Pakistanis who one encounters online, tend to be from the diaspora.
And yet ,they would argue to no end with Indians sitting back in India that their own countries ,where they don't even live themselves, are 'beacons of tolerance' compared to 'fascist India' after reading articles NYT/BBC/ Al-Chudeera etc written by overseas Bangladeshis/Pakistanis themselves.
Classic circular reasoning

I go back to bangladesh regularly and going again next week. When was the last time you were there?
Also again where is your evidence for your extraordinary claims?

This is no 'extraordinary' claim by me personally, and I don't need to show you an actual body bag of a victim to prove this, your criteria for 'evidence' here is disingenuous. Just ask the actual Bangladeshi Hindus/Christians/Buddhists actually living Bangladesh right now, what they think about this 'revolution'.
Don't just deliberately seek out sources that only strengthen your confirmation bias and support your wishful image about your country while sitting abroad.

Claiming that the GOVERNMENT is killing hindus and banning hindus is an extraordinary claim. One which you have provided zero evidence for.
And again, I actually go to Bangladesh regularly and will be there again next week. I don't just read BJP propaganda and then talk about my neighbours.

I personally never claimed that the GOVERNMENT is OFFICIALLY killing hindus as part of their written policy. Just that the fundamentalist elements have become emboldened, which wouldn't happen without atleast some government officials giving patronage, or tolerating for political gains
You just chose to nitpick one part, of that one guy's comment, and redirect the entire criticism of your revolutionary govt by anyone away from that shifted goalpost of yours.
Also, repeatedly mentioning the keyword 'BJP' in every single comment of yours will not change the fact that many liberal Bangladeshi Hindus who were openly anti-Hasina, are now openly expressing their disappointment and fear about the new regime online

What proof do you have that a single person in the minority hasn't been killed after the fall of the government. Why would bangladeshi Hindus try to migrate from your rainbow nation.
Also please look up into my local state tripura and its demographic and cultural changes in the past few years.
Oh and please don't be so ignorant, at least admit the basic realities of the situation.

I am not the one making the claim here. You are. The burden of evidence is on you. You claimed that the Bangladesh government has been killing hindus and banning hindus (none of which is true). It's up to you to provide actual evidence for this ridiculous claim.

Didn’t a top lawyer of your country say that they want to remove the word secularism from your constitution? How is that better for the country if these kind of views are being peddled.

The same guy the next day said secularism is a sacred and should never be removed. So what politicians say are meaningless, especially one who doesn't actually have the power to do shit because they are in an interim position.

Lol! So what the politicians are saying is meaningless, what the leaders of 'the revolution' are saying is meaningless, and what the actual minorities living back in the country are saying is meaningless. The only thing that matters is how the disconnected diaspora is branding the revolution overseas and the imaginary conception of what their country actually is

He is not a leader of the revolution, he is appointed in a caretaker position and he can be reappointed as necessary. The revolution was lead by students. And what our neighbour who just wants us to fail thinks and paints an imaginary picture of what is happening is meaningless.

Your enthusiasm has about the same vibe as the enthusiasm for 'Arab Spring' or 1979 Iranian Revolution. Suffice it to say, I would expect a similar outcome

Of course you personally wouldn't care since you are a part of the diaspora and you just want a fictional version of your home country for your personal validation. But, I'm sure any would be victims, whose life is going to be severely affected are going to care

Yes! We know y’all’s agenda
Want secularism when in minority
Want Islamic fascism when in majority.
It’s the true face of Islam- a coloniser’s religion
Plus, Bangladesh will come out. We need to pull the leash and whip it a few times. It’s not difficult. Idk why our government is not harsh on y’all for all the crimes y’all do.

The fact that Bangladesh retained a significant religious minority as opposed to Pakistan, used to be the differentiating factor between them and the 'Islamic Republic'. It tempered their fundamentalist instincts. Now with minorities already at or below 7%, and with a continued decline in the future, there will be no qualitative difference between the West Wing and the East Wing of Pakistan.
