Sorry for the long list of quotes, but I wanted to illustrate
something. Why is it that terror strikes Bangladeshi Hindus only when
they are men between the ages of 25 and 50, and mostly in their late
twenties and early thirties? Quite obviously, this is not evidence of
"ethnic cleansing" per se. Economic factors are clearly at work here,
with men seeking greener pastures early in their working lives.
Notice too that there is no direct force stated that cause people to
leave, nor any evidence given of a planned campaign by the state
authorities of Bangladesh that would qualify under the grandiose title
of "ethnic cleansing" -- what are narrated are just some random
incidents of misbehavior by hoodlums, etc., the likes of which I'm
sure happen in India as often as anywhere else.
Surely it would be as well if all Hindus were to learn enough
discrimination to avoid accepting such stupid misreporting of facts as
in that essay. There are enough real problems that we can all do well
without having to waste time on charging windmills.
