The death throes of minority Hindus

Ethnic cleansing of Hindus in Pakistan and Bangladesh continues unabated,
writes Richard L Benkin

I just returned from India after a month during which time an incredible
number of significant events were occurring. My primary mission in going was
to document and raise awareness of the ethnic cleansing of Bangladeshi
Hindus. I found plenty, including evidence of ongoing attacks on them both
in Bangladesh and in West Bengal, India. The border between the two is so
porous that terrorists and contraband move freely with and without the help
of India's Border Security Force or West Bengal Police. But I also witnessed
the tragic beginning of the end for Pakistan's Hindus. Once one in five
Pakistanis, they have been reduced to one per cent of the population.

But as the Taliban take over ever larger chunks of that country, that
remnant of a people is streaming across the border into Indian Punjab. The
stream became a torrent with the Taliban's seizure of the Swat Valley
earlier this year. Hindu refugees report attacks and threats by the Taliban,
as well as officials telling them to leave the country "or else..." The
February agreement between the Taliban and the Asif Ali Zardari Government
in Pakistan ceded the area to the former and allowed Sharia'h law to be
imposed on Swat's 1.2 million inhabitants.

US President Barack Obama has used this agreement as a model in his stated
quest for "moderate Taliban." But not only does the agreement countersign
ethnic cleansing, it also failed even before Mr Obama's anticipated speech
on US policy in the region. Just hours before the President spoke, one of
the Taliban parties to the agreement, the Tehrik e Taliban, abrogated it
with a terror attack on a mosque in Pakistan's North-West Frontier Province,
and has engaged in other terrorist attacks subsequently.

One Hindi news channel quoted a Taliban spokesman confirming that his group
was pulling out of the agreement not to attack elsewhere in Pakistan
because, he said, it would be contrary to Allah's wishes to limit Sharia'h
to the Swat Valley. Yet, no major media in India, the US, or elsewhere made
this connection.

Even more shameful, no media or Government has protested the ethnic
cleansing of Pakistan's Hindus, who are being finished off by the Taliban.
All Governments involved in the region are just allowing it to happen, too.
What kind of a world do we live in when India will not defend Hindus
attacked for being Hindus; when the US ignores the atrocity; when not a
single human rights group or the UN utters a word of protest?

What is happening to Pakistan's Hindus is a crime, but a crime that is
largely accomplished. There remain 13,000,000 Hindus in Bangladesh subject
to the same attacks, the same racist laws, and the same intention to
eradicate them. Worse, the battle is spilling across the open border into
India, and it is changing the security arrangements between the two
countries, the demographic balance, and continuing the ethnic cleansing
there, too. It is also allowing terrorists into the country whose intention
is to undermine the very nation of Hindustan.

My mission is to prevent that, to prevent the murders and other atrocities,
even if I am the only voice of protest to cry out about this crime against
humanity.
