The Durga puja and Minority Rights of Bangladesh
The Puja committees
in the capital and other parts of the country depend on doles and protection of
law enforcing agencies. They usually organize Puja mondaps and display communal
harmony in the name of Puja once a year like other festivals but in reality,
besides begging, there is no security and political and economic power to earn
for them.
The Hindu leadership
under the umbrella of Durga Puja is a farce and a great mockery. The Durga Puja
has lost its religious fervour and festivity in Bangladesh. It becomes a
political bargaining factor for a class of beneficiaries. The celebration of
Puja festival committees under the so-called Hindu leaders in Bangladesh is
tutored and cared for by the elected Governments and army regimes.
