Historic Hindu Temple in Bangladesh Demolished in Gouranadi

 Gouranadi, Bangladesh (CHAKRA) —  During the late hours of February 10th 2010  a heavy loaded truck suddenly hit the boundary of a historic 200 year old. In this destructive accident, a notable portion of the historic Hindu temple was demolished. 

Afther the Dhaka metor Da-11-1896 suddenly hit the boundary of the holy temple and demolished the historic hindu temple the local police came and took the truck which occured 4 hours after the actual accident. 

The local Hindu devotees expressed their great shock on this accident while some people shared that this may be a planned attack on the temple since in the last few months hindus in the area were given numerous threats by extremist Islamic groups instructing them to shut down their ‘kafir’ (a word used to reference non-muslims in a negative context) temples.  

The Hindu community is repetively ignored in muslim-majority Bangladesh and therefore weekly occurences of hindu and buddhist temples being destroyed and attacked are rarely filed by the police or covered by the media, even at times when extremist Islamic groups have announced responsibility.
