In Bangladesh, Hindu teachers are being forced to resign, losing their jobs with just two words.

The challenges faced by the minority Hindu community in Bangladesh are unending. After enduring attacks and persecution, Hindus are now being forced to resign from government jobs. Since August 5, nearly 50 Hindu academics have been compelled to resign.

How This Was Revealed

The Bangladesh Chhatra Ekya Parishad, the student wing of the Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council, revealed this information during a press conference on Saturday. Aaj Tak has obtained a list of the teachers who have resigned. A photo also surfaced of Shukla Roy, the principal of Government Bakarganj College, submitting her resignation. She was forced to write "I resign" on a blank piece of paper to submit her resignation.

Some teachers spoke to Aaj Tak and confirmed the resignations of Hindu teachers in Bangladesh. Sanjay Kumar Mukherjee, an Associate Professor in the Department of Public Administration and Governance Studies at Kazi Nazrul University, Bangladesh, said, "I am Sanjay Kumar Mukherjee, Associate Professor in the Department of Public Administration and Governance Studies at Kazi Nazrul University, Bangladesh. I was forced to resign from my positions as Proctor and Head of the Department. We feel very unsafe right now."

Exiled Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen wrote on X that "The situation in Bangladesh has become very concerning. Teachers are being forced to resign. Journalists, ministers, and former government officials are being killed, tortured, and imprisoned. Generation Z (GenZ) has set fire to Ahmadi Muslim industries, and Islamic extremists are destroying Sufi Muslim shrines and tombs. Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus remains silent on this entire crisis."
