In 2021, a massive attack on Hindus during Durga Puja was carried out by some an angry mob in Cumilla. The scale of attack shocked the citizens. Muslim religious scholars, intellectuals, media, and civil society condemned the attack. We felt the need to stand in support of the country’s minority.
Students of the department of Government and Politics organized an open discussion on ‘communal violence’ with the department’s assistance. I was one of the organizers and the host of the event.
