China to construct three more dams on Brahmaputra river

Beijing (China) : China has approved construction of three more dams on Brahmaputra river in Tibet in addition to the one being built, and much to the disquiet of India, it has not been informed about the plans so far. A document approved by the Chinese cabinet recently mentioned three dams to be built at Dagu, Jiacha and Jiexu on Brahmaputra, Indian officials in Beijing said.

India, China back to sparring over Arunachal and Aksai Chin

New Delhi : India and China are back to sparring over territorial claims involving Arunachal Pradesh and Aksai Chin. It all started with the Chinese government showing Arunachal and entire Aksai Chin as part of its territory in maps of the country on their new e-passports. Unhappy at this, the Indian embassy in Beijing is said to be issuing visas to Chinese nationals with a map of India showing Arunachal and Aksai Chin as its territories. After the water marks in the new Chinese e-passports showed Arunachal and Aksai Chin as part of China, the Indian mission started issuing visas with Indian maps including these places as part of its territory. China had triggered a diplomatic row by issuing stapled visas to the residents of Jammu and Kashmir, terming it as a "disputed territory" and denied visas to those hailing from Arunachal Pradesh. Peeved over this action, India lodged a strong protest with China which subsequently reverte...

'Hindu women' gang raped in Bangladesh during 2001 elections

Will Indian Govt. take this issue with Bangladesh Govt., so that accused should get highest possible punishment ? Will all Human Rights organisations in India, who are always ready to fight for 'justice to minorities in India' (who are actually appeased by everyone in India), will ask Indian Govt. to take this issue strongly with Bangaldesh ? Dhaka (Bangladesh): A judicial commission has concluded that over 200 Hindu women were raped following the 2001 parliamentary election, forcing many terrorized families to flee the country. The acts were allegedly committed by cadres of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and its ally Jamaat-e-Islami who won the 2001 polls, the report said, citing the involvement of many top leaders and lawmakers of the alliance that is now in the opposition. While the commission referred to the victims as "minority women", media reports of that period had identified them as Hindus. With Begum Khaleda Zia as the prime minister, t...

Ethnic cleansing of Hindus in Bangladesh

By Richard L Benkin Hindu population has dwindled in Bangladesh primarily due to Government-tolerated murder, rape, forced conversion, land grabs, etc. Learn more about this from Benkin’s book, writes BB Kumar Partition in August 1947 was preceded, as well as followed, by unprecedented riots in the regions covering today’s Pakistan and Bangladesh, and as a reaction in other parts of India. Almost a million people were butchered; many millions crossed the newly created international boundary and became refugees. As a result, there was sharp decline in the Hindu population of West Pakistan — from 19.687 per cent in 1941 to 1.531 per cent in 1951 (Religious Demography of India, JK Bajaj and others). After Partition, as per Richard L Benkin’s latest book, A Quiet Case of Ethnic Cleansing: The Murder of Bangladesh’s Hindus, Hindus were a third of East Pakistan’s population; they remained less than a fifth in 1971 when East Pakistan became...
