Hindu family escapes Bangladesh fearing for life, detained in Tripura

Sankar Chandra Sarkar, a middle-aged driver from Kishoreganj in Bangladesh, never imagined he would have to leave his birthplace for safety. But escalating threats against Hindu minorities following a political shift in Bangladesh left him no choice.
In search of protection, he, along with his family, crossed into India, trekking through hilly terrains and uncharted paths for nearly 24 hours before reaching Tripura.
The family, which included an elderly relative and minor children, believed their ordeal was over when they arrived in Kamalpur in Dhalai district. Using public transport, they made their way to Ambassa railway station, intending to travel to Silchar in Assam, where they had arranged for rented accommodation. However, due to a mistake that revealed their identities, they were detained by the Government Railway Police (GRP) at the station.
Recounting his harrowing experience under the interim government in Bangladesh, Sarkar said, “Even if I am sent to jail for the rest of my life, I will accept it. But I will never return to Bangladesh. The country is no longer conducive for Hindus to live. Almost every Hindu wants to leave, but many are bound by obligations like jobs, businesses, and property. I am a simple man, so I could take this bold step.”
Sarkar described the worsening conditions for Hindus in Bangladesh following the fall of Sheikh Hasina’s government. He alleged that attacks on minorities had intensified, and religious discrimination had become pervasive.
“All our liberties were taken away. We didn’t have the right to live with dignity. We had no choice but to leave for our safety,” he said, visibly emotional.
Sarkar detailed the challenges he faced in daily life. “I wasn’t allowed to operate my vehicle freely. Passengers often refused to pay for rides, and if I protested, I was accused of wrongdoing. The safety of our children was also a major concern. It became impossible to survive there,” he said.
Before leaving Bangladesh, the family sold most of their property at a significant loss, as buyers were unwilling to purchase from Hindu sellers.
Their journey into Tripura began at Kamalpur and ended at Ambassa railway station, where they were intercepted. Sarkar made it clear that they have no intention of returning to Bangladesh, regardless of any future improvements. “The situation can deteriorate again at any time. We cannot risk going back,” he said.
Inspector Pintu Das of the GRP at Ambassa station confirmed the detention of the family. “Acting on a specific input, they were arrested at Ambassa railway station. The group consisted of four males and six females, including children and an elderly person. We have started an investigation and registered a specific case against them,” he said.
When asked about the family's motive for entering India, Das said, “As per the preliminary interrogation, they stated that they had entered India for safety and protection. They were supposed to reach Silchar to settle down initially.”

1971? Even before that slowly slowly they started coming! They were already 20% in 1950. Those who came after 1971 should be moved to other states equally.. Tripura should not suffer alone!

[@jai22udhdbdjdjdud]

​@MM-xe7zvdtygt do you oppose partition yes or no. Is bangladesh willing to join india. Do they truly see hindus as brothers. If they do then what percentage. This is a perfect time for bangladeshis to show who they are. I know some bangladeshis have already condemned the attacks. Right now more pakistanis oppose partition. If thats not the case prove me wrong since your lecturing him.

Most of the Bangladeshis come to Assam or Tripura and settle in search of livelihood. To do business or jobs. Then how come hindu cricketers Soumya Sarkar and Liton Das are still playing international cricket for Bangladesh?

[@abhijitchatterjee7408]

The GOI aka the BJP is dragging its feet back in the matter of giving unconditional citizenship under CAA. Though it used this act to garner votes of the Hindus. Every such Hindu who has arrived in India or willing to settle in India should be unconditionally given citizenship and settle them. The GOI and state governments are deliberately delaying identification of the illegal Bangladeshi Muslims and deporting them to Bangladesh.
