'Hindu Lives Matter': Hundreds rally in Houston to protest Bangladesh violence
International Desk
More than 300 Indian Americans and Bangladeshi-origin Hindus staged a peaceful protest in Houston, Texas on Sunday to denounce what they described as escalating violence against Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh.
Demonstrators called on the Biden administration to take immediate action to protect religious minorities in the South Asian nation, which has plunged into turmoil after the dramatic ouster of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
After Hasina's abrupt resignation and flight abroad on August 5 brought an end to her 15 years of autocratic rule, there were numerous reports of attacks against Hindu households, temples and businesses.
