The Bloody Autumn

A Publication On The Plights of Bangladesh Minorities

Let us look back to the forgotten ethnic cleansing, genocide and exodus of Bangladeshi minorities. The story starts in 1946 and continues through 1950, 1964, 1971, 1972, 1990, 1992, 2001 to today. This book was prepared in the aftermath of the 2021 mass attacks against minorities throughout the country. The ongoing pogrom resulted in a decline in Hindu populations from 28% to nearly 8%. However, the tragic stories and the agony of Bangladesh minorities are always kept out of history. This book is an attempt to document the plights of Bangladesh Minorities. Most of the vital mass attacks took place in the autumn season of Bangladesh and hence, the naming of the book “The Bloody Autumn”.
