In 2026, Hindus in Bangladesh faced attacks and cruelty again, just like in the past several years. These inhuman acts went far beyond what the Hindu community could accept. Killing people, attacks on temples and other religious places, grabbing land, and forcing Hindus to convert became common events. (BD Hindu Persecution January 2026)
Because of this ongoing harassment, the number of Hindus in Bangladesh is falling quickly.
After the big uprising in August 2024, attacks on Hindus continued in 2025 and in 2026 also. There were many more attacks on Hindu temples and shrines. People destroyed and disrespected the idols of Hindu gods and goddesses more than before. The government also targeted Hindus for allegedly insulting the state religion. Situation did not get improved after new government.
On top of this, there were many attacks on Hindu women.
Several incidents of Hindu persecution in Bangladesh, occurred on January 2026, have been compiled together and published as a monthly report. You can download the report here.
