On October 13th, the Bangladesh government deployed paramilitary troops for the Durga Puja festival, a significant Hindu festival, due to violent attacks on Hindu minority neighborhoods across the country. At least seven people were confirmed dead and over 100 injured during the violence in the city of Cumilla. The violence started when a picture circulated online showing the Quran was allegedly placed beneath the feet of a Hindu god, Ganesh Murti, inside a Durga Puja temple. The picture went viral, and in response to the alleged “disrespect” of the holy book, violence broke out in Cumilla and spread to other cities like Begumganj, and the nation’s capital, Dhaka. Al Jazeera reports that “government and security agencies have described the recent incident as planned, with the aim of destabilizing the country.” Aside from the human casualties, buildings, temples, and houses were damaged or burned. At least 70 temples were burned during the violence, according to the Bangladesh Hindu-Buddhist-Christian Unity Council.
