At Bangladesh’s birth in 1971, Hindus were about a fifth of the population; today, they’re one in 15 due to an unbroken string of human rights atrocities from murder and gang rape to land seizures and forced conversion. A Quiet Case of Ethnic Cleansing is this author’s first-hand expose of how successive Bangladeshi governments, including the current one, has rejected the values of their constitution, became complicit in the murder of Hindus, and found a way to dupe the international community into silence.
“Benkin aptly details the scenario of millions killed, millions at risk, and billions silent. He goes to the roots of ethnic cleansing, describes how it is taking place, and how the Government colludes with Islamists to get the minorities eliminated....Benkin has not sacrificed hard facts for political correctness. ”
“A Quiet Case of Ethnic Cleansing: the Murder of Bangladesh’s Hindus shatters the myth of Bangladesh as a moderate Muslim nation and delves deeply into the origins and causes of the violence and oppression that has plagued its Hindu community. The culmination of tireless activism and rigorous independent research, Dr. Benkin’s fascinating account brings a much needed voice to the millions of Bangladeshi Hindu victims who have suffered violence, discrimination, and indignity in silence.”
“Dr. Richard L. Benkin’s analytical and research-based book, A Quiet Case of Ethnic Cleansing: The Murder of Bangladesh’s Hindus is a comprehensive and evidential text portraying the injustice, torture and dispossession the Hindus in Bangladesh had to undergo during last several decades.... but the incursions on Hindus in Bangladesh have gone on and on in ominous ways which have remained unexposed for the most part under cover of political gambits-this message emanates lucidly from the pages of Dr. Richard L. Benkin’s book A Quiet Case of Ethnic Cleansing.
