Summary: For decades, liberals like Amartya Sen have claimed Bangladesh to be the paragon of peace, harmony and tolerance in the Indian subcontinent. The massive rise in Hindu persecution post August 2024 has proved that the liberal narrative of Bangladesh could not have been more wrong. The book uncovers the story of Bangladesh that the alleged left had actively attempted to suppress and censor. It dispels the myth of 21 February as well as the language movement in East Pakistan. The story of Bangladesh is that of subversion of Hindus and Buddhists through legalized thefts to waves of pogrom to constant discrimination while paying lip service to the rhetoric of secularism. After being the victim of violence in East Pakistan/Bangladesh, Bengalis are now facing the loss of their identity with the noise of Greater Bangladesh called by Maulana Bhasani becoming louder. The conferring of the award of the greatest Bengali to Mujibur Rahman or the peddling of the complete distortion of history by the Encyclopedia Britannica that Bengali ethnicity was born from a massive migration of people from the middle east around 1,400 years ago are its two expressions. In conclusion, the book calls for safeguarding the Bengali identity and language by preventing its appropriation by the Bengali-speaking Islamists.
