'Send Suicide Bombers To Kolkata': Bangladeshi Islamist's Terror Threats Against Hindus On Cam
A Bangladeshi Islamist threatened to take over Kolkata using Taliban-style suicide attacks while making hateful, derogatory remarks against Hindus.
A man, believed to be a Bangladeshi Islamist, was caught on camera openly talking about taking over Kolkata using Taliban-style tactics, including suicide bombings.
During his speech, he was also heard spewing venom against Hindus.
A video of the Islamist was shared by the 'Voice of Bangladeshi Hindus' X handle, wherein he could be heard speaking in his native language.
'If the Bangladesh army tells me now, go capture Kolkata, I'll make a plan. Forget about using 70 fighter jets, I wouldn't even use seven planes to take over Kolkata. Why would I need 70 planes? I know who lives there, people who worship statues," he said, in reference to Hindus.
'I know their favourite foods are dirty things like urine, dung, and turtles, I know how little they understand, I know how weak they are physically. I know how much faith they have in their religion. I know all this. If you don't know these things, you can't be a Muslim commander, got it?"
'I know how scared these Hindus get when they see blood. These statue-worshippers are terrified of it," he added.
Further, the Islamist said he would send suicide bombers to Kolkata if the Bangladesh army allows him.
'If the Bangladesh army gives me permission, here's what I will do – I'll send the most suicide bombers to Kolkata. What will I use? Suicide bombers. Islamic Ayat, their rule is 'Die first, then kill'. GenZ says 'Never heard this before, first time hearing it. But, sir, how can I kill Hindus after I'm dead?' Islamic Ayat, 'Kill, then die'," he said.
'I'll attack, and then they'll hit me. There's another verse I learned in Arabic countries, Islamic Ayat, 'Die first, then kill the Kafirs', this is the system the Taliban used to defeat two superpowers – America and Russia," the Islamic was heard saying.
'Say 'Allahu Akbar', they used bikes with bombs strapped to their bodies, they rode towards the army camps, they got shot with bullets. One bullet doesn't kill you right away. They crashed their bomb-filled bikes into the camp's wall. The moment it hit, there was a huge explosion, and 300 American citizens died and the camp was destroyed. Who died first? The Muslim biker. Who did he kill after? The Kafirs," he said.
Islamists are reportedly planning to take over Kolkata using Taliban-style tactics, including suicide bombings. Their determination is clear, and hatred toward Hindus is growing among segments of the Bangladeshi Muslim population. pic.twitter.com/sVolchZo0v — Voice of Bangladeshi Hindus 🇧🇩 (@VHindus71) May 12, 2025
The widely shared social media video comes amid the ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan, in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack, which killed 26 innocent tourists.
Indian armed forces carried out 'Operation Sindoor' from 01.05 am to 01.30 am on May 7, striking nine terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir.
Immediately after the strikes, India's Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) informed his Pakistani counterpart that the attacks were directed only at terror groups and the Indian side was ready to talk.

'No corruption, yes to Europe': On cardboard, a Gen-Z revolution that forced Zelenskyy step back
A Gen-Z-led protest took over Ukraine to raise voice against a bill that would have seen the country's top independent anti-corruption bodies be brought under political control. The story of the Cardboard Revolution that compelled Zelenskyy to change his stance. read more A protest against a law that removed the independent status from two key Ukrainian anti-corruption bodies, in Kyiv, on July 23, 2025. AFP A Gen Z-led protest that has taken over Ukraine has forced the country's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to make a U-turn on a controversial bill. In Ukraine, cardboard signs are being used in the anti-corruption campaign that has taken over the war-torn nation. The bill in question would have seen the country's top independent anti-corruption bodies brought under political control, which would have made these institutions vulnerable to political sway. The cardboards marked creative and provocative placards in cities around Ukraine, in a bid to protest against the bill. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD What made these demonstrations significant was the fact that more than 69 per cent of Ukrainians supported the protests, according to the latest findings by the Gradus Research Company. These signs raised by dissenters quoted songs, pop culture references and literature, and occasionally featured explicit language. The Gen-Z protest What made these demonstrations interesting was the fact that it was led by groups of people aged mainly between 15 and 23. 'I've been complaining for a long time that the motivation to fight has disappeared somewhere. But I want to thank Mr. President, if it weren't for the shit that these idiots decided to arrange, I wouldn't have seen what kind of great children have grown up in Ukraine. They're worth fighting for. They've raised motivation,' Ukrainian soldier Oleksii Tsymbaliuk told Politico. While the country is at war, Ukraine was known for a rich protest culture, where people often took to the streets to hold politicians accountable. Demonstrations have been a key feature of the country's fabric since the 1990 Revolution on Granite that preceded independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, the 2004 Orange Revolution, and the 2014 Maidan Revolution. The Cardboard Revolution that has taken over the country amidst a war is driven by youth who grew up in a country already on the path to EU integration, while immersed in TikTok filled with Ukrainian and Western pop-culture and literature. 'This is indeed a very creative and well-read protest. It is within the tradition of Ukrainian revolutions. For example, the Orange Revolution of 2004 was also very theatrical in itself, but the protesters there were playing with colour, not quotes,' Olesia Ostrovska-Liuta, director general of the National Cultural, Art and Museum Complex, Mystetskyi Arsenal," told Politico. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Before every rally across the country, young protesters came up with new messages to send to the government. 'From a quote of Ukrainian modern poet Serhii Zhadan, 'Why the f**k do I need a system that works against me?' to the words of Vasyl Stus, Ukrainian decedent poet from the 1960s, who once said 'Those who are against dictatorship, rise!'' Ostrovska-Liuta added. 'This protest has more self-confidence and self-expression, as well as an aspect of virality. Someone's creative cardboard sign gets recreated multiple times,' Ostrovska-Liuta averred. Another powerful message featured on T-shirts that read 'People with cardboard are the source of power'. The impact Amid the protests and backlash from political opponents, Zelenskyy rapidly signed a bill restoring the independence of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAP). While they were holding protests, memes and jokes helped these groups to cope with social media backlash. They also had to navigate through the attempts by foreign politicians, such as Republican US congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, to use the protests to undermine Zelenskyy. 'In no way do we stand for overthrowing the government, we stand for anti-corruption reform and for protection of what the EuroMaidan revolution has fought for,' one of the demonstrators told Politico. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD After the Ukrainian parliament restored the independence of anti-corruption bodies, protesters now plan to continue rallying — this time demanding additional reforms needed for Ukraine's EU integration and to secure the foreign aid essential to its war effort.

Legality & Loopholes: Why Arya Samaj Marriages Are Facing Court Heat
Last Updated: Arya Samaj marriages offer a quick route for interfaith and inter-caste couples, but rising misuse by fake groups is triggering legal and social scrutiny. The Allahabad High Court on July 28 directed the Uttar Pradesh government to investigate the functioning of 'fake Arya Samaj societies" allegedly involved in conducting illegal marriages across the state. The directive came from a single-judge bench while hearing a plea by a man named Sonu, who is accused of abducting and sexually assaulting a minor girl from a different faith. He told the court that he had later married the girl at an Arya Samaj Mandir. Sonu claimed the two had married in an Arya Samaj Mandir in Prayagraj a day before the complaint was filed and that the girl later chose to live with him after becoming an adult. The court, however, found that the girl was a minor at the time of the alleged marriage, and that no valid religious conversion had taken place between the interfaith couple as required under the UP Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act, 2021. The court also noted the marriage certificate issued by the Arya Samaj was unregistered and possibly fabricated. The case has reignited debate around the legality of marriages conducted by Arya Samaj and the role these societies play in solemnising such unions. The court also highlighted concerns over the growing number of marriages facilitated by these organisations—many of which, it noted, may be operating as 'fake" Arya Samaj societies. Founded by Swami Dayanand Saraswati in 1875, the Arya Samaj began as a Hindu reform movement focused on reviving Vedic values. It gained significant influence in northern India, especially in regions like Punjab (now divided between India and Pakistan), during the late 19th century. One of the defining features of the Arya Samaj was its introduction of 'Shuddhi', or purification, which aimed to bring individuals from other faiths or ideologies into its vision of Vedic, monotheistic Hinduism. The Arya Samaj took a progressive stance on inter-caste and interfaith marriages. Before the Special Marriage Act (SMA), 1954, came into effect, it offered one of the few ways for Hindus to marry outside their caste or faith while still retaining their caste identity. To remove any ambiguity around the legality of such unions, the Arya Marriage Validation Act was enacted in 1937. This law formally recognised marriages conducted according to Arya Samaj rituals. These weddings follow a simplified set of Hindu ceremonies and require only that the couple is of legal age and identifies as Arya Samajis—regardless of caste or prior religious affiliation. The 1937 Act clearly states that Arya Samaj marriages cannot be considered invalid just because the individuals belong to different castes or were from another religion before the marriage. Why Do Couples Prefer Arya Samaj Weddings? The Hindu Marriage Act, 1955—which governs Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Sikhs—recognises marriages performed by the Arya Samaj. People from other religions can also marry under this system, provided they declare themselves members of the Arya Samaj. Many Arya Samaj temples are known to perform this conversion quickly, making the entire marriage process efficient. With minimal formalities, no lengthy waiting periods, and swift documentation, these ceremonies can be completed within a couple of hours. This convenience is particularly appealing to couples in love who face opposition from families or communities due to differences in caste or religion. While interfaith couples can also marry under the Special Marriage Act, it requires a 30-day public notice before the wedding, a step that can expose them to pressure or threats from family members or authorities. In contrast, Arya Samaj weddings offer a more private and faster alternative. How Do Fake Arya Samaj Societies Operate? While Arya Samaj marriages offer a quick and accessible option for couples facing barriers due to caste, religion, or social pressure, a growing number of fake organisations operating under the Arya Samaj name have emerged. These unauthorised groups often conduct marriages without proper checks, forged documents, and in some cases, even solemnise the weddings of underage brides. Why Are Authorities Cracking Down On Arya Samaj Marriages? A key legal question—whether Arya Samaj marriages should follow the procedures laid out in the Special Marriage Act—has been pending before the Supreme Court since 2022. Several states have passed stringent anti-conversion laws, which have led multiple High Courts to question the legality of Arya Samaj marriages, particularly those involving religious conversion. For example, under the Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act, 2021, Section 6 voids any marriage that involves an improper or unauthorised religious conversion. Sections 8 and 9 require a formal declaration 60 days before conversion and another after the conversion, both of which must be submitted to the District Magistrate. The authorities are also required to verify that the conversion is voluntary and lawful. Section 12 of the Act shifts the burden of proof to the accused, who must prove that the conversion, and by extension, the marriage, was not carried out through coercion or fraud. This legal presumption renders many such marriages invalid by default. As a result, Arya Samaj weddings, especially those involving 'Shuddhi' before interfaith marriages, are increasingly seen as incompatible with these legal requirements. Courts have flagged concerns that many Arya Samaj organisations are solemnising marriages without ensuring legal conversions or verifying the couple's eligibility. top videos View all Over the years, there have been several cases where High Courts have directed police to investigate such marriages, citing reports of forged documents, underage brides or grooms, and conversions done without proper procedure. In 2022, the Supreme Court remarked orally that the Arya Samaj had 'no business" issuing marriage certificates. Similarly, in 2023, the Delhi High Court instructed an Arya Samaj temple to ensure the authenticity of witnesses and couples before performing ceremonies.
