A sacred crown of the revered Jeshoreshwari Kali Temple in Bangladesh was stolen in broad daylight. PM Modi gifted this crown to the temple in revernce to Maa Kali. Therefore, the theft of this crown is not just a criminal act – it is an echo of the Islamic brutality Bharat suffered and it is a symbol of the deepening crisis for Hindus in Bangladesh.
With anti-Hindu violence at its peak, Bangladeshi Hindus and Hindu temples face aggressive radical attacks daily. These crimes are whitewashed by the Western Media as “political” disagreements. However, this brazen crime against Maa Kali exposes how radicals are tightening their grip on the country. It unmasks how the interim head Mohammed Yunus turned a blind eye while enjoying his time in the USA.

On 10th October 2024, between 2-2:30 pm, the sacred crown of Maa Kali was stolen from the Jeshoreshwari Temple in Satkhira, Bangladesh. This temple is one of the 51 Shakti Peeths and is deeply revered by Hindus. The temple was left violated and disgraced by the theif. The theft came to notice when the cleaning staff discovered the crown missing. The gold-plated silver crown was a gift from PM Modi to the temple, on behalf of the Hindus of Bharat, during his visit in 2021. However, the gift was more than an offering of a Bhakt to a Deity.
Firstly, it paid homage to Maa Kali on behalf of the Hindu-majority of Bharat.
And it symbolized the bond between India and Bangladesh’s shared cultural heritage.
However, this theft is not an isolated incident. It comes during the Hindu festival of Navratri, a time meant to celebrate the divine feminine. Instead of celebrating the Mother Goddess, Hindus in Bangladesh face increasing terror. With temples desecrated and Puja Pandals under attack, Hindus of Bangladesh have their faith attacked under the watch of radicals in power.

While this theft of Maa Kali’s crown shocks the Hindu community, it is far from the most violent attack against Hindus in Bangladesh. Under interim leader Mohammed Yunus, anti-Hindu pogroms have reached unprecedented levels. The minority Hindus population stands are terrorized today. And the Durga Puja festival of Bangldeshi Hindus is marred by fear and violence.

Radicals control the streets, and Yunus, currently partying in the USA, shows no signs of concern for the Hindus facing persecution in his own country.
The crown theft is part of a larger, coordinated attack on Hindu culture and Sanatani heritage. The radicals have taken control of law and order, making it nearly impossible for Hindus to practice their religion freely. As the Western media stays silent or attempts to whitewash these attacks as political violence, the reality is a violent campaign to erase Hindu identity.

Consequently, the theft of Maa Kali’s crown is now symbolic of the eroding safety for Hindus in Bangladesh. The radicals and Islamists now control the nation of Bangladesh. Moreover, they stand emboldened by the lack of international outcry and have created a hostile environment for its minority Hindu and Buddhist population. Thus, temples like Jeshoreshwari, which hold profound religious importance, are being targeted by impunity.

Hence, this theft of Maa Kali’s crown isn’t just an act of greed, it is part of a larger plan to dismantle Hinduism in Bangladesh. It echoes the desecration Hindu places of worship suffered under the attack of Islamic invaders. Then too, the Hindu identity was harmed. And today as well, the theft is an attempt to tear away the Sanatani Identity of Bangladesh from the land.
Hence, from temple desecration to violent pogroms, Hindus live in fear while their history and culture are torn apart.
Thus, as the world turns its back, many questions remain to be answered. Who will stand for the Hindus in Bangladesh? Will the world label this desecration as a mere crime of greed? And does this symbolize the urgent need for Bharat to step forth and preserve Hindu Dharma and its roots in Bangladesh? Only time will tell!
