Last week, Bangladesh’s Chief Adviser, Muhammad Yunus, warmly greeted the Janmashtami celebrations of the Hindu community within the country extending his heartfelt wishes. He Janmashtami praises Lord Krishna’s philosophy stating it will aid Bangladesh in fostering “mutual goodwill and brotherhood”. This reverberates very closely with the overlying fears of Hindu worshippers and temple violence in the country that spans over the past incidents dating from last August, when Yunus assumed office. As Lord Krishna, in his sheer undeterred wisdom, preaches the values of devotion to the creator and peaceful existence in society, Yunus, in his address, the adviser Lord reinforced drew parallel to very relevant and universal values. Yunus, reported by Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS) and PTI, accentuated the need to recognize the inspiring nature of Krishna’s message for all and its result pray and devotion towards peace unites all. Communal Harmony and Relationship with India Yunus’s endeavor will probably be ignored in India because of the lingering fears over protection of minority religions in Bangladesh. Yunus’s overriding support of “present arrangements of secularism and communal harmony” as a Bangladesh policy is seen by some as an attempt to promote intra-religious reconciliation, send goodwill to the region, and advance Indo-Bangladesh relations.Yunus’s comments align with what Bangladesh desires as far as national integration and harmonious coexistence — ideals that many people in the entire subcontinent relate to. Engaging Indian authority and Indian public sentiment, this might be seen as a positive diplomatic move in the perspective of inter-cultural confidence and enduring friendship between the nations.
