Deepak Kumar Goswami Speaking: Being Hindu in Bangladesh is Not a Black and White Story

Deepak Kumar Goswami is a Bangladeshi stage and film actor who is also a Hindu. He participated in the popular uprising that led to the ouster of Sheikh Hasina and her authoritarian Awami League government on August 5, 2024. As Hasina fled to New Delhi, a narrative emerged from India’s establishment media that the people's movement was an Islamist revolt and that Bangladesh’s Hindu population was being targeted and terrorized. Acutely aware of the fact that minorities 'live under constant psychological pressure everywhere', he set out to make a short documentary separating fact from fiction and capturing what really happened to Bangladesh’s Hindus after Hasina’s ouster. This is his film.
