  1. I’m a Bangladeshi born in the UK, I follow news in India more than anywhere else, India needs to be honest and tell the world that it has a Muslim problem, once India admits that then we can decide what to do, fight till death or migrate, I know all Indians are not savages but there are enough Indians who are, a war is the only solution to this hatred and evilness, India has ways hated Muslims, in Bangladesh before the partition Hindus used to treat Muslims like dirt, So Bangladesh needs to be ready for war and so does Pakistan, you cannot ignore the ethic cleansing anymore.
