HOWRAGHAT, Feb 14: A Bangladeshi Hindu Bengali speaking group has raised the demand for the creation of an independent “Bongobhumi” by carving out six districts from Bangladesh ‘for protection of the Hindu minority’ in Bangladesh. It has called a special meeting of the Banga Sena held on Friday at Shimuluguri Garubandha village in Nagaon district.
Addressing the gathering, Banga Sena Commander Narayan Das and Vice-Commander Nakul Das formally urged the Government of India and the United Nations to support the formation of a sovereign “Bongobhumi” state comprising these specific Bangladesh districts.

The leaders stated that the organisation is operating under the direct instructions of Bimal Majhi. The group revealed plans to take their movement to the national capital, Delhi, to pressure the central government. The demand for a separate Bongobhumi was framed as a necessary step for the “protection and rights of the Hindu minority” in the region.
The Banga Sena leaders emphasised through the media that their movement is a struggle for justice and the fundamental rights of the community. The meeting has sparked significant discussion across the region due to its geopolitical implications and the boldness of the separatist rhetoric.
