It's a learning for Iskcon, they distributed them food and gave shelter while in flood. Bangladeshis wants Hindus either to convert or leave Bangladesh. These religions can never be trusted.

ISKCON aren’t the threat; they’re keeping a centuries-old tradition going, not rioting or pushing any agenda. It’s wild how this hate for Hindus just gets brushed off, but when extremists go on a rampage, it’s radio silence. This is real intolerance. Maybe start worrying about…
