The recent political unrest in Bangladesh has taken a violent turn, with hundreds of Hindu homes, businesses, and temples being vandalized following the ouster of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

India's External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar expressed concerns over the attacks on minorities.

The New York Times faced backlash for initially labeling the violence against hindus as "revenge attacks" before changing its headline.

Meanwhile, Al Jazeera, the Qatar-based news outlet with a Muslim-oriented perspective, minimizing the violence against Hindus, by saying it as "Islamophobic", with some accusing it of promoting Indian propaganda.

Amid the chaos, India has evacuated non-essential staff from its embassy in Bangladesh.
