Background: Discrimination based on religion and communal violence against religious minorities have been on the rise worldwide. Despite growing incidences of violence against religious minorities, little is known about the population health consequences of such events, especially in the low-and-middle income countries (LMICs). This study intends fill this gap by assessing the prevalence of hypertension among religious minority women in Bangladesh, a South Asian country with high levels of social hostilities involving religion.Methods: Using data from the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS) 2017-18, we examined whether religious minority women had a differential risk of having hypertension. We estimated logistic regression models to obtain the odds in favor of being hypertensive among women aged 18 to 49 years. We compared the odds for religious minority women with that of their non-minority counterparts. We then estimated linear regression models to examine how average systolic- and diastolic- blood pressure measures differ across minority and non-minority women.Results: We found that the odds of being hypertensive for minority women were 1.43 (95% CI: 1.14-1.79) times that of their non-minority counterparts. The adjusted odds ratio was very similar, 1.44 (95% CI: 1.13-1.84), when various sociodemographic and other risk factors were accounted for. The conditional average SBP and DBP levels were respectively 3.46 mmHg (95% CI: 1.77-5.15) and 1.67 mmHg (95% CI: 0.67-2.68) higher among minority women.Conclusions: Thus, we found evidence that religious minority women in Bangladesh had a disproportionately higher risk of having hypertension compared to their non-minority peers. These results call for further research on psychological distress from systematic discrimination and collective trauma among religious minorities in Bangladesh.

My attention drew to this subject when I meet Dr. Richard Benkin in 2012 during his tour for book ''A Quiet Case of Ethnic Cleansing: The Murder of Bangladesh's Hindus by Dr. Richard L. Benkin, Akshaya Publication, 2012''. After some years, I came across news that four secular bloggers were hacked to death in 8 months in 2015 for raising voice against religious fundamentalism in Bangladesh & last year in September, Indian government has decided to grant citizenship to Chakma Buddhist & Hajong Hindus who are living in India from 1964 as refuge due to the religious persecution in Chittagong in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). Then I have started collecting books, references and reports to study seriously on the subject of minorities in Bangladesh. I noticed that the minority condition in Bangladesh is completely ignored by all. Therefore I decided to write a booklet on minority massacre in Bangladesh.This book is result of my article series in ''mahamtb.com online portal'' & ''Mumbai Tarun Bharat'' during November 2017 to January 2018 originally published in Marathi. Incidentally Assam publishes first draft of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) on 1st January 2018 which has been updated for the first time since 1951. India is facing problem of illegal Bangladeshi intruders. These illegal immigrants has affected the demography of some Indian states especially Assam so government can identify illegal immigrants/infiltrators by updating NRC.The Union Home minister, Rajnath Singh has introduced ''The Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016'' in Lok Sabha on 19th July 2016, a Bill further to amend the Citizenship Act, 1955. The Bill has now been referred to a Joint Committee of both the Houses for examination and presenting a report to Parliament. The object of aforesaid Bill is to allow minority communities namely, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis & Christians from Afghanistan, Bangladesh & Pakistan who migrated to India without valid travel documents or document validity has been expired in recent years, to acquire Indian citizenship by the process of naturalisation. Previously then can apply for citizenship under section 5 of the Act, but are unable to produce proof of their Indian origin. Hence, they are forced to apply for citizenship by naturalisation under section 6 of the Act, which, inter alia, prescribes 12 years residency as qualification for naturalisation in terms of the 3rd Schedule to the Act. It is proposed to amend this period from 12 years to 7 years in this Bill (Reference: The Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016, Bill No. 172 of 2016) Bill is not introduced to increase Hindu voters because Bill clearly mentions not only Hindus but Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis & Christians also who are religiously persecuted minorities in aforesaid countries. Now another allegation is- why Muslim persecuted minorities like Rohingya Muslims from Myanmar, Shia or Ahmadiyya from Pakistan/Bangladesh are not included? First thing is that, not only Muslim but also 'Malaiha Tamils' (who fled to India in 1983 as refugee due to communal carnage in Sri Lanka) are excluded; other thing is that do Rohingya, Shia or Ahmadiyya taken refugees or asylum or applied for political asylum? On the contrary, most of them especially Bangladeshi & Rohingyas are illegally infiltrate into India & carrying fake/fraudulently obtained AADHAR, PAN & Voter-ID cards. Therefore we should take a note that this act specifically amended for aforesaid minority communities of the aforesaid countries only but that doesn't mean citizenship denied to Muslim legal immigrants. They can apply for Indian citizenship under other Citizenship Act.It's a Hindu & Buddhist genocide & world has turn a blind eye to this so therefore I decided to write on this deliberately ignored holocaust. I am not claiming that this is a flawless treatise so any corrections, suggestions etc are always welcome.
