Sadhguru's comments follow reports of attacks on the homes and businesses of Hindus in Bangladesh amid the political turmoil following the ouster of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

He emphasised that protecting these communities is not just a diplomatic issue but also a moral and civilizational responsibility for India.

He also drew attention to the deep cultural and historical ties between India and the minorities in Bangladesh.

"What was part of this Nation unfortunately became neighborhood, but it is our responsibility to protect these people—who actually belong to this Civilization—from these shocking atrocities," Sadhguru remarked.

As the situation continues to develop, there is increasing pressure on the Indian government to address these concerns and take action.
