Will Hindus Really Go Extinct? The Shocking Research of Psychologist Dr. Rajat Mitra.
The West Bengal election result was not merely a political shift — it was a psychological response to the deep “fear of extinction” among Hindus. Professor at Amity University and renowned psychologist Dr. Rajat Mitra analyses this extraordinary crisis on Sangam Talks.
His research on Bangladeshi Hindu refugees revealed 6 stages: humiliation, persistent threats, destruction of identity, and ultimately, displacement. He explains that the Hindu population in Bangladesh shrank from 25% to just 1–3%, and the same pattern had begun to emerge in West Bengal as well. It was this fear that compelled millions of Hindus to unite and vote together this time.
Dr. Mitra also offers a deep interpretation of transgenerational trauma — the unspoken pain of Bengali Hindus from the 1905 Partition through to 1971. He also sheds light on the silence of Hindu religious leaders regarding the existential crisis and the urgent need for psychological rebuilding.
