PRADIP KUMAR CHAKRAVARTY: It happened soon after the first kar seva in Ayodhya in 1990 when Hindu fundamentalists desecrated the Babri mosque. As caretaker of the Dhakeswari Temple in old Dhaka, I became the obvious target of Muslim zealots who were screaming revenge for the masjid incident. It was the most terrifying experience in our life and we will never forget it. We had heard of scattered violence in Chittagong and elsewhere where some Hindu families were attacked at will. Although there was rising tension, no violence took place in Dhaka.
