A six storied building with a Temple was constructed along the Ma Moitree Bhaban Momin Road formerly known as Hari Khola Math (Field). In the light of our magnificent cultural heritage an enormous contribution to the world, society, civilization, culture and moral values of the Hindus have been enlightened to modern humankind. From the age of VEDA and UPANISHADA till to-day’s asupicious conjunction, our culture and religion are perpetually flowing from time immemorial. In this awkward predicament world of hunger, poverty, death and disease, our eternal message is still pronounced through million’s voice for the establishment of parity, goodwill, peace and humanity. On the other hand, it is true that continuous conflicts between various ideologies and opinions, selfishness, self centeredness, bewildered social environment, volatile economy, disunity and lack of confidence, unethical mental desire are continuously chasing us towards a serious disaster. Our social and religious life became fragile. An unhealthy and unusual atmosphere slowly and slowly rather in the fastest speed in encircling us. The whole society is trying to move forward with broken legs. The HINDU SOCIETY is not an exception but fully emerged in the hassle. To protect the whole society from such degradation, necessity has been felt seriously to relieve us of the hindrances o all ills. This agonizing feeling is for all individuals and for the people of all walks of life society. The worsening condition of Hindus, in general, in Bangladesh cannot be dreampt of by any civilized society of the world. After proper evaluation of the prevailing hydraheaded problems, the consicious section o the Hindu Society of Chittagong felt the determined necessity of forming an organaisation like Bangladesh Hindu Foundation in the year 1982. They came to a consensus that on the basis of concerted efforts, co-operation, sincere participation of all the people of the society, a full-fledged service-oriented forum can only materialize the expectation of the society to a great extent. Because, ‘Unity in Diversity’ is the ago old philosophy and that phiphilosopy opinions thoughts unity’s adoration is our religion’s main character and that is the only way to extend consciousness of freedom which is the prime need of the day. Keeping such noble view ahead” BANGLADESH HINDU FOUNDATION’ has been formed as a socio-religio-economic organaisation. Foundation’s clear concept is, we are all religious but not bigot. We are totally against all types of religious prejudice and bigotry. Religion, to Foundation, means humanity, society-consciousness, patriotism, mutual patience, endurance for humankind, development and we are engaged to put forward all these ideologies ahead. Because, we believe “He who loves mankind, serves The God”. For national interest, social and religious crippledom, protecting Hindu Society through social services Foundation is confirmed to work in all the stages. Of course, some social services are related to total human community irrespective of caste, creed, colour and religion. This organization hates bigotry as it is a terrible enemy of the humanity. The Hindu Foundation is by no means a commercial organization. It has been experienced that communalism cannot be eradicated by counter communalism, rather it is possible to create an elegant society through good wishes and love for everybody in the society.
