Dr. Benkin is currently helping a group of Bangladeshi Hindu refugees who have been victimized and plundered by their country's Vested Property Law. This act has enabled Bangladeshi rulers and others to plunder, rape, and murder religious minorities. It has become the cornerstone of a decades-long effort at to ethnically cleanse Bangladesh of its non-Muslim population. He recently visited over a dozen refugee camps, observed porous borders, and met with numerous victims and organizations. He started organizing people and is committed to making the world aware of this genocide-in-the-making and securing justice for its victims.
Since 2006, Dr. Benkin also has been investigating and exposing the emerging South Asian threat stemming from the cooperation of radical Communists and radical Islamists. He has termed this the "Red-Green Alliance" and continues to speak about the atrocities and strategic advantages it already has carried out, as well as the very real threat it poses to us all.
