I’m an ex-atheist so it’s complicated. If I’m taking off my religion hat, I would say yes. It enhances national unity and in-group loyalty, and the risk of antagonizing Pakistan seems to be of no real consequence. And it’s not like BD has any lack of people.

Now if I’m positing that human beings have intrinsic worth because god made them, and that we need to turn the other cheek and all that, then no, the process is deeply flawed and shouldn’t be happening.
