The total number of Baháʼís in Bangladesh is too small to have any major direct impact on society at large. However, the World Christian Encyclopedia estimated the Baháʼí population of Bangladesh about 9,603 in 2010. Baháʼís are widely persecuted in Bangladesh. According to The Business Standard the population is about 300,000. (en)
