#Bengali women

She has not just been raped and murdered, she was very much tortured and brutalized like Nirbhaya. It is all over the Bengali news. I don't understand why no one is talking about this.

A 2nd year Respiratory Medicine in a well known government medical college in Kolkata, West Bengal, India is found in a semi-naked state and the college/ hospital called it a suicide.

I'm a MBBS student in second year. After reading about her, what crossed my mind is the amount of times she would have felt this fear, before this worst fear of hers eventually materialized.

"A young resident doctor was found dead in the seminar room of her medical college in Kolkata. Initial autopsy report suggests possible rape and murder."

As all are saying,

She wasn't walking the street at odd hours. She wasn't wearing clothes that were provocative. She wasn't loitering in dangerous neighbourhoods.

She was a resident doctor, looking for a place to rest in her own hospital.

She had been on duty and had gone to rest in the early hours of Friday.

The one place which was supposed to guarantee her safety failed her, miserably.

Someone comes, rapes a female pg who is merely resting in a seminar hall because there is no proper place for her to rest, brutalized her and kills her. How did NO one know? The college and police initially call it a suicide. Excuse me? It is also being said that under pressure from local politicians, the Principal and Dean attempted to alter the post-mortem report. Autopsy confirms sexual assault.

What are the actions taken? One man arrested because his behavior seemed "shady". This is clearly not an act of one man. And this was a very well aware of and a well executed criminal act.

Also, all this happening in WB right when the situation of bangladesh is in turmoil and news of Bangladeshi Hindus being killed and tortured, seems wrong, VERY WRONG. Happening right before NEET-PG, as 24 lakh doctors prepare to write an exam on Sunday to be resident doctors, this news has wrapped us all in agony and rage,

What are they working so hard for? Why should they aspire to be in a system that ignores their basic needs? The minimum requirement of a workplace is safety. That should be non-negotiable.

This profession demands extereme hardwork, a lot of mental strength and Physical Assaults, harassment, low paying jobs with odd working hours with intense humiliation. Now its the worst of all seeing a bright mind losing her life in the most disrespectful state of all. This should never happen to any woman.

I'd also like to question why isn't any big media house covering this news, where are all the international news channels all this time.

What are the students in other medical colleges doing? This talks about their own safety and lives. What are the medical students across the world doing? It's time for us to stand for the most basic Human right, safety.

Yesterday when my roommate, an MBBS final year intern was heading for her night posting, I feared and prayed for her to come back safely. Thinking about it, in a few years I will also have night posting, I'll also return from my hospital duties late at night. I'll also have to go through the same fear, and I'll also have to keep praying that my worst fears don't turn into reality. So many female doctors, nursing staffs, other Healthcare workers, other working women, non-working women go through the same fear, probably multiple times a day.

It is a shame to be born in such a disgusting world and society, it is shame to witness such a brutal crime, and it is a shame to live in this fear daily.

Those RAPISTS need to be hunged infront of the whole natio...if needed burned alive. People should fear the idea of raping, more than getting raped.

WTF IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?

What is this gross fetishization and sexualization of Bengali women? I recently came across a reel on Bengali women, and it was a very simple reel. But the comment section 🤮

Men were slut-shaming and hurling creepy insults at Bengali women (even women were doing this). Almost every Bengali woman is apparently sexually active, a bloodsucker, and a man-eater. What is this? Slut-shaming an entire community for no reason at all?

Also, don't get me started on the whole black magic thing. I am tired of black magic jokes; they're not funny anymore. Especially when people are using it to justify their creepy behaviours. It's freaking 2024; you can't just go around calling women witches for being independent and liberal.

(that's not the only thing, they are also making homophobic comments on Bengali men , calling them weak and unable to control their women!

Oh also let me add, Bengali women are not ideal Indian women because they are too out spoken and independent.

OH FUCK YOU!

Since there's a trend of Miku dressed in everyone's country traditional style, I made her in Indian Bengali traditional style since I'm from India's state of West Bengal.

It's not exact but I tried using Gacha Nebula

নমস্কার সবাই। আমার নাম হাটশুনে মিকু। আমি প্রথমবার বাংলায় কথা বলছি তাই কিছু মনে করবে না।

Pronunciation:

Nomoshkar shobai। Amar naam Hatsune Miku। Ami prothombar Banglay kotha bolchi tai kichu mone korbe naa।

Translation:

Hello everyone. My name is Hatsune Miku. I am speaking Bengali for the first time so please don't mind.

some of my favorite Tagore adaptations in films:

Ghare Bhaire (The Home and The World), dir. Satyajit Ray

Charulata (adapt. of Noshtoneer / The Broken Nest), dir. Satyajit Ray

Kabuliwala, dir. Tapan Sinha

Mohihara, dir. Satyajit Ray

Samapti, dir. Satyajit Ray

Noukadubi, dir. Rituparno Ghosh

Stories by Rabindranath Tagore (anthology series), dir. Anurag Basu

Only the last one is in Hindi (rest in Bengali) and Basu has connected several stories of Tagore in the serries. So orginally, all the stories were separate but in the series some characters appear in more than one story.

Someone mircoagressed me last week by saying that islam doesn't let women get educated "based on what he's seen." unlike judaism and modern chirstianity, where education is led by women.

Maybe if you stop doing silly little things like decimating every single university in a muslim state that had high rates of female literacy and education ❤️

This guy is an athiest traumatized by church, but somehow it all translated to a hatred of islam over anything.

These people really don't see what huge white supremacists they are. The new norm for white people is to let go of all religion. You aren't unique or special for choosing that. It's your current norm.

And they get so mad when you refuse to drop your personal beliefs and bend to their current mainstream ideology as well. What does that sound liKKKe?

রোদের আলো উপচে পড়ছে

অপ্সরীর উরু সন্ধির মোহনায়,

যেখানে পৃথিবীর আদী অকৃত্রিম

রহস্যময় এক সরোবর,

আচেনা আলোর নাচনে

সরোবরের সীমানা গুলো দারুণ মায়াবী সৌন্দর্যে

ফুটে উঠছিলো,

নিজের অজান্তেই বলে উঠলাম

চুমুটা পড়ে থাক তোমার উরু সন্ধির সরোবরে
