#news of West Bengal

[ek-ranjhaan]

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.

THE STUDENTS OF BANGLADESH ARE DYING.

The so called students league called BCL or Bangladesh Chatro league, who are basically the rabid dogs of the rolling government of Bangladesh are attacking, assaulting and killing the students protesting against the Quota system that gives off government jobs for the children and grandchildren of freedom fighters of the liberation war. Our own prime minister called us rajakar (traitor who betrayed Bangladesh to Pakistan in 1971) and said anyone who isn't the child of declared freedom fighter is a child of a rajakar. So the students created a slogan "who am I? Who are you? Rajakar, rajakar!" Ignoring the irony of the slogan, the pm set her rabid dogs on the students, my people are dying because she (pm) refuses to let go of nepotism. We can't use our freedom of speech. Please help us.

Our Internet is being cut off, our accounts are being hacked, our electricity is said to be gone soon. SPREAD THE WORD.

যেন একফালি মেঘভাসা শরৎ আকাশ লতায়পাতায় জড়িয়ে বাঁধা পরে আছে ধুলামাটির পৃথিবীতে। কত কষ্টে মনে পরে সেই মুকুলঝরা বেহায়া বসন্তের বেলা । পলাশডালের আড়ালে শুকসারির গান , আর তোমার নূপুর নিক্বণের পিছু পিছু এসে পরা শিমুল তুলোর দেশের ভারি অসভ্য এক দস্যি দখিন হাও��া , সে যেন কত কালের কথা । মাথা চুলকে আরো কিছু মনে পর���র আগেই শুকনো রাধাচূড়ার লালটুকু বুকে আগলে ধরে ছাদের পাশ কেটে সূর্যখানা পাটে যায় । সাঁঝবেলার বেলফুলের মত দুটি ছোট্ট তারা হাত ধরাধরি করে আকাশের লালনীল আলো আঁধারির ভেতরে কানামাছি খেলে আর তক্ষুনি তোমার কথাটা মনে পরে যায় ...."বসন্তের সূর্য তো , অনেক রং টং পাল্টে তবেই ডুববে ..এমনি এমনি নয়"। জানলার বাইরে শুক্লপক্ষের চাঁদ পানপাতায় মুখ ঢেকে হেসেছিল ঠোঁট চেপে । বাইরে ভরাট জোছনা যেন আকালের দেশের অকাল কোজাগ��ী ,

দোল পূর্নিমাটা যে ঠিক কবে , আমার খেয়াল পরেনা...।।

Never in my life did I imagine I’d have to email my professor and tell him that I know I was supposed to write a paper on the fast fashion industry and its impact using Bangladesh as case study and I know it’s worth like half my grade but fortunately for them, they happened to overthrow their government and unfortunately for me, this means that all their government websites are down which is kind of putting a damper on research for the paper so could please get an extension

No labour budget has been approved for West Bengal for 2023-24 under MGNREGS, keeping workers in a state of constant worry about their survival. Many have not received their wages due from 2021. Some have joined ongoing protests in New Delhi that began in February 2023, demanding their dues and rights for guaranteed work. MGNREGS, introduced in 2005, has served as a lifeline for rural workers whose livelihood entirely depend on it. Those registered can demand up to 100 days’ work with an average income of Rs 213 daily. The lack of funds have resulted in a food crisis for many in the state.

International Working Women's Day

International women's day ❌ International working women's day ✅

The advent of the neo-liberal economy gradually replaced the International Working Women’s Day with the International Women’s Day. IWWD was the result of a long anti-capitalist struggle for social, political and economic freedom from discrimination against working women on the basis of gender.

The removal of the word “working” is a worldwide attempt to vilify the significance of this struggle. Today we take a stand against it and wish you all a Happy International Working Women’s Day.

Let us destroy the patriarchy and the capitalist society and become cognizant about and participate in this great struggle.

"If wealth was the inevitable result of hard work and enterprise,then every woman in Africa would be a millionaire" - George monbiot

Long live struggling women.

Independence day? The very foundation of Independence is safety. What is the point of hoisting the tricolor when the white is stained with red.

There was a time when people believed of this profession as next to God's, people would fall into the feet of healthcare workers, join their hands to thank them. I think you guessed it already, medicine. And now?

"A female doctor resting in R.G. Kar hospital's seminal hall gets raped, brutalized, murdered."

"a doctor was tied to a tree, robbed and his wife and daughter gang-raped in Gaya district of Bihar"

"two resident doctors of Banaras Hindu University were beaten up by patient's attendants and goons"

"Two resident doctors of JJ Hospital, Mumbai were beaten up by patient's relatives"

"Two medical residents working at the Sassoon Medical College were brutally thrashed; a junior resident doctor suffered a skull fracture; a doctor suffered fractured ribs and broken bones"

"a junior lady doctor on night duty was stabbed to death by a patient"

And this has recently come to light. We have never even talked about our nursing staff and the amount of harassment they face. If doctors commit suicide from exploitation and extreme mental and physical breakdown, nurses commit suicide as result of extreme harassment and abuse, be it physical, sexual, mental. I hope everyone remembers Aruna Ramchandra Shanbaug.

The non-medic communities are not even willing to take a stand for us.

Everyone wants world-class but affordable treatment, even free treatment, free medicines and empathetic and responsible doctors, but no one has the bloody balls to take a stand and raise their voices for us.

This is not what our families sent us for. This not what we opted for. This is not what we're working are asses off for.

If you cannot see your Bangladeshi moots online today it's because the government shut off the internet and call lines amidst the violence they are enacting upon their own student protests. I personally haven't been able to contact my family and friends back home for more than 10 hours.

I don't know if anyone is following this anymore, but you should, and so: new update on R.G. Kar Case: The Sealdah Sessions Court found the sole prime accused Sanjay Ray guilty and sentenced him to life imprisionment and asked him to pay a fine of Rs. 50,000.

In court, Roy had claimed that he was innocent and that he had been tortured and framed.

There was an option for the capital punishment, and a few people (including the CM, CBI, and possibly the doctor's parents) appear to be unhappy that he didn't get it; so maybe someone will take it to a higher court afterwards.

You can find news articles on it here and here.
