Thread Name: BS: Women's rights in Bangladesh
Subject: RE: BS: Women's rights in Bangladesh
Funny you should say that, Carol. It has gotten a bit of aclaime, for the reason that it leaves the quesiton open. If you read the thread called "Rape" you will find the story of Punima Sheel, who held a press conference to break the stigma in her community and hold the light on the oppressors. Hindu women who have heard my song have asked me to dedicate the song to her. I am sorry if you don't understand why the question is left open, I have been told it has made Hindu men think about this. I would also point out that this is a community which in several decades has come a long way. Before the socialist revolution in Bangladesh, the victems of rape would be killed by their own families. Change is not complete, but it has come lightyears. I hope you understand the intent of the song.
Some mudcat women complained about the legnth! by the way!!!
All the best,
Larry
