The fault with our 'Bandhobi'

I was not surprised when I learned Bandhobi, neither was I surprised by the reactions it incited. What surprised me was how quite a few people of note jumped to blindly defending her work. I am particularly stumped by an opinion published on the Daily Star by Arafat Kazi, titled “Defending my Bandhobi”. It’s important to remember that whatever the quality of work is, bullying or harassment of any type isn’t commendable.

Defending my 'Bandhobi'

You’ve witnessed YouTuber, comedian, and now author Raba Khan’s greatest achievement. I’m not talking about the publication of Bandhobi, but its aftermath. Khan has singlehandedly helped Bangladesh’s social media population become literary critics. Lovelorn 19-year-olds who were sending her friend requests last week with messages saying “tomake nyc lagca” are now qualified to pass judgment on linguistic integrity.
