I have been deeply, deeply affected by social media sensation Ashraful Hossen Alom’s (mostly known as Hero Alom) rendition of Amaro Porano Jaha Chay (lyrics by Rabindranath Tagore).
Love, Death & Robots: "Jibaro" and the futile fantasy of feminine revenge
How feministic is the female revenge fantasy in films?
Why should we need to demand safe roads?
