Book review
My favourite book Abrodbasini
I really like the book Aborodbasini. Hey, I'm giving a very short review of the book. Even decades ago, our society was plunged into darkness and superstition.Women have been ruthlessly victimized a thousand times more than bad practices and superstitions have touched men. Illiteracy is the root of all superstitions. But still women did not have access to education in the society of that time.In the book he has narrated 47 stories at different times.
Where he joked about the oppression of women in the name of the veil.Husband's name cannot be mentioned, no one can go in front of anyone except husband or father or close ones.The man would hear her voice once or after it appeared and would sit on the palanquin all night, ignoring the cold. It was also found that the house was on fire but the man did not come out after it was burnt to death,It has been seen that the thief has taken off his jewelry for fear that he will touch her body and has not even shouted that he can hear her voice.
At that time, the law of veil was strictly followed and women were called by the name of veil It has been seen that the thief has taken off his jewelry for fear that he will touch her body and has not even shouted that he can hear her voice. At that time the law of the veil was strictly observed and women were oppressed in the name of the veil. There are also many incidents that seemed ridiculous at the time. And superstition was at the root of it all.
Begum Rokia shares her personal experiences and opinions in the book. Now women are not so much blockaders they have become much more educated and aware in the last few decades.But still a group continues to try to push women into the dark. Today's women also have to try like Rokeya. All kinds of superstitions must be eliminated.
