Boro Pobitro Amar Shohor: Focusing on social injustice
The girl (or rather a spirit) tells him the story of her life. She reveals that a village moneylender took away her gold nose-ring because she could not repay a debt. The girl reveals the startling truth: she had committed suicide due to her inability to lead a dignified, debt-free life. The scared-to-death Hashmi hears the girl say, "I took my life only because I could not repay a debt of Taka 300. But what about you whose unpaid debt runs into the millions?"
This is the story of Boro Pobitro Amar Shohor, written by Anisul Haque and directed by Amitabho Reza. The premiere show of the TV play was held at the Liberation War Museum Tuesday last. The writer Anisul Haque said, "The script is based on a true story. I read one such news item and was moved by the sad story of the girl. She had no other choice but to commit suicide, even if it was for a small amount. What justice can there be, when affluent businessmen get away scot-free despite being defaulters of crores of taka and even hold a prestigious position in the society?"
