REFLECTION

Is silencing creators okay?

Letting policymakers decide what's culturally acceptable is a sinkhole with rough edges. The same crowd plays Baby Doll at every holud.

By empowering policymakers into an ideology that they can limit what you see and what you do based on their personal beliefs - you are creating a sinkhole that has very rough edges.

And please, don't pull the religion/culture card. I only need to attend your holud to see you biting your own tail.

বাক-স্বাধীনতার মতোই গুরুত্বপূর্ণ অন্য সকল স্বাধীনতা।

When a generation decides that singing Baby Doll at every Holud Function is okay, but Obhodro Prem is not okay because a grand total of six inches of border separate the creators - you start to realize that there is something seriously wrong with our understanding of morality. Salman can do whatever makes him happy. You and I have a moral duty to keep ourselves away from what he does if our upbringing and culture taught us to do that. Forcing our culture on him is a veiled form of oppression that will fire back when the policymakers realize that they can use this same tool to silence you.
