Tanviruzzaman Tonay:  Recently several liberal activists and concern Bangladeshis demanded to scrap of airing Indian Bengali Channels in Bangladesh. The smoke of this demand surrounded the mind of general (majority) Bangladeshis who also demanded to keep airing these channels in Bangladesh.   A writ petition has been filed in this connection where the court rejected the fear of liberal mind and ordered to proceed on with airing the TV Channels in the country. Now the question arouses the impact of airing Indian Bengali channel in Bangladesh. In overall point of view, the impact of this channel airing in Bangladesh is quite thunderous on the mind of general people of Bangladesh. There was an incident occurred in Sylhet where two parties were engaged in the serious fight over watching drama series ‘Kiron Mala’ in Television. The conflict ended in mass causalities.

His wrathful comments just before the US election helped him to gain popularity in term of mass appeal but the ratio difference of his vote between liberals and masses are huge. The imbalance of his power and the opinion of US media is polarizing day by day. In such time when Trump within his first few months banned people from seven Islamic country entering to United State, Marshella Ali and ‘The Salesman’ won big awards in the 89th Academy Award.  Marsheela Ali, who played a mentor in ‘Moonlight’ become the first Muslim to win the Academy award for acting. Do, giving award to him is a matter of resistance or it is a mere coincidence. ‘Moonlight’ showcased the issue of black people in United State and the constant ‘othering’. But, discourse created by blacks over period of time is now well appreciated in Hollywood. Marsheela Ali rep...
