On the first-page of Literary
History, an online journal collection, the tragic death of Rezaul Karim is
reported. He was allegedly killed by none other than his own student, who
killed his mentor for teaching “immorality” through English Literature. We were
asked to consider the actual reason(s) behind this attack and some answers were
put forth which includes: that the ill-fated professor used to express his
ideas with full freedom of opinion, that the former student was himself a
conservative and breached liberal ideas … and so on. In truth, we all agreed to
a point that the word “immorality” invariably pointed a finger at the invisible
existence of “women”. It may happen that the fated professor used to talk of
women as independent-thinking women who are/were capable of expressing their thoughts
and actions in a free-spirited way. This is a bitter truth that is not always accepted
by the society, which is largely represented by male-centered opinion.
