It follows Naima, a teenage Bangladeshi girl who lives in a crowded village. The movie’s plot, writing, and themes have a universal appeal and the setting helps give this story a unique twist.</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">Naima’s family struggles to make ends meet and when her father becomes too sick to pull his rickshaw, Naima decides that the only way she can help bring in money is to find work in the big city of Dhaka. One of the film’s most interesting aspects is the authentic portrayal of life in Bangladesh -- from the bustling outdoor markets in the village to the frantic, crowded streets of the city. It makes the setting seem like another character in the story and a vital component to Naima’s story arc. </span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="" src="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/2rickshawfilm.jpg" style="height:650px; width:445px" typeof="foaf:Image" /></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">Throughout the movie, Naima has to fight to keep her passion for painting alive. At first, her mother scolds her and says her art will never bring produce any income,  and when Naima moves to the city, it becomes apparent that an artist seemingly has no place in such a harsh environment. </span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">Naima eventually starts making money when she disguises herself as a male in order to get a rickshaw-pulling job. It’s a choice she struggled with to make and the movie does a good job of showing her inner turmoil without any dialogue. While she initially set out to make money, her journey becomes one about finding her place in the world. Her art is also a central part of the story, as her paintings and chalk drawings convey the movie’s themes and which is just beautiful to look at.   </span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="" src="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/3rickshawfilm.jpg" style="height:659px; width:463px" typeof="foaf:Image" /></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">One of the minor issues with the film is that the dialogue has a weird sound to it. At first, I thought there was another dub put over the original dialogue, but the film’s original cut uses both English and Bengali dialogue. There’s also a scene at the end of the movie that I wish had more time to breathe due to the nature of what happens. It seems like the plot is a little too slow-paced in the first half before Naima starts to find her footing in Dhaka.</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">“Rickshaw Girl” tells a coming-of-age story that is easy to get engrossed in and offers a unique perspective given its setting. The writing isn’t amazing, but the directing picks up the slack and makes for a very interesting watch. </span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif"><strong>Author Bio:</strong></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif"><strong><em>Ulises Duenas is a senior writer at</em> Highbrow Magazine.</strong></span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif"><strong>For Highbrow Magazine</strong></span></span></p> <p> </p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/rickshaw-girl" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Rickshaw Girl</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/new-films" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">new films</a></div><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/movies" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Movies</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/foreign-films" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">foreign films</a></div><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/bangladesh" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Bangladesh</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/dhaka" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">dhaka</a></div><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/pulling-rickshaws" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">pulling rickshaws</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/bangladeshi-films" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">bangladeshi films</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-author field-type-text field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Ulises Duenas</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-pop field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Popular:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">not popular</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-bot field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Bottom Slider:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">In Slider</div></div></div> Wed, 28 Dec 2022 22:39:48 +0000 tara 11562 at https://www.highbrowmagazine.com https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/23067-rickshaw-girl-tells-interesting-coming-age-story-bangladeshi-youth#comments Did Bob Dylan Deserve the Nobel?

But there was universal acknowledgment that the Academy had broken new ground by awarding the Nobel “for the first time” to a singer-songwriter since the French poet and essayist Sully Prudhomme first won it in 1901.</p> <p> </p> <p>Mainstream media announced the news with its usual insouciant hyperbole. “It is the first time the honor has gone to a musician,” declared the <em>New York Times</em>. <em>The Los Angeles Times</em> wrote: “Dylan became the first musician to be awarded the Nobel Prize in literature.” According to the <em>Washington Post</em>, “Dylan … is a groundbreaking choice by the Nobel committee to select the first literature laureate whose career has primarily been as a musician.”</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>That Bob Dylan is being lauded as the first musician to win the Nobel Prize for Literature would have amused Rabindranath Tagore, the Bengali polymath who won the Nobel Prize for Literature over a century ago in 1913.</p> <p> </p> <p>Tagore’s literary output fills 26 volumes but to the 200 million Bengali-speaking people in Bangladesh and India’s West Bengal, as well as to the diaspora, his timeless appeal stems more from his 2000-plus songs, of which he was both the lyricist and the composer, than from his poems, short stories, novels, dramas and essays. At the time of his award, his songs numbered about a thousand.</p> <p> </p> <p>So what explains this ignorance or indifference?</p> <p> </p> <p>The main reason, of course, was that Tagore wrote in Bengali, not as popular or powerful as English, the lingua franca of discourse across cultures and national boundaries. But as the late great Bengali sitarist Ravi Shankar wrote, “Had Rabindranath Tagore been born in the West he would now be as revered as Shakespeare and Goethe.”</p> <p> </p> <p>To which we may add, “And Dylan.”</p> <p> </p> <p>But there is probably another reason that also contributed to Western media’s cluelessness about Tagore: Cultural (some may call it civilizational) snobbery.</p> <p> </p> <p>It is the assumption that any new idea in science, art, technology, medicine, literature and yes, music, begins in the West and flows down to the East. The East may have a monopoly on the ‘exotic’, (after all, the Beatles did visit India for inspiration, didn’t they?) but when it comes to what truly matters, there’s no contest: West wins hands down.</p> <p> </p> <p>How many Americans, for instance, can name one or two leading writers, poets, playwright or musicians from, say, the subcontinent?I once asked my students here in San Jose, California, and was rewarded with blank faces and a few snickers.</p> <p> </p> <p>Yet ask any adult Bangladeshi or Indian or Pakistani about leading American writers (past or present) or singers and they will rattle off names like Twain, Hemingway, Steinbeck, Dylan, Beyonce and Taylor Swift.</p> <p> </p> <p>There is no justification for this cultural imperialism, (dare I call it hubris?) particularly when information about any culture or society is only a click away. The only requirement is curiosity and respect for the ‘other.’</p> <p> </p> <p>Tagore was awarded the Nobel Prize, according to the Academy, "because of his profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse, by which, with consummate skill, he has made his poetic thought, expressed in his own English words, a part of the literature of the West."</p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="" src="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/2bobdylanandjoanbaez.jpg" style="height:475px; width:671px" typeof="foaf:Image" /></p> <p> </p> <p>What the Academy was referring to was the collection of Tagore’s poems knows as “Gitanjali” or “Song-Offerings.” It was published in English translation in London in March of 1913, and by the time the award was announced that year, had been reprinted 10 times. The reference to “a part of the literature of the West” turned out to be wishful thinking at best.</p> <p> </p> <p>The Bengali-speaking Amartya Sen, winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize in Economics and a passionate Tagore fan, has tried in recent years to revive interest in Tagore in the West but found himself preaching mostly to the choir. “For many years,” he wrote, “Tagore was the rage in many European countries. His public appearances were always packed with people wanting to hear him. But then the Tagore tide ebbed, and by the 1930s the huge excitement was all over.”</p> <p> </p> <p>And that’s where Tagore remains, forgotten in the West except to a few connoisseurs.</p> <p> </p> <p>That’s a pity, for with a little bit of patience and an open mind, Americans can also acquire a taste for Tagore, particularly for his songs. Just type “Tagore Songs” or “Rabindra Sangeet” (music of Rabindranath) on YouTube and you will get thousands of hits of songs sung by leading exponents of this distinctive genre (including some by Tagore himself) that continue to captivate Bengali-speaking people around the world 75 years after his death.</p> <p> </p> <p>Bob Dylan richly deserved his prize. I confess to a soft spot for this poet/singer because he sang several of his classics in the “Concert for Bangladesh,” (“Blowin' in the Wind,” “A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall,” “It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry,” “Love Minus Zero/No Limit,” “Just Like a Woman” and “Mr. Tambourine Man”), organized by George Harrison and Ravi Shankar at the Madison Square Garden in New York on August 1, 1971, during the height of Bangladesh’s War of Independence.</p> <p> </p> <p>It is not farfetched to hope that Dylan’s award will spur interest in the first singer-songwriter who won the Nobel Prize for Literature 103 years before the American genius did. The government of Bangladesh can also help by instituting a Tagore Award, to be given out every four years to anyone making a breakthrough in Interdisciplinary Research, be it in the Sciences or in the Arts, in honor of one of the most prolific and protean geniuses the world has ever seen.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Author Bio:</strong></p> <p><strong><em>Hasan Zillur Rahim teaches mathematics at San Jose City College and is a freelance writer.

Pictures of charred bodies and crying parents have stirred largely unheeded calls for intervention, mostly from Muslim nations.</p> <p>  </p> <p> “The attacks have been primarily one-sided, with Muslims generally and Rohingyas specifically the targets and victims,” Benjamin Zawacki, a Bangkok-based researcher for Amnesty International, told The Associated Press. “Some of this is by the security forces’ own hands, some by Rakhine Buddhists with the security forces turning a blind eye in some cases.”</p> <p>  </p> <p> The government in Myanmar, recently lauded for taking steps toward democratization, declared a state of emergency in June following the outbreak of violence allegedly sparked by the rape and killing of a Buddhist woman by members of the Rohingya minority -- a largely Muslim group on the country’s western border with Bangladesh. The official death toll stands at 78, though activists say it is likely much higher and prompted the UN to call for independent investigation over human rights violations.</p> <p>  </p> <p> The Rohingya, meanwhile, remain caught between a hostile populace and a neighboring Muslim nation in Bangladesh that refuses to open its borders to fleeing refugees.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Such is the irony in a country famous for its Valley of the Temples and its unrivaled devotion to the Buddha. Alas, while Buddhism through a Western lens can appear rosy for its message of compassion, inner peace, and self-cultivation, in Asian societies Buddhism as an institution has much broader political applications.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Five years ago, thousands of monks across Myanmar led in mass demonstrations against the military junta that paralyzed the former capital Yangon and other cities. The catalyst was an economic crisis, coupled with a devastating typhoon that destroyed homes and rice fields. The government’s failure to respond drove the monks to revolt, leading to the arrest and beating of hundreds of clergy. In such an overwhelmingly Buddhist country as Myanmar, the crackdown posed serious risks for the leadership.</p> <p>  </p> <p> For the monks, on the other hand, if fighting on behalf of the people seemed a moral necessity, such “spiritual engagement” apparently does not extend to the country’s Muslims -- estimated at around 800,000. They are a population denied citizenship and, by extension, the beneficence of the Buddha.</p> <p>  </p> <p> In 2001, monks handed out anti-Muslim pamphlets that resulted in the burning of Muslim homes, destruction of 11 mosques and the killing of over 200 Muslims in the Pegu region. Four years earlier, another anti-Muslim riot broke out in Mandalay during the worship of a Buddha statue at the Maha Myatmuni pagoda. In that incident, an estimated 1,500 Buddhist monks led the attack on nearby mosques and Muslim-owned businesses, looting as they went.</p> <p>  </p> <p> As for the current crisis, Human Rights Watch is strongly urging the Burmese government to end arbitrary and incommunicado detention, and “redeploy and hold accountable security forces implicated in serious abuses. Burmese authorities should ensure safe access to the area by the United Nations (UN), independent humanitarian organizations, and the media.”</p> <p>  </p> <p> “The Burmese government needs to put an immediate end to the abusive sweeps by the security forces against Rohingya communities,” noted Elaine Pearson, deputy Asia director at Human Rights Watch. “Anyone being held should be promptly charged or released, and their relatives given access.”</p> <p>  </p> <p> So far the killings have garnered little attention in the West, where they have registered little more than a blip in the news cycle. Equally as troubling, however, has been the muted response of Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi – an icon of human rights across Southeast Asia. Her recent tepid call for ethnic equality in Myanmar, nearly two months after the violence erupted, was met with uniform criticism around the world.</p> <p>  </p> <p> In the 1960s the renowned Vietnamese monk Thich Nhat Hanh coined the term “Engaged Buddhism.” The intent, then as now, was to exhort fellow monks to emerge from their temples and engage with a society then in the grips of war.</p> <p>  </p> <p> The practice continues across much of South and Southeast Asia today. One example is the long drawn out war in Sri Lanka, during which militant monks formed their own political party, held seats in parliament and advocated military solutions to the conflict with the Tamil Tigers.</p> <p>  </p> <p> In Vietnam, the ruling class knows each time a Buddhist monk sets himself ablaze they'd better watch out. That was certainly true in 1963 when a Buddhist monk named Thich Quang Duc immolated himself in downtown Saigon to protest a crackdown on Buddhism. Unrest grew as civilian fear turned into anger, and the Catholic controlled regime of Ngo Dinh Diem fell soon afterward. The current communist regime still keeps a number of leading clergymen under house arrest for fear for a popular revolt.</p> <p>  </p> <p> But if Myanmar’s monks held the moral high ground five years ago when they protested against government oppression, that standing has quickly turned into a deep and dark sinkhole of depravity amid calls for the majority to oppress their neighbors.</p> <p>  </p> <p> “Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech and a life of service and compassion renew humanity,” the historical Buddha, Gautama Siddharta, once said.</p> <p>  </p> <p> One wonders what he would say now, as innocent blood is shed in his name, and the path toward enlightenment that he taught to relieve the suffering of all beings had somehow derailed into a dark road of rebirth in the lowest levels of hell?</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Author Bio:</strong></p> <p> NAM editor Andrew Lam is author of <em>East Eats West: Writing in Two Hemispheres and Perfume Dreams: Reflections on the Vietnamese Diaspora. </em>His next book, <em>Birds of Paradise Lost</em>, will be published next year. </p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/myanmar" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Myanmar</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/burma" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Burma</a></div><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/buddhits-monks" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Buddhits monks</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/muslims" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Muslims</a></div><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/violence-religious-minority" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">violence religious minority</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/bangladesh" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Bangladesh</a></div><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/yangon" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Yangon</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/human-rights-watch" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Human Rights Watch</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-author field-type-text field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Andrew Lam</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-pop field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Popular:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">not popular</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-photographer field-type-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Photographer:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Aye Aye Win - AP</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-bot field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Bottom Slider:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Out Slider</div></div></div> Wed, 01 Aug 2012 21:14:03 +0000 tara 1330 at https://www.highbrowmagazine.com https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/1437-buddhists-myanmar-target-religious-minority-violent-attacks#comments
