    Sultana's Dreams

    Source: Kazi Tahsin Agaz Apurbo

    A popular name in the world of academia, or at least in Dhaka, Razia Sultana Khan, is a professor of English and also a published writer. Born in the old part of Dhaka in the 1950s, Sultana had had the opportunity to explore many parts of Bangladesh and also the world. "My father was a carrier diplomat. My mother was a home maker and being the wife of a diplomat she was kept pretty busy not just looking after us but with her social duties," she says.

    Head of the Department of English at Independent University, Bangladesh from 2008 to 2011, Sultana was also known for organising conferences: one on Mark Twain and another on Tennessee Williams. "I also initiated a monthly Teacher Development Workshop series, and the IUB Book Club which is open not just to IUB students and teachers but also to outsiders," she says. In addition to seminars and workshops, Sultana also started a literary journal, CHAOS, of which she is the Editor.

    The Childhood Marriage

    Of the first stream of stories which show daughters married at childhood age, and thereby start a painful journey into life, the first one is "Ghater Katha." The heroine of this story, Kushum, was married a child. But her husband died abroad. Kushum returned to her father's house. In the meantime a hermit set up his camp in their area. Kushum came to him every day for worshipping. She gradually felt attracted towards him. When she confessed it to the hermit he sternly said, "You have to forget me."'iii The hermit then left the place, and Kushum drowned herself in the river Ganges, near the steps. This story, written in the unique form of the steps recounting the story, points out that because Kushum was a woman, therefore, society did not care for her needs. And the story also recognizes the fact that though Kushum became a widow, her passion for love did not die down with her becoming a widow.
