Pornography
A.S.M Ahsanur Rahman Shahjalal University
Day 1: In the middle of a summer vacation I went to Nilkhet book market in order to buy some books required for my study of economics. The market is a legendary place as many rare books, their photocopy etc are available there. So it used to be the best place for students like us. But a peddler on the footpath just drew my attention and asked me whether I needed the "real things". I did not yet understand what he meant by that but replied yes. Then he at first showed me some CDs with pornographic covers. He also asked me whether I liked "foreign" or "deshi". I somehow managed to come out from that place. But I am afraid I am not the only one with such an experience. Most of their customers are teenagers who are not adult enough to have control over themselves. Day 2: At the hall of my own university I was at the canteen and found some of my friends talking about the local pornography. They said most of the times the victim is the girl who is actually innocent. Somehow the videos are shot without informing her when she is busy with her private business or she is raped. We also read at the newspaper how the girls are deceived. But we should have sympathy for the victims who are virtually ostracised following such incidents. They are betrayed by their most beloved ones and they even decide to commit suicide. But who is responsible for this? I think both the makers and viewers of these films are doing a great disservice to society. If this sleazy business is not stopped, we will have to pay a high price in the form of moral degeneration.
