Jhal Talk Jhal NYC

Bridging the inaccessibility of Bangladeshi history, we discuss how the Bangladesh we know came to be. We start with the Mughal Empire, discuss the fight for independence, and explain modern day influences in Bangladeshi politics and culture. If you ever wanted to know the origins of the Awami League, here's your chance. Tune in to learn about the only nation to fight for its own language. 

We want to highlight the importance of representation and point out the positives of South Asian people in the media without idolizing the individuals we discuss. We will acknowledge that they are prone to making mistakes and that their achievements and contributions do not diminish the wrongness of what they did, but it is still important to discuss these individuals in order to grow and improve the representation that we see.
