Revenge

Explains that the original Bangla title, Shodh, balances between "revenge" and "getting even," framing the narrative as a feminist fable that challenges assumptions about what is "natural" in society. The story follows the protagonist, Jhumur, a university-educated woman who finds herself constrained by the suffocating expectations and patriarchal traditions of her husband Haroon's family, including performing domestic duties despite her degrees and enduring his jealousy. A central conflict revolves around Haroon's forced abortion of their first child due to his suspicion of her fidelity, which leads Jhumur to seek emotional refuge in an affair and eventually pursue her own form of "revenge" and independence by securing a job.
