Secondly, I really appreciate the perspective Ms. Sultana demonstrates to unearth the politics entailed in the construction of character, plot, and rhetoric of those two movies, Parineeta and Devdas, which she significantly relates to an yet-to-be-fully-discovered norm of violence against women. Undiscovered because, we have accustomed ourselves to encountering violence in movies where it is attributed with a bodily form, materialized by severe injury, death, destruction and caused by physical force or the like. Rebecca Sultana, on the other hand, regards the overall chauvinistic design of all narrative elements as more violent in the sense that the sustained ideology of this design is the frame from where violent motifs are derived. It also seems worth mentioning the way she dramatically confronts her own reception of Parineeta which she thinks is contaminated as a result of having been inculcated on so many occasions.

Additionally, while I agree completely with her methods and its contents, I feel the opposite is true regarding "Dr. Yunus's Nobel prize was especially welcome considering Grameen's reputation of working with disenfranchised women." Such an uncritical remark invalidates her analytical as well as political stance as it unwittingly once again adheres to another sort of representation, this time journalistic, missing all the politics that this mode might be involved with.
