Shuddhashar FreeVoice’s Issue 40 takes blood as the starting point to explore various issues related to identity and power – the power in blood and of blood to be a symbol of something else. It examines the multiple ways blood – as a substance and symbol – defines us and our abilities to act freely in the world. It explores how blood is ascribed characteristics that identify us and the socio-cultural and personal impacts of these identifications. How and when does blood stigmatize?
Join Yasmin Saikia, Afrah Nasser and Nadeem Zaman in a discussion on blood, identity, and belonging.

Rahad Abir urges that the youth who wrest Bangladesh free from the shackles of authoritarianism should be allowed to lead the project of building a new Bangladesh.

Mikail Khan issues a clarion call to the dominant-caste South Asian diaspora to put themselves on the line for liberation movements happening in real-time in South Asia.


Resistance efforts often do not extend beyond certain boundaries. Because it’s more convenient to form solidarities selectively and to position oneself on the right side of history when it is so far away from home.

Nadeem Zaman shows how two echelons of Bangladeshi society — the obscenely wealthy elite and the intellectual vanguard — have been silent partners and absolvers of Bangladesh’s authoritarian regimes.


Instead of holding the authoritarian regime accountable, two echelons of Bangladeshi society — the obscenely wealthy elite and the intellectual vanguard — have been its silent partners and absolvers.

Embracing pluralism and shared humanity is the only way to counteract Hindutva's destruction of India. Read Yasmin Saikia's essay in our latest issue.

Blood purity and Indian identity are constructs of Hindutva ideology to establish a uniform Hindu nation, impacting laws related to citizenship, social dynamics, and religious liberties. Embracing pluralism and shared humanity is the only way to counteract the destruction of India.

Racialized lynching in the U.S., has a longer history than many people might realize today, and was far more common in the free states. Read Dr. Holly A. Pinheiro Jr.'s essay to learn more.


Racialized lynching in the U.S., has a longer history than many people might realize today. Anti-Black lynchings occurred during the antebellum era in free states such as New York where pro-slavery New Yorkers committed murder in the streets. “Southern trees bear a strange fruit, blood on the leav...

Ramon Lee explores why, despite blood being rooted in the relatedness of one person to the next, one drop of non-White blood automatically identifies you with a lesser race.


Blood involves desires to control and dictate responsibility, rooted in the relatedness of one person to the next. But why does one drop of non-White blood automatically identify you with a lesser race?

Afrah Nasser argues that ending honor killings calls for tailored approaches that respect local contexts while aiming for universal human rights standards.


Deeply rooted in cultural traditions and misinterpretations of religious teachings, honor killings show the struggle between maintaining societal norms and protecting human rights. Ending such practice calls for tailored approaches that respect local contexts while aiming for universal human rights....

Inextricably linked to horror cinema, the first traces of blood appeared on screen only in the 1960s. Check out Fernando Gabriel's essay on blood's role in films.

It was only in the 1960s that American horror cinema was mature enough to show the first traces of blood on screen, demonstrating how realism in cinema is constructed rather than a given.

To inspire, not to impress মন জোগাতে নয়, মন জাগাতে

Shuddhashar started its journey as a Little Magazine in December 1990, publishing writings by contemporary and anti-establishment writers. Between 2004, when Shuddhashar began book publishing, until 2015, more than one thousand novels, stories, poems, and essays were published as hard copy books. After the attack on Shuddhashar's publisher and office on October 31, 2015, all of Shuddhashar’s activities in Bangladesh were halted. Now, Shuddhashar is functioning as an alternative online platform to organize people's thoughts and opinions about freedom of expression, freedom of press, human rights, democratic values, and good governance. Poets, writers, artists, rights activists, freethinkers, exiled writers, and at-risk writers are presenting their ideas, observations, and opinions on this platform.

To inspire, not to impress.

১৯৯০ সালের ডিসেম্বর মাসে একটি লিটল ম্যাগাজিন হিসাবে শুদ্ধস্বরের যাত্রা শুরু হয় । সমসাময়িক ও প্রতিষ্টান বিরোধি লেখকদের চিন্তা ও লেখা প্রকাশিত হতো এতে। ২০০৪ সালে এর সহযোগি প্রতিষ্টান হিসাবে শুদ্ধস্বর নামেই বই প্রকাশনা কার্যক্রম শুরু হয়। ২০১৫ পর্যন্ত প্রায় এক হাজারের বেশি উপন্যাস-গল্প-কবিতা-প্রবন্ধসহ নানান ধরনের হার্ড ভার্সন বই প্রকাশিত হয়েছে শুদ্ধস্বর থেকে। ২০১৫ সালের ৩১ অক্টোবর প্রকাশককে হত্যা করার উদ্দেশ্যে শুদ্ধস্বর এর কার্যালয়ে আক্রমন করার পর থেকে বাংলাদেশে শুদ্ধস্বরের সবধরনের কার্যক্রম বন্ধ হয়ে যায়। বর্তমানে বিকল্প মাধ্যম অনলাইনে শুদ্ধস্বর মুক্তচিন্তা ও কথা বলার স্বাধীনতা, সংবাদ প্রকাশের স্বাধীনতা, মানবাধিকার, গণতান্ত্রিক সুশাসন বিষয়ে মানুষের চিন্তা ও মতামত সংগঠিত করার জন্য প্ল্যাটফর্ম হিসাবে কাজ শুরু করেছে। কবি-লেখক-শিল্পী-অধিকার কর্মী-মুক্ত চিন্তক-নির্বাসিত লেখক এবং বিপদগ্রস্থ লেখকরা এই প্ল্যাটফর্মে তাদের চিন্তা-ধারনা-পর্যবেক্ষণ ও মতামত তুলে ধরছেন।
