Bangla Classics & Beyond

[close] This is what keeps the space safe and welcoming.

1️⃣ No Gatekeeping

No “you should have read this already”

No ranking readers by knowledge

No shaming for not knowing context, authors, or history

2️⃣ No Academic Policing

This is not a classroom

You don’t need to cite theory or critics

First impressions are as valid as informed ones

3️⃣ Be Kind to Beginners

If someone is reading a classic for the first time, encourage them

Explain gently, or don’t explain at all

4️⃣ Respect Differences

Political, cultural, and personal interpretations may differ

Disagree with ideas, not people

5️⃣ Spoilers = Warn First

Please add a spoiler warning if discussing key plot points

6️⃣ Language Is Flexible

Bangla, English, or a mix is welcome

Express yourself comfortably
