So today my podcast guest is the young man who escaped the Talibans. Tune in to listen to his bone-chilling experience about how he escaped from the Talibans when they occupied Afghanistan. I played a a small part in his escape. I created a GoFundme funding, where we collected over $10000 to help him escape. I want to extend my thanks to all those who have contributed and want to let you know that he is now living in a completely new country with his little brother and uncle and is able to survive because of that contribution.

This is the 3rd and final leg of the Dhananjoy Chatterjee hanging case, which started with my solo podcast about how I was asked to attend the hanging. Please check that out among the episodes. In this podcast, my guest is Moumita De Das, the Assistant Professor, School of media and communications, at Adamas University. Why is she here? Today we are going into that depths of hell once more to reiterate exactly what happened during the execution of Dhananjoy Chatterjee, whose hanging is increasingly becoming a controversial discussion. And with every passing year, with the film Dhananjoy made in 2017, we might be looking at a very murky case, haphazardly concluded and the convict hanged, the justification of his death penalty is clearly becoming debatable.

Moumita was in the newspaper as a journalist at that time and was covering Hetal Parekh’s school reactions. She is presently teaching the importance of media laws in democracy, under which the Dhananjoy case is now a subject matter under the headline: A negative impact of media.

Please go on my blog to check out the pictures of that day's coverage, which Moumita now teaches her students at the university as a professor: https://kaberi.ca/2021/12/11/how-did-hetal-parekhs-friends-feel-about-dhanajoy-meet-moumita-who-talked-with-them/
