Bonbibi is moved by ‘Swapnobhoomi’, a film on the plight of Biharis in Bangladesh:

These people are usually derogatively called ‘Biharis’ even though they also come from the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh, of West Bengal, of Madhya Pradesh and distant Hyderabad. They came from various places and they came for various reasons. Some came to East Pakistan to flee the communal riots which had broken out in Bihar in 1946-47, some, armed with a firm belief in Muslim brotherhood, came to build the state of Pakistan, some came to seek a better life after hearing of job opportunities, some came dragged by parents and grandparents, too young to know or want otherwise.
