Roshni and Matt start off talking about Philadelphia, and why it is one of the most underrated cities in the U.S. Roshni then opens up about the experience of her Bengali Muslim family during the 1947 partition of India. She then shares stories about her family’s experience during the Bangladesh Liberation War and the Bangladesh Genocide of 1971. Roshni emphasizes how, despite a litany of horrors—from civilian massacres to rape camps—there were also shining examples of humanity at every turn, including cross-community love and assistance by individuals willing to help their neighbors escape death and violence. Roshni draws out profound moral lessons which inform her political activism and worldview today. She encourages people to always “look for the helpers” to find the humanity in any situation. And, finally, Roshni talks about her grandfather’s progressive commitment to the education of women and girls, his work on building schools in Bangladesh, and the legacy of that work today.
