As a bangladeshi(native), I say you should change the name

The word "Choda" is used strictly for slangs in rural areas, and educated people here wouldn't even try to utter it. I can see great passion for the project, reason why i am here, but every time i read the name it reminds me of the term "sister-fucker(bahenchod)", I think its just a little, weird to name something like this as it makes the gay community look a like a bunch of rapists.

I understand your concern, however I want you to understand that the title is an ironic one. A lot of the guys have insecurities about their sexualities and so "Barachoda" would refer to the type of person they're afraid to be but aren't. Eventually they'd stop worrying about if they're called a "Barachoda" or not. Also most people don't understand Bengali, so they wouldn't understand the meaning of the word. That's why I'll keep using this title for the unseen future.

so you are trying to say the novel is trying to portray/encourage rape.

Oh sorry, I didn't see this comment until now, my mistake.


I should clarify that "Barachoda" stands for "Cock fucker" or "Cocksucker". It could also stand for "Big fucker". The intent of the title is to indicate someone who strongly desires gay sex. It's not meant to indicate anything relating to rape. And most of the main characters aren't sluts but the protagonist wouldn't mind if they were.

The word Chod relates to rapists? That's news to me. 

Can't say I'm vey connected with my heritage but my family and 14 extended swears so much, it would be weird if they threw around the word rape like that. Imagine someone saying "তুইতো সবারই চডোছ" (you rape everyone) instead of (you fuck everyone); to imply someone is a whore/slut. 

বড় means husband, বড়চড would mean Man-fucker in this context, add  া to make it an action,  বড়চডা = gay sex.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, the bengali community where I live now almost never swear, like you said, educated people don't say it.
