Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee corrects historical wrong, renames theatre after 19th century actor

Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee announced the renaming of Kolkata's Star Theatre to Binodini Theatre to honor actress Binodini Dasi, who was marginalized due to her origins. The current Star Theatre, built in 1887, will reflect this change. This move addresses a historical injustice and celebrates Binodini's significant contributions to Bengali theatre.
