Using excessive force for a small problem.
زمینه فرهنگی
In both regions, mosquitoes are a daily nuisance. The proverb resonates deeply because everyone knows the frustration of a mosquito, but also the absurdity of using something as grand as a cannon in a domestic setting. The phrase is frequently used in newspapers to criticize 'Red Tapism' or when the government creates a massive committee for a tiny problem. The mention of 'Kaman' (Cannon) reflects the Mughal influence on Bengali language and military history, where cannons were the ultimate status symbol of power.
