Getting nothing in return for effort.
文化的背景
In Kolkata, this phrase is often used with a specific hand gesture—showing the thumb—which is also known as 'Kanchkola dekhano'. It's a sign of playful defiance. In Bangladeshi academic culture, 'Oshtorombha' is frequently used in student politics and campus life to mock the empty promises of student leaders. Satirical writers like Sukumar Ray and Shibram Chakraborty often used such idioms to highlight the absurdity of the middle-class struggle. Parents often use this sarcastically when a child asks for an expensive toy after performing poorly in school.
