Bangladesh should be bombed instead. She fled her own country and came to Germany.

it shows the barbarism of Bangladesh.

Just see how shamelessly these Bangladeshis are talking about their own people living India as refugees. They should call those thousands of poor refugees back to Bangladesh from India. Let Taslima Nasreen decide in which country she wants to live.

She is champion of womanhood in Bangladesh. We support and praise her courage and will be with her in the fight against women exploitation in country.

Milind

She won’t go back because she knows that Muslims kill anyone who says against Islam. She is living in India because India is the greatest secular country in the world.

Taslima has also hurt the sentiments of Indian Muslims. The government must deport her from India soon.

Hiten

Hiten — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000

In Bangladesh, people have not so lucky to have parties like Congress and communist so Taslima can’t go back to her own country.

People even in Bangladesh do know that Hussain has painted Hindu Goddesses in nude and they can see the painting in search engines. Could you get what Taslima has written in her novels, said to be written against Islam. She has written how Muslims harassed and killed a Hindu family in Bangladesh and Muslims are feeling bad because Taslima depicted true picture.

Habib

Habib — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000

She is a bad writer and Her novels are written poorly. It is good that many of her books have not been translated because Hindus won’t feel good when they find out her writings against Hinduism as well.

Sukhbahar

Sukhbahar — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000

Don’t Blame COmmunists all the time. CPM government has also banned ‘Dikhandita’ Taslima’s memoir.

Halim

Halim — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000

Fahim, first you do correct your country’s judicial system and work hard for the welfare of women in country then ask her to come back. She will certainly go I guess.

Haris

Haris — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000

She should leave India and go to France. Asian region is not good for the ‘talented’ writer.

Gibson

Ihe Indian government shouldn’t deport Taslima because it will diminish all Indians. Government should also ask MF Husain to live peacefully in India.

Bin

Nasrin is the single journalist in the list of journos, writers, scholars and artists who have been persecuted, banned, jailed, forced to leave her own country for so long.

Azim

Azim — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000

She is anti-Islam and taking shelter in Hindu country. No need to come Bangladesh again. We don’t need you.

Swati S

Swati S — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000

She is prolific writer and should be allowed to live wherever she wants...

She is doing nothing wrong in expressing her opinions against the exploitation of women and other issues...we support her and her cause...

It is disgraceful to that an author has to run helter and skelter from one place to another, one country to another chased by fanatical hounds. A country where there is no freedom of speech, where a dissenting voice is gagged goes on a long way to show the kind of society it is.

Ms. Nasreen’s basic human rights is being violated here. Bangladesh government and Bengalis should not forget that Bangladesh is a signatory of the United Nations Human Rights Charter.

Steven

Steven — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000

punishment for what? punishment for exercising her basic human rights? i can’t believe i am reading this piece of shit on saturday evening. fahim is doing more harm than good to his cause by his ridiculous arguments.

Marcos

Dear Readers,

It is just not the opinion of Taslima Nasreen that the Koran should be thoroughly revised. This is the demand of an overwhelming majority of the world population. 1.7 billion Muslims are quoting the Koran out of context to validate the numerous fatwas, terrorism in the name of jihad, abuse of females and all sorts of violence. The call of the time now is to seriously consider editing of some portions of the Koran and purge and expunge a few verses and pages so that the next generation of Muslims do not find any excuse to carry out atrocities within and outside themselves.

This change of heart should come from within the general and intellectual followers of Islam because so far the moderate religious heads have been handed over defeats by the radical and hate preachers.

Thank you.

muslims from kosovo to kashmir, sudan to somalia, chechnya to chad, afghanistan to algeria, iraq to indonesia, palestine to pakistan and all over the world are the root cause of sectarian and religious violence.

now they are targeting a peace loving country european like denmark. we don’t need to prove that followers of islam are the most intolerant human beings on this planet.

muhammad, if at all he had good intentions spreading the faith and dictating the koran to his disciples who wrote the verses for the benefit of mankind must be twisting and turning in his grave seeing the state of muslim mentality today.

THE PERSECUTION OF TASLEEMA NASREEN IS HIDEOUS. IT MUST BE CONDEMNED BY ONE AND ALL. BANGLADESHIS ARE LOOKING MORE LIKE TALIBAN BUCCANEERS THESE DAYS.

If Taslima Nasrin had sinned against god by her remarks about Allah’s Quran, let Allah punish her then. Did he give you the right to carry out your so called justice on his behalf? If so where is the authorization letter? I want to verify Allah’s signature. My advice to you Bangladeshis is please do not behave like idiots. By writing such absurd pieces you are making yourselves look like uneducated idiots in front of the world community.

Lalit

The commies in USSR and China banned religion. Indian commies who call them Marxists are licking the bums of the Muslims and hounding the poor woman. They can show their strength to women like Mamata Banerjee and Taslima Nasrin. I can understand Priya Ranjan Dasmunsi to pressurize Taslima to take out a few things from her books. He is a Congress leader known for its minority appeasement and bum-licking policies.

Remember the Shah Bano case that unmasked Rajiv Gandhi’s communal (pro-Muslim) face? The Congress and the commies are the worst communal parties in India.

all those who are supporting taslima here and bashing muslims must remember that no one has the right to hurt religious sentiments of any community - muslim, hindu, christian, jew etc etc. if you don’t want to follow or find anything bad, just turn your head and leave. but criticizing the manner nasrin has done knowing fully well that it will turn out to be major controversy is grossly criminal. she knew that she can escape to europe and india. she is actually making india’s life harder. we have a large muslim population here that is gradually losing its sanity and turning radicals. presence of such authors will only accelerate the process and the muslims will start believing that the country is insensitive.

SHE DESERVES A THROUGH BEATING. I KNOW ISLAM DOES NOT ALLOW VIOLENCE AGAINST WEAK AND RESPECT WOMEN. BUT SHE IS A WOMAN WITHOUT ANY DIGNITY AND HONOR.

Minhaz

Minhaz — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000

she must be getting a lot of creative and intellectual lovers in kolkata to keep her warmed up. so she wants to return there and doesn’t want to stay in any other city. one day she will be shot dead.

Kate

Kate — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000

Salman Rushdie, Taslima Nasrin, Jyllands-Posten cartoonists... The list goes on and on and on... One day there will be a certain killing of a champion of free speech and then the Muslims will blacken their own faces...

Betty

Betty — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000

this is barbaric! i can’t believe that muslims will become like this one day. tehy are godless people. only satan preaches violence. please read satanic verses by salman rushdie.

Pippo

MY gf is muslim. she has no probs having sex or watching porn with me. I’m a Catholic. Muslims are gud ppl.

Minhaz

Minhaz — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000

THe situation that Taslima is facing had to happen one day. She must say sorry to Bangladeshis. Then we can forgive him and she can return from Calcutta.

Prabhunarayan

Prabhunarayan — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000

She is not half as good a writer as Salman Rushdie. Her language is pedestrian and lacks depth. Lajja was a mere attempt to get attention. Before the book, did anyone know about her?

Matt

Matt — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000

This is completely unacceptable for teh world to let Bangladesh citizens and government behave the way it is doing. India must protect the author at any cost and give her complete freedom to pursue her writing career.

@Haris:

Why are you saying two different things? I think you commented from a cyber cafe or office and forgot to log out and someone else commented. This way you lose your voice and creates confusion. Please log out of this site if you are using a public or shared computer.

Lutful

Lutful — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000

Let her come, then we will decide what to do.

Salma

Salma — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000

She is ideal of average Muslim women in Bangladesh and those people abusing her are responsible for exploitation of women in Bangladesh.

Syeda

Syeda — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000

Minhaz- it is not the question of religion. You can blame us but we support Taslima and we won’t leave our country.

Souransu

Souransu — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000

Haris is saying like this because he must be seeing a gun targeted on his head. He can’t write what he feels, after all he is living in Pakistan.

Reshmi

Reshmi — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000

It is really shocking to see how fundamentalists are taking the shelter of Islam more and more to show their hatred against a woman !! It a matter of shame that a writer has no freedom to voice her opinions in her motherland; and inspite of that people of Bangladesh are openly accusing the Indian government! Kudos to the writers and media personas of Kolkata who have lent support to her. Atleast in India we have the freedom of speech and expression!

Maline

WHAT MORE CAN BE ACCEPTED FROM ISLAMIC CHAUVINISTS?

Shweta

Shweta — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000

Everyone who writes against Islam will have to face the similar fate as Taslima is facing right now. Just see how her own countrymen asking her to return to accept punishment just in the name of religion. There is no place of tolerance in Islam.

Janet

She deserves the best in Bangladesh but would get worse if arrives in her own motherland.

@Prabhunarayan

Every writer has one book which makes him or her famous. So did Lajja for Taslima. And if anyone doesn’t have any right to abuse a religion, that anyone doesn’t have any right to spread malice and torture someone just because that someone did not agree with his views on his religion. Taslima is a good writer and deserves appraisal for her fearlessness.

Dear friends,

Let me printout one thing very clearly. The core values/ tenets of any religion in general and Islam in particular are beyond the human criticism. Yes, we can talk about the followers of the respective religions, how the follow their rituals.

People like Salman Rushdie, Taslima Nasrin have just shared their opinions not given the final words. We should not forget that we are living in “democratic society” where every person has right to opine his / her viewpoint without hurting the sentiment of others.

We must not give so much importance to such issues and restrain our emotions. So far as, Taslima Nasreen is concerned, she is very much in title to live anywhere she likes and we mush respect her fundamental rights.

You are alleging Certain people of double standards(well they are!), but at the same time aren’t you doing the same thing ?

You abuse Taslima for (alleged) anti Islamic activities while you call MF Hussain the ”living Picasso” for his (alleged) anti Hindu activities.

The fact is that you have never realized what democracy is! If someone has to apologize for voicing her opinion and having the guts to speak against atrocities, I don’t really know where the society is heading to.

And if you have any idea how economy of a country works, you will realize how sever influx from Bangladesh is hurting the Indian economy especially that of the north eastern states. Still India has been tolerant enough not to take any stern actions so far.

Personally I have not had the privilege

nor wish to be privileged by reading any of Taslima’s books. Whatever the reason be, but she is a bad, bad... writer, and true literary connoisseurs know that. This lady exploits the sacred art of literature and uses blasphemous tantalisations to further her cause in attaing the ultimate in consumerism. This lady has no cause to voice, no grievance to address to. She is just interested in pedestrian popularity and the green crisp notes of controversial utilitarianism. If she is so concerned about the state of women in her country, then the solution LIES in ISLAM,which ofcourse she is ignorant of, for she has always been more interested in defaming the religion of her birth rather than following it with sincere piety. ALL MY SYMPATHY TO HER...COUNTRY MEN WHOM SHE HAS SHAMELESSLY EMBARASSED.

Jitaditya

Jitaditya — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 00:00:00 +0000

I have read some of her works and it was decent although nothing special. Also nothing is sacrosanct in a modern democratic setup. If someone doesn’t like some thing he/she should have the right to express the discontent. Also following a religion is a completely personal matter. She is not bound to follow it just because her parents did so.

The solution might lie in Islam but did anyone practice it? She would have been assassinated by now had she not moved out of her country.
