Taslima returns to India
New Delhi, Feb 9 (PTI):
Controversial Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen has returned to India seeking extension of her visa.
The 47-year-old Bangladeshi writer, who has been a target of Islamic fundamentalists, is currently staying at an undisclosed destination, official sources said.
Taslima had left India in August last year for Washington after succeeding to get extension of visa which expires on February 16.
The writer has been requesting for permanent residency in the country but the government has not taken any decision on the issue.
She had earlier expressed her desire to visit Kolkata, which has been turned down saying radical elements may try and harm her, the sources said. Earlier, she was dramatically bundled out from West Bengal in November 2007 in the wake of violent protests by radical Muslim groups there.
Taslima has lived in exile in many countries, including France, Sweden, the US and India, since leaving her home in Dhaka in a cloak of secrecy in 1994. During her stay in India in the last five years, she has periodically travelled abroad with the last trip being in August 2009.
Welcome Taslima.You must update the understanding of koran to 21century.Quite a lot of muslims are incarcerated in 7 th century itself.BREAK THEIR SHELLS AND DRILL THEIR SKULLS.I support your view that muslim men are Sexists.While they have all the advantages; like Polygamy and marrying women of other faith they dont allow poluandry and virtually keep you trapped in Burka and not allow you to marry men from other faith.Kudos!!You are a Gutsy lady.
So is APJ. Unfortunately since these Muslims visit temple, read Gita, they are not considered ideal muslims by the muslims. However, ideal Hindus are those Hindus who host Iftars, goto Mosques and embrace Muslims. isnt it ridiculous.
