TASLIMA NASREEN
A lesson to learn from

The pen is mightier that the sword is a cliché known far and wide. But what if your own pen becomes the sword that falls on your neck? Ask Taslima Nasreen, the much criticised and most discussed gyno-turned-writer; a Bangladeshi woman whose first book Lajja shot her to fame, in a manner none would desire. And, you get your answer.

Chased by Islamic groups, who charged her of making vile statements, she flew to Europe. After staying on exile in Europe for almost a decade, Taslima decided to live in India’s old capital – Kolkata, which as she felt was “the closest to home.” But December 2007 saw her being deported to New Delhi where she was supposedly given a “safe house”, or a “house-arrest”, as she reportedly claims. And when India decided to boot her in March 2008, she finally flew off to Scandanavia.

True, she was a Bangladeshi and that her government had more responsibility to deliver her justice. But she remains a lesson in India’s history of when hospitality was confused for house-arrest! She lost. Non-secular, non-democratic India won! But if India has to be the next force this century, it has to remember the Taslima tale and ensure that no Taslima loses next time!
