@Shyam Roy…….before criticizing Islam and the rights of women in Islam. I would urge you to be a good hindu and read your holy books, you’ll get to know how much rights your religion gives to women, also count (if you can) how many wives your hindu gods had. This might open your eyes.

Everyone in this planet has an explicit right to criticize his or her own religion and express views on any subject except the use of violent and profane language. If Islam or any religion for that matter is great, then it should be able to withstand any criticism from its followers. That could not be construed as insult. The problem is Islam is religion that is extremely derogatory to women like covering them with burqa, four wives per man, and no rights for women etc. like no other religion in this planet. What Taslima did is to speak against the evils of Islam and the atrocities of the Moslems in Bangladesh against Hindu minorities like force to marry one daughter to a Moslem for Islamification of the Hindu families in Bangladesh. Taslima, being an elite intellectual of Bangladesh, spoke against the evils of her own religion, own society, and own country. Being a woman of Islam is a crime in itself.

Being a woman in Bangladesh and India is no easy picnic either. In Bangladesh and India particularly West Bengal, women including female children, have no more rights than family pets. Scores of girls, women, and even female fetus are abused or tortured, or killed every single day under a variety of pretexts in these regions every single day. In Bangladesh, under the Law of Sharia and in West Bengal under the communist rule, the funeral of Democracy has been over a long long time ago. Thus, pushing for democratic rights or talking about that is nothing more than intellectual mumbo jumbo. Under these poisonous conditions of these societies, women are expected to be tortured and suffer in quiet pain and not expected to oppose or speak against let alone write about it.

Taslima Nasrin dared to write and chronicle them in magnificent eloquence that should be must reading for all high school students in all societies. That is not to put any religion on the spot but to start a Jihad against the abuse of women in this planet start a movement fro true equal rights for men and women.

Beleaguered Bangladeshi author Taslima Nasreen has found an unlikely ally in the form of Gujarat CM Narendra Modi, a man who is accused of masterminding the 2002 communal conflagration in his state.
As BJP launches their election campaign they are losing no opportunity to embarrass the Left Front government and the UPA on the Taslima Nasreen issue.The party which wants lakhs of Bangladesi migrants to leave India is now taking up the cause of the Bangladeshi author and wants to raise the issue in Parliament.
On the other hand the same people are refusing MF Hussain to enter the country because he offended Hindus.
