Taslima's Kolkata Homecoming: 'Communal Veto' Blocked?
Taslima Nasreen, the exiled Bangladeshi author and human rights activist, is set to return to Kolkata nearly two decades after she was forced to leave the city following violent protests over her writings.
The 63-year-old writer had to flee Kolkata after protests erupted over allegations of blasphemy in her autobiographical book, Dwikhandito (Divided). The then CPM-led government banned the book.
