Bangladeshi author Taslima Nasrin set to return to Kolkata after nearly 20 years
Taslima Nasrin will attend an anti-fundamentalism event in Kolkata next month. She was forced to leave the city in 2007 after protests over her writings. The BJP government views her return as a reversal of past capitulation. This event signifies a new political backdrop for the author's visit. Organizers celebrate her stand against religious fundamentalism and freedom of expression.
