In this excerpt from 'Split', which was once banned in Bengal, Taslima Nasreen talks about the response she received for her book Lajja and the impact of BJP translating it.
The book tells a tale of love and loss, saints and sinners, patriarchies and peripheries along with the trials and tribulations shared by marginalized people in modern-day Pakistan.
The NIA, which is probing 94 ‘love jihad’ cases handed over by Kerala Police, says four PFI-linked men who forced Hadiya’s conversion also encouraged Athira.
Assam CM can’t celebrate that the Congress drew a blank in the Bodoland Territorial Council polls in 2010 as well as 2015, and bagged only one in 2020.
SEBI probe concluded that purported loans and fund transfers were paid back in full and did not amount to deceptive market practices or unreported related party transactions.

What Munir has achieved with Trump is a return to normal, ironing out the post-Abbottabad crease. The White House picture gives us insight into how Pakistan survives, occasionally thrives and thinks.
Appreciate you for addressing such heinous deeds by those who think themselves to be followers of a religion. Not unexpected that such things will happen in holy places such as Kaaba or temples as hypocrites do exist everywhere. Addressing such issues should not be taken as defaming a particular religion as, I think, no religion is so weak that it will be degraded just by questioning the guilts of those who believe to be its followers! Once again I appreciate your effort if done with good intention, and I hope that external minister or the like can take such matters to the Saudi authority if any of Indian women is ever harassed this way.
But, it should also be said that if such write-ups are meant to shield those issues of Sexual harassment which take place within our premises like university campuses (such as the one happened with the students of JNU by Prof. Athul Johri) then it is absolutely unwelcome!
What the hack r u taking, what rubbish u believe a Facebook post first, then by Pakistani hoooo(kab se hahahaha????) , if Bjpians read this they r to going stop ur khaan phaan(food & water). Plz tell the people this is wrong, fb is as feku u r as Modi as his jumlas r.
With due respect whatever u have believe in but at least first start believing in urself.
Lastly that on one fb post u r writing a column shame on u.
When ur forefathers will read this they will declare u anti national (dash mukhlif) or in ur forefathers dictionary ‘desh droohi’. Plz try to understand that u can not change the perception of people about Islam, nobody can. U accept it or not, Islam is the religion of peace, prosperity, hormony & there is no other religion which is compared to Islam. And mind it whether it is America, Israel or their allies even so many Muslim country leaders (chor leaders) (not all people living there) r terrorists & spread terrorism in the world, look at the people in Palestine & other parts of the world . And we r not going to write about them anything because they are powerful, shame on u & u r calling urself a journalist.
Everything is possible by the rapist ‘he-kind’, those bastards hardly care whether its kaba, temple, church or open path. Don’t try to hide the sins of those bastards.
