Indian Twitter commended English cricketers for standing by Moeen Ali, but also criticised Indian cricketers for not speaking up during past instances of racism.
During her long exile, Taslima Nasreen’s parents, brothers, grandmother, aunts, uncles and teachers have grown old and died in Bangladesh. And she couldn’t say goodbye.
The home ministry extended controversial Bangladeshi author Taslima Nasreen's Indian residence permit to a year from three months after she appealed to Home Minister Amit Shah.
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.
Peter Manuel's ‘Cassette Culture’ showed the booming Bhakti music during the '80s and '90s when Anoop Jalota, Gulshan Kumar achieved success by singing the sanitised Bhajans.
Economists say there are weaknesses in India’s GDP data. But statisticians claim the accusations are based on flawed understanding, saying while GDP has problems, the economists are looking in the wrong places.
I support Talima Nasreen. What she said is right. Even though he as found cricket, he is still an ISIS. After retiring from cricket, mark my words he is going to be ISIS. Call me hate monger, I dont care
Hindu Militant: Well hate monger, there is absolutely no proof that Moeen Ali belongs to any militant organisation such as ISIS. Perhaps you could start by revealing which Hindu Taliban outfit you belong to: Bajrang Dal ? Adityanath’s Hindu Yuva Vahini? Ram Sene?
Taslima Nasreen had to face fatwas from mullahs, nobody bat an eyelid then. I hope and wish these left cabal spends a year along with their families in Pakistan and Bangladesh in a lower middle class conservative society – and come out alive!
WHEN LAST YEAR TASLIMA ASKED A.R. RAHMAN DAUGHTER WHY SHE IS WEARING VEIL ( HIJAB) ARE YOU NOT SUFFOCATED, SEE NOW WHOLE WORLD IS WEARING MASK.THIS IS POWER OF GOD, SO PLEASE DON’T UNDER ESTIMATE THE POWER OF GOD.
Mr Ahmed Basheer: It is not the power of God, but the power of a virus. Prior to invention of the anti-rabies by Louis Pasteur, people thought that vampires were responsible for rabies which science later proved to be untrue.
And yes, both the veil and the mask lead to breathing difficulties. When the virus is gone, the masks will go, but the veil, rightly or wrongly is seen as a symbol of female oppression in many non-Muslim countries and may persist. And it is banned in many of them, the latest being Switzerland.
So please don’t read too much into the disease.
WHEN TASLIMA ASK A.R.RAHMAN DAUGHTER, WHY SHE IS WEARING VEIL ( HIJAB.) , ARE YOU NOT SUFFOCATED, SEE NOW WHOLE WORLD IS WEARING MASK. THIS IS POWER OF GOD. SO PLEASE DON’T UNDER ESTIMATE THE POWER OF GOD.
Dear The point you are a an anti India propaganda machine, the whole world knows . You don’t have time to highlight the positive things but rush to break a headline which happens 1 in 1000. This shows your despiration to paint India in Abad light and your longstanding victim Muslim agenda . India has seen a dozen of Muslim presidents but why would an extreme biased propaganda machin elite u will ever talk about it . Cherry pick just what suits your agenda.
And why do you say tht Mr Harsh ? Care to elaborate ? After all it is easy to sling mud as you do but harder to justify why you do that right?
The people who are praising Tasleema are nothing but hate mongers.
You can’t blame an entire community for the actions of a small group. It’s as in a locality of 10000 people there are 20 thieves and u call the entire locality as theft loving.
These are just ways to spread hate and people commenting in support are just what we call andh bhakts- They have left their logic and are seeing the facts on Whatsapp University about some particular group and generalizing them about the entire muslim community
You put one foot forward and become modern-thinking and play world-class cricket while you are rooted deeply in traditions, rituals and fanatic beliefs on the other foot dragging back….are you not s confused person…are you not greedy commercialising cricket and amassing wealth…to set the confusion at rest such s person should be confined to some religious place and be there deeply rooted and closeted away from all modernistic ways….you cannot have the cake and eat it too…?!
Is this all Much ado about nothing just because it has come from a habitual baiter?
Are we (including the media) handling these errant tweets et al as they should be. Take the case of this tweet by Taslima Nasreen (TN) on Moeen Ali (MA). If the media had not made an issue of it, I wouldn’t even have known of the tweet. And coming from TN, ignoring it would have been the best course. Nuisance value is immensely reduced by just ignoring. All those who interact with MA on a daily basis could have reassured him at a personal level, as I am sanguine would have been done. If the remark had been from even a common citizen like me, it would have been more serious than it coming from TN.
Tail piece: Has TN a hidden agenda in these utterances? Are we playing up to her agenda?
What’s so wrong about Taslima’s tweet??!! She speaks with bitter experience of first being hounded out from Bangladesh and then West Bengal. Count the number of Muslims, not only from the UK bit also from the rest of Europe , who went and fought in Syria. It was local born Muslims of Pakistani origin who bombed and carried out those terrorist acts in London. In so many European countries, Muslims are actively demanded Sharia law. Keep all this in context before you even think of condemning Taslima
Nasreen has hit the nail on it’s head…except these muslims living in the western society and of course thier pakistani counterpart no one behaves like this… This treand of women sportswomen wearing scarves from acorss the globe must end…the left liberal are upto their tak again defending the most radical Islamists ..pathetic article.. The print is losing it faster than anyone else
Don’t care,indians should support indian friendly policies only.no need to be held hostage by foreign powers or cults or cultures especially if they are detrimental to our position.this woke politics will die when the patron saint of woke that is the usa gets into a civil war due to internal contradictions and when china ascends.china is right when it comes to muslims.
In India opinions of mega stars such as cricketers matter a lot. A cricketer making an unknowingly comment causes quite a stir and a single comment can make thousands of people view a particular issue in a different manner, and it definitely adds up to the masala of news agencies. In a lot of cases, being silent is the best option if you are not well-informed.
Looks like the article was inspired by Barney Ronay’s piece in the Guardian. Both articles compare apples to oranges. On one hand, a bunch of cricketers spoke out against a vicious, bigoted, attack against their colleague. On the other hand, a bunch of cricketers spoke out against a half-baked view by some international media personalities against a structural reform in India. A fairer comparison would have been the way Indian cricketers rallied around Siraj when he was racially abused in Australia.
She has fully depressed in bangladesh.
What if she were in India.
She would probably gone to the so called
“RSS” with her fellow little people..
Have some riots( be the leader) in delhi for not giving votes
to modi, became an MLA or may be MP
Who knows.
Stupid to pick on Indian cricketers for not saying anything which goes with your opinion. This is the exact problem with the left liberals, they are just not liberal or respectful with opinions which aren’t what they want to hear. Now do you see Australian cricketers or anyone else going berserk over what Taslima has said. Please note I am not justifying her crap but please don’t hound people who haven’t offered an opinion. Regarding the farmers protest if they feel they are vindicated please go to the Indian SC which too they refuse too despite knowing very well protests are largely in Punjab and some parts of Haryana and UP largely when you even have left leaning economist like Gita Gopinath saying the reforms are good. It’s more political in nature and the Print is on which side is too well known.

propoganda article. Hypocrisy of author. That’s all I want to say.

Bringing in farm protests in this article reflects the mindset of author very leftists views

The author forgot to include the mistreatment of Dinesh Kaneria in Pakistan and Moeen Ali didn’t speak up for him

Wtf
Then what’s wrong with taliban? They r good for u.. As u and Rss guys are good for Indian Muslims.
Across the globe Muslims don’t criticize violent acts of fellow Muslims . They are themselves to blame for their notorious reputation.
Why dont u criticise our govt aggressive action in our Kashmir, bcos they r Muslims?why don’t u criticise when hindu terror mob 200 kill single poor Muslim man at an isolated place?
Woke
