Yes ofcouse she has. All the Ruling Congress’ UPA wants to do is appease the minorities’ completely unreasonable demand in the process making the freedom of expression and thought completely irrelevant. First it was the artist, M.F Hussain. Now it is Taslima Nasreen, hell, rather the narrow minded Indian Government only knows who next it will target to appease the minorities with it’s divisive brand of politics.

The Indian government has always wanted to safeguard its vote bank by pleasing the minorities, and this time its no exception! India can give shelter to the Bangladeshi Muslims and the Tibetians, but when it comes to stand with one Muslim, facing threat from her own community, our government backs out. It dreads to lose the support of its millions of fond Muslim voters, even though it means curbing the right to express in a person.

Yes, She has become the victim of vote bank politics. She was living in Kolkata and all of a sudden the CPM government in Bengal and the UPA government in centre realize that her stay in India is not good for country’s secular health. What kind of secularism is this?

A Muslim wearing Sherwani and a topi is secular for these leaders but sadhu wearing safron dress is communal. Talking and writing against Hindu God and Goddesses is ok but the person who tries to portray the evils of Islam is unacceptable for these leaders.

For these leaders the song ’Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram’ in Rajdhani Express is communal because it has a word ’Ram’. All, who talk about temples and ram Sethu are communal for them.

Shah Bano case has been crushed under the name of vote bank politics. In India politics decides everything and it happened in Taslima episode.

Now, I do believe all Muslim organisations would issue fatwas for Muslim voters to caste their vote in favour of Congress, other UPA allies and CPM in coming general election. This is what exactly the hidden agenda behind all the drama.

Taslima has sent a letter to a news agency and revealed the trauma she was facing in Delhi. the letter is published here. This is real face of India. Indiaenews has published the text of her letter.

Politicians can even sell the country to get votes to remain in power. people who run international racket of illegal kidney transplant, rapists who killed innocent kids, terrorists like Afzal Guru, artists like MF Hussien, can stay live in India but not Taslima.

We should invite more Taslimas, Rushdies in India to educate Indian politicians and Indian minority extremists about the teachings of Islam. Clerics cannot teach them like these intellectual Muslims can.

I wonder where are Human rights activists who were jumping on the issue of death punishment to Afzal Guru and the inttelectuals who were crying on the episode of MF Hussien's property attachment for his absence in the court. I guess they don't come out for good cause. They speak only when a criminal get punishment.

When India is a secular country what is the need of Muslim personnel law board? They always stage demonstration for palestein or Iraq or Iran but never for Indian cause. they never issue fatwas against Kashmiri terrorists killing innocent people in the valley. They never ask Pakistan to stop cross-border terrorism but issue fatwas against writers like Taslima.

It's a shame that she has to leave India. Yes, definitely she is a victim of communal politics played by the Congress and the Left. Both claim to be secular while banning books by authors, bullying writers and hounding them. It is sad to see her leaving India because the 'atheist' commies in WB secretly offer namaaz and subsidize circumcision for Muslim boys during clandestine ration card distributing ceremonies to illegal Muslim infiltrators from Bangladesh.

Pranab Mukherjee was once sacked from the Congress for 6 years by his current dominatrix's husband when he was the PM. It is unbelievable to see how things have changed since then. This shameless man has got no ideals. He is now ready to lick the bum of the communists who has got the Congress Party's balls to squeeze them over a myriad of issues like the Indo-US nuclear deal, fuel prices, or Taslima Nasreen.

Taslima Nasreen is a victim of the spineless Indian political game where morals, principles and ethics are non-existent things. This is a huge loss of face for us Indians. As BJP CM Narendra Modi welcomed Taslima to stay in his state of Gujarat, I hope to see her being welcomed back when this current government is replaced by real secularist right-wing parties.

with the mumbo-jumbo loan waiver stunt, with the tasleema problem accounted for indian politicians esp the congress can now hope to get the best of both worlds - the hindu majority of poor farmers and the muslim hounds.

have you noticed something? wearing a skull cap and keeping beard has become very fashionable within the muslim youth today?

the west bengal govt can accommodate millions of illegal immigrants from bangladesh and distribute them ration and voter cards making them legitimate indian citizens, but cannot accommodate a single woman persecuted from her motherland because she chose freedom of expression over her own personal safety.

whether the leftist west bengal govt remains in power in the next state elections following nandigram, singur etc remains to be seen.

Of course yes! I am ashamed to be an Indian when incidents such as these happen.

I must say that Taslima is indeed a thankless person. Instead of showing her gratitude to India for granting her asylum, she is calling India fundamentalist nation. Cant she remember that India is the only country which let her in when whole Islamic world was after her life. As a matter of fact if she happens to commit any other blasphemy in future, then once again India is the only country in the world that wil grant her asylum.

@parul
India is soon becoming a fundamentalist nation, not becuase of the tolerant Indian general public, but because of a few fundamentalist elements and the Indian government which dances to the fundamentalists’ tune to cling on to it’s vote bank. And there is nothing wrong in what Taslima has said. She has just spoken the truth. And this is not the first time the government at the centre has toed the fundamental line, M.F Hussain and to a certain extent Sania Mirza has been victim to the foolish fundamentalists’ ire and the government has not done anything to stp it from happening. By the way, Taslima was tortured when the government granted her the so called asylum status. It would do us all well if we remember the chain of events than just blame Taslima for our government’s string of mistakes which just don’t seem to end. If someone were to blame, then it is the Indian government and the Religious fundamentalists.
