CANACONA (Goa): Noted Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen on Saturday said India is her home and she has no alternative but to live in exile for rest of her life.

"I have been living in exile since 1994. I know I have no other alternative but to live in exile for rest of my life. I feel I have nowhere to go or country to return to. I say now India is my country, India is my home," the 54-year-old writer told the gathering at the "India Ideas Conclave 2016", currently underway in Goa.

The Conclave is organised by India Foundation.

"How much more we have to suffer at the hands of fundamentalists and their political allies for daring to articulate the truth. Even after all that has happened, I still believe, that sincere honest truly secular part of the continent, India is the safe refuge, only refuge," said the writer.

"They must understand that Islam must go through enlightenment process similar to that other religion that has gone through by questioning the inhuman, unequal, unscientific and irrational aspects of the religion," she said referring to the fundamentalists.

"The narrow minded and the political (people) will forever throw society into the darkness, quiet a handful others will always strive for betterment of society and good sense prevail.

"It is only few special people who seek to dream about change, that is how it has always been," Nasreen, the writer of much acclaimed book "Lajja" said.

Very truly said Tasleema that Islam should also go through critical scrutiny that applies all other religions. Why it is to exempted? Its foolish to believe that whatever the mullas say or explain is... Read MoreReality Check

Talking about Bangladesh, she said, "I truly hope that the secular movement in my country will begin and turn into positive political movement for true democracy and secular state. The state which will govern on equality and educational system that is secular, scientific."

"People must know that Islam must not be exempted from the critical scrutiny that applies all other religions as well," said the writer.[/QUOTE]

:lol: You are 16? I was almost a man at 16.

Knowing you Indians, you were a short, stubby 'man' who probably talked fast and regularly bobbled his head. :lol:

If they give her a platform, and the Congress is scared to do that, and the CPM were the people who drove her out, why not?

Just goes to show what a mess the Indian "secular" model is. Outspoken atheists requiring the backing of fanatical Hindu groups to speak openly. :disagree:

Probably. does that make a difference?

Yes, because there is a very strong retrogressive Muslim community, led by primitive people.

While you were busy being a smart-alec and pointing out something that liberal Indians are fighting every step of the way, you forgot to remind us that there would be no such opportunity to speak in your country. At least we have a messed up secular model, and we can work on it. What do you have instead?

That's the Indian """""secular""""" model at work there. Bravo Nehru!

Uh, we're an Islamic Republic. We don't keep up the pretension of being a shecular country so we can snap up an entire subcontinent and impose Hindoo culture and customs on others.

What did Nehru have to do with it? And what is the deal with the multiple quotation marks?

LOL.

There's a very large number of Hindus - and Muslims, and Sikhs, and Buddhists, and Jains, and Parsis, and Christians - fighting every day, in small and in big ways to make sure that Hindu domination does not happen.

As for your Islamic Republic, that was Bhutto, and that was a decision that is mentioned second every time a Pakistani tries to explain why Pakistan really isn't like 'that'.

People who talk that they look like Adonis on the net are those who are short, stubby 'man' who probably talked fast and regularly bobbled his head.

I don't need to. 8-)

Now don't waste my time on useless posts.

What did Nehru have to do with it?

Didn't touch Muslim personal laws since he knew his """"""""secular"""""""" country would be ravaged if he did so.

And what is the deal with the multiple quotation marks?

It's the new 'in' thing on the web.

There's a very large number of Hindus - and Muslims, and Sikhs, and Buddhists, and Jains, and Parsis, and Christians - fighting every day, in small and in big ways to make sure that Hindu domination does not happen.

Basically regional parties trying to cash in on the minority vote by putting up token resistance to Hindoo domination. And Congress. Lol.

It goes back further than Bhutto, right back to the Objectives Resolution.
