Description

Taslima Nasrin - Lajja





Lajja (Shame) is the live depiction of the ethnic cleansing in Bangladesh. The Dutta family living in Bangladesh all their lives refused to live the country in spite of occasional terrorization by the Muslim fundamentalists. But when the retaliation against the Hindu families sparked after the demolition of Babri Masjid in Ayodhya, India, in 1992 and the flames of hatred, killings, and bloodletting started, the nightmare arrives at the Dutta's doorstep and their world begins to fall apart. What happens with each and every Hindu family, living with the Muslims for centuries we see vividly in this story. This is not a report of any journalist, statesman, or politician. What is unique with this novel is the personal daily diary of an eyewitness, Taslima Nasreen, who was engulfed in this drama. Muslims of Bangladesh called for a ban on her novel. In Oct. 1993, an Islamic fundamentalist group, the Council of Islamic Soldiers offered a bounty for her death. In Aug. 1994 she was brought up on "charges of making inflammatory statements," and faced death threats from Islamic fundamentalists and religious Muslims. A hundred thousand demonstrators called her "an apostate"; a "militant faction threatened to set loose thousands of poisonous snakes in the capital unless she was executed." After spending two months in hiding, at the end of 1994 she escaped to Sweden, consequently ceasing her medical practice and becoming a full-time writer and activist. Since then, she has been moving from place to place.
