Read: Lajja by Taslima Nasreen
by Sandra Almeida on Jan 21, 2005 05:36 AM

After reading the book Lajja (based on true events - and banned in Bangladesh) by Taslima Nasreen I realized how Hindus in Bangladesh were treated after the shameful destruction of the Babri Masjid in 1992.

The book helped me empathize with these refugees and helped me understand the inhuman circumstances that these poor people who lost their home and family had to endure before taking refuge in India.

India is a benevolent country and we need to be more tolerant towards these refugees who have undergone religious persecution. After all, where will these people who have lost all go?

Wouldn't it be wise for the government to focus their efforts to better the infrastructure of the Kendrapara district in Orissa to support all who reside there?
