This is the most disgraceful moment of indian democracy and redefined the meaning of secularism..secularism doesn't mean protecting minorities in all aspects but equal rights to all religions.
What ever happened to taslima few months back at hyderabad and now in Kolkata is one of the shameful events that independent india came across...If we can not protect a lady having the biggest democracy in world...then better change the definitions of indian government..in my view its no more secular or democratic...
as some one pointed out..she never criticised islam in her book of lajja or divded..she only expressed her pain and agony undergone during childhood being islam..i believe she has every right to do that...

Dear All; Now time has come for the Indian Government to Accept Taslima as our own and give her citizenship Status.I suggest Taslima should consider relocating to Orissa which is a better place for her as the cultures are similar. Dillip Kumar Mahapatra Cell-09890087562

What Taslima is doing is called "Freedom of Speech" and What M.F. Husain is doing is called "hate against one's religion" Right?

Farooq, She has written against the society that does not necessarily mean she has insulted religion . So you mean MF Hussain has done right thing ?
