Taslima Nasreen has taken a right decision to leave the country as she could no longer tolerate the secluded life. She is under stress is known to all. But no one is responsible for this situation but herself. She created a situation in which she is finding herself difficult to adjust. She is a literary figure every one will respect but going out to defame the very religion in which she was born was her monumental mistake. She regretted later but then damage has been done and any withdrawal of the portions from her controversial memoirs has done no good to her. She continued to live a life of a recluse and that made all the difference. She was hounded out of Kolkatta and the short reception given by the safron brigade to her was short lived as they too disowned her. She thought by maligning the world's greatest religion she will get boquet from the safron brigades. They did welcome her and extended qualified hospitality but when the situation became hot for them, they disowned her. This is the fate of a person who depends too much on such elements. Hope Taslima during her seven months sojourn with this kind of life would have learnt a lesson that such blashphemous writings will bring her no laurels but brickbats. She owes an apology to muslims all over the world whom she had hurt more. If she does, as every sinner has a future, will be appreciated in the Islamic world. It is still time left for her to repent and write something appreciable by one and all in India and abroad.

My friend Nasir, If U were a Muslim and now studying Geeta that must be very refreshing....try 2 read what Aldous Huxley the very famous British Philosopher said about Geeta....he said "It is a book of Mankind, to guide them in the right direction". Geeta is really a fascinating book, Akbar was pleased so much that he ordered the Arabic Translation. Later Darashikoh who was Aurangzeb's elder brother translated Geeta into Persian. Always try to read the end pages of Geeta, which is known as "Geeta Mahatamya". U must understand that Hinduism is a Sanatan Concept, i.e Traditional as well as Eternal. It evolved on its own as Man became more Intelligent as well as Rational.....it's founders are us, the people. Now we even can follow it as a Common Sense. I am proud to be a Sanatani and use it as a Common Sense. Yoga, Meditation is nothing but manifestation of Common Sense. Good Luck, and please say Gita Rules
