Must Not Offend
Mar 21, 2008
Recent news about Taslima Nasreen:
The 45-year-old gynaecologist-turned-author - whose predicament is similar to that of Indian-born British author Salman Rushdie - had been seeking permanent residence in India, where she moved after spending time in Europe and the United States.
But New Delhi had stalled the request, fearful of a backlash from the country's 140 million-plus Muslims, and has given the openly atheistic author only six-month visas.
If free people survive in India, they will look upon this as a moment of shame in the country's history.
