Taslima Nasreen returns to Kolkata after 19 years
Bangladesh-born author Taslima Nasreen has returned to Kolkata after a nearly 19-year absence. She described her arrival as an "emotional homecoming" and stated she felt "very good to be back." Nasreen had previously made Kolkata her home but left in 2007 following protests against her book 'Dwikhandito' and had been residing in Delhi. Her return coincides with a literary event focused on anti-fundamentalism.
