Why Taslima Nasreen is returning to Kolkata nearly 20 years after she left
Bangladeshi author Taslima Nasreen will return to Kolkata on August 1 for her first public appearance since 2007, following her exile due to protests against her book Dwikhondito. The event, organized by three groups, will feature her poems and songs, with West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari expected to attend. Nasreen's departure from Kolkata was prompted by fundamentalist protests, marking a significant moment in her life as she reconnects with the city after nearly two decades.
