Taslima Nasreen returned to Kolkata after 19 years for her first public appearance.
She was forced to leave the city in 2007 following protests over her memoir 'Dwikhondito'.
Nasreen said the return felt like coming back to 'my own country'.
She expressed hope the visit would reaffirm freedom of expression and protection of dissenting voices.
Her August 1 programme may be attended by West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari and author Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay.
