‘My return to Kolkata proves injustice cannot be permanent’: Taslima Nasreen

Taslima Nasreen returned to Kolkata after 19 years, stating 'injustice can be long but cannot be permanent'.

She was forced to leave Bangladesh in 1994 due to death threats from radical groups and had lived in Kolkata until 2007.

Nasreen criticized rising religious extremism in Bangladesh, saying freedom of speech is being curtailed.

She noted that while Europe provided security, it did not give her a sense of belonging, unlike the two Bengals.

No court has ever convicted Nasreen; she faces restrictions due to opposition from fundamentalist groups.
