[mukto-mona] Fw: Re: Fw: [Dahuk]: Sunil molested me:Taslima



I know there are people who will never believe anything she said or wrote. But, it is quite surprising that some women are also testifying against her sexual harassment allegation. The question is how do they know for sure? Isn't it odd, and something to think about who may be lying here. How can anyone know about what happened between these two individuals? This type of incident does not happen with everybody. I don't know what happened. Why people are so eager to refute her allegation. Something to think about – isn't it?

 

I remember when she was ousted from West Bengal to some other state in India, she was accusing Sunil Ganguli for the ban of her book, and her ouster from West Bengal. Her argument was that - her book contained inferences of multiple sexual encounters with Sunil Ganguli, and to cover that up Sunil Ganguli orchestrated the ban on her book and her ouster from West Bengal. Really, no one knows, but these two individuals, if everything was consensual or exploitation or molestation. It is possible that - she may have exploited him. Who knows?

 

You may say why is she saying these things again now? She already said why? Now, Sunil Ganguli is  the President of the Sahitya Academy, who worked for banning her book. It's a quite plausible explanation - isn't it?

That would not surprise me considering the man needing Scotch whisky and women' company for his daily urge to compose few paragraphs of his commercial writings.

Taslima tweets: Sunil molested me



Controversial writer Taslima Nasreen accused noted Indian writer Sunil Gangopadhyay on Monday of sexually harassing her.Taslima, who has been prevented by authorities from returning to Bangladesh for 18 years, brought the accusation on Twitter saying Sunil had "sexually harassed" her and many other young female authors and poets.

Sunil brushed off the allegations. He told bdnews24.com, "I am not giving a damn about this (allegation). She had said such things against several people in the past after coming to Kolkata . I am busy with my own work."

In her Twitter post, Taslima said on Monday: "My previous four tweets are only to prove that Sunil G is now lying in the media that he did not support the banning of Dwikhandito."

The third of her five autobiographical novels, Dwikhandito or Split in two, had touched off rowdy protests and a series of street fights in Kolkata in November 2007, forcing nervous West Bengal state authorities to ask her to get out of the city. Taslima decided to take out the pages of the book that had controversial remarks a month later.

When approached by bdnews24.com, Sunil Gangopadhyay said, " I am not taking this (allegations) seriously. She said these things against several persons at numerous times before after coming to Kolkata . I am busy with my own works."

The award-winning feminist writer tweeted: "Sunil Gangopadhyay is for book banning. He sexually harassed me & many other women. He is the President of the Sahitya Akademi. Shame shame!"

Further: "Sunil Gangopadhyay asked former WB govt to ban my book Dwikhandita. Now he is speaking against book banning. Such a hypocrite!� No Bengali has courage to tear off the mask of writer Sunil Gangopadhyay, the hypocrite and women abuser."

Taslima got a good deal of response to her tweet, prompting her to tweet back on Monday.One of her tweets read: "Reason Sunil Ganguly behind to ban my book, I was tearing off the masks of women abusers lyk (like) him. Sunil Gangapadhyay was the mastermind behind banning of my book Dwikhandita and my banishment from West Bengal."

In response, Sunil told The Statesman: "Why is she speaking out so late?" He said he isn't on Twitter, nor does he give any importance to such "baseless allegations".

"People tend to criticise good works more and praise less. I don't want to react on (to) this as it would give unnecessary importance to her blabber," he said.
There were diverse reactions to Taslima's tweet. One tweet asked why she is often the subject of alleged sexual harassment.

Taslima angered conservative Muslims with her writings and fled Bangladesh in 1994 after radical Muslims demanded her execution.She has been living in exile for the last 18 years after a fatwa was issued against her in Bangladesh for her writings criticising Islam.

Taslima, who had been in Kolkata since 2003, became a hot political issue for New Delhi with the Hindu nationalist opposition accusing the government of pandering to Muslim minorities by trying to get her out of the country.

She fled Bangladesh for the first time in 1994 when a court said she had "deliberately and maliciously" hurt Muslims' religious feelings with her Bengali-language novel "Lajja", or "Shame", which is about riots between Muslims and Hindus.

Several of her books have been banned in India and Bangladesh. The European Parliament awarded her the Sakharov Prize for freedom of thought in 1994.
