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

The Hindutvadis in India made a big issue out of Lajja. The dogs barked and following them we the communalists in Bangladesh started barking too to fish in the troubled waters. Both the communalist groups were successful in reaping the political benefits. We should have accommodated this 'rebel' or 'heretic'---I don't care what you call her. We did not do that. We made her a 'hero'. By doing this we have undermined our image as a tolerant society. 
We should not forget that Taslima used to columns in Bichitra (?) which was very popular.

Prof. Kamal Das has recently opined that Taslima's "Lajja" initially had no repurcussions in Bangladesh. He is right. Whatever reactions---some very violent---were manufactured by a section of communalist "bhodrolokes" and obviously by the Islamic fundamentaists. That means the whole issue was tactfully politicized and many knowingly or unknowingly got trapped into it. Common people of Bangladesh are not only noncommunal, they are very simple minded. They have no problem in accepting the fact that minority persecution is a reality. Ordinary people are also victims of oppression and exploitation by the powerful people of the country. Only the "bhodrolokes" worry about the "bhabmoorti" of the country, common people do not have time to do it.

তসলিমা নাসরিনকে নিয়ে এখন মুক্তমনায় অনেক লেখা দেখছি/ অধিকাংশ বিপক্ষে এবং সেটাই স্বাভাবিক/ কারণ: তসলিমাকে বুঝতে হলে যেটুকু জ্ঞান থাকা প্রয়োজন, অধিকাংশের তা নেই/ আর এক দল আছেন, যারা তসলিমাকে গালি দিয়ে টিকে থাকতে চান-যেমন সুনীলবাবু/ যারা 'লজ্জা' নিয়ে তসলিমাকে গালি দেয়; তারা মোটামুটি সবাই সাম্প্রদায়িক/ এরা কেউ থাকবেন না; তসলিমা থাকবেন/ আমার ধারণা, এ মুহুর্তে বাংলা সাহিত্যে তসলিমার ধরে কাছেও কেউ নেই; তাই ওরা আজেবাজে বকছে/ তসলিমার দোষ মাঝে মাঝে তিনি সত্য বলে ফেলেন; তার সাহস আছে; যারা তার সমালোচনা করেন, তারা সত্য মানতে ভয় পান/ তসলিমা মৌলবাদীদের গালে সজোরে যে থাপ্পরটি মেরেছেন; ওরা সেটি আজো ভুলতে পারছে না/ ধন্যবাদ/
