Driven out of Kolkata last week, Taslima Nasrin talks to Kathleen McCaul “from hiding.”
“’I want to live in Kolkata, I don't want to live in Europe, I can't write there,’ she said. ‘I write in Bengali and I need to be surrounded by the Bengali language and culture.’ For two years it seemed she might have found a home there, but last week's events - which saw 50 people injured and a curfew imposed - have put paid to that dream.” – from “Condemned to Life as an Outsider,” by Kathleen McCaul, The Guardian
