Samir It is not as if the secularists have not defended or supported Taslima. It is just that she is not an artist or celebrity like MFH and therefore has not been hogging the media headlines. Further, the very fact that she could get asylum in India and live in Kolkotta speaks a lot for itself. That the hindutva forces are fishing in troubled waters is also self evident from this article by Sitaram Yechury. * http://www.hindustantimes.com/News-Feed/bigidea/Our-con-artists/Article1-260498.aspx *
Further, on doing a search on the net, I also find that the secular lobby has indeed defended and supported Taslima. Please refer following link; http://www.sacw.net/FreeExpAndFundos/defendtaslimaDec07.pdf Regards, Marshall
