Despite 'poribarton', little change from the Left
Kolkata's Shame
-The Times of India, February 3, 2012
The recent cancelling of the launch of Bangladeshi author Taslima Nasreen's latest book, Nirbashan (Exile), at the Kolkata Book Fair is "yet another example of tacit political endorsement of fundamentalists militating against freedom of expression."
The West Bengal government adopted the same spineless posture that was characteristic of the Rajasthan government.
Can our "cherished democratic values" be repeatedly held hostage by some fundamentalists?
