Exiled Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen returned to Kolkata on Friday nearly two decades after she was forced to leave the city following protests over her controversial book 'Dwikhondito'. "I am really liking it here," said Nasreen as she landed at Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport in West Bengal's capital city. This is the author-activist's first public appearance in Kolkata since 2007, when protests against her memoir forced her to leave the city she had made her home after fleeing Bangladesh a decade earlier.
Her book was banned by the then CPM-led Bengal government in 2003 for allegedly hurting religious sentiments. The 63-year-old now lives in Delhi on a long-term residence permit.
