Split - A Life

A really good book and i would recommend it for all to read. The life of Taslima Nasrin is very interesting, who is renowned for writing eloquently on women's rights and harshly criticising religious fanaticism. The Left Front in West Bengal and the Government of Bangladesh both outlawed the Bengali version of this book in 2003 as a result of her resistance. After the ban was overturned by the Calcutta High Court in 2005, the West Bengal government withdrew the injunction; nonetheless, Nasrin was ultimately compelled to leave Kolkata and had to delete portions of the book in addition to facing a $4 million defamation lawsuit. Split: A Life, a courageous and moving book, provides readers with a window into the life and writings of one of our generation's most fearless authors.
