Our dear prime minister keeps a diplomatic silence over the travails of a helpless woman Taslima who is waging a lone crusade. It is a shame that when such an event was taking place, there were no proper security chekups or security guards. It happened in the the IT capital of India. How the MIM people are allowed to go berserk at an organised event? It reminds us of similar attacks on artists in Baroda. If some find fault with others, the protestors can always organise other ways of protest like black flag demonstrations or taking them to court. Let Taslima settle in a first world country where she may get some security.In Andhra Pradesh there is this famous author who wrote a scathing attack on Ramayana and Ram but nothing like this happened to her. If a religion does not allow legitimate criticism, that religion stagnates. Rebellion is the civilisation's hallmark. If there were no new thoughts, no new ways of thinking We would be still in stone age.

Manmohan looses his sleep only when he is told to do so by Sonia , Sonia says only when her minority vote banks are concerned . The attack on Taslima Nasreen bolsters their minority vote bank , in our country, when it is a matter of minority vote bank is concerned, the interest of country take a back seat . Mera Bharat Mahan
