All I Ever Want Is To Return

I Was Well Acquainted With The Calcutta Literary Circle Since I Was 17, When I Lived In Bangladesh And Published And Edited A Little Magazine Called 'sejuti,' For Which Young Poets From Both Bengals Wrote. If You Look At My Life, There Is No Question Of Using Anyone For Anything. I Have Only Got Banned, Blacklisted And Banished.

If Any Religion Allows The Persecution Of The People Of Different Faiths, If Any Religion Keeps Women In Slavery, If Any Religion Keeps People In Ignorance, Then I Can't Accept That Religion.

I’m An Atheist, And I Believe Religion Is Totally Against Human Rights And Women’s Rights.

I Have Had Fatwas Issued Against Me, Some Three In Bangladesh And Another Five In India. I Will Not Be Cowed By These Threats And Shall Fight For My Rights.

The Fundamentalists Are Increasing. People, Afraid To Oppose Those Fundamentalists, Shut Their Mouths. It Is Really Very Difficult To Make People Move Against A Sensitive Issue Like Religion, Which Is The Source Of Fundamentalism.
