The exiled Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen has said that the culture of Bengali Muslim is not a Hindu, not Arab. Reacting to this, famous lyricist-poet Javed Akhtar said that we should also appreciate the Ganga-Jamani Awadh culture, it has nothing to do with Arabia.
Taslima said in his post on X on the occasion of Durga Ashtami on Tuesday, “The ancestors of Hindus, Buddhists, Christians, Muslims and even atheists were almost all Indian Hindus.” We are Bengali, whatever religion or philosophy we have adopted, in our national identity. Bengali Muslims are not the culture of Arabia. Its culture is Bengali culture, and that culture is a Hindu tradition.
Dhol-Nagade, music, dance, these are manifestations of Bengali culture. This is the meaning of being Bengali. Refuse it is to deny yourself. Taslima also posted photos of Durga Pandal along with the post.

Javed said-
Javed Akhtar said, we respect the people of traditional Awadh a lot of Bengali culture, language and literature. But if a great Ganga is not able to appreciate and respect the Jamuni Awadh culture and its sophistication, then it is completely his defeat. This culture has nothing to do with Arabia.
Yes, Parsis and Central Asian cultures and languages have been mixed in our culture and language like Western culture, but on our terms. By the way, many Bengali surnames also occur in Persian.

Nasreen has been living in India since 2011, permit renewed 6 months ago
Nasreen has been living in India since 2011 and has citizenship of Sweden. In October 2024, the Government of India increased the Indian Residence permit of Taslima Nasreen. After receiving the permit, the writer thanked Home Minister Amit Shah on the social media platform X.
Indeed, the resident permit is an official document, which allows a foreign national to stay in India for more than 180 days. Foreign citizens who plan to live in India for a longer time have to take this permit from the Foreign Regional Registration Office.
The reason for Taslima leaving Bangladesh …
- In 1994, a fatwa was issued against her in Bangladesh due to Taslima’s writing. The reason for this was his books. His novel ‘Lajja’ (1993) and his autobiography ‘Amar Meebela’ (1998) are particularly involved in this.
- ‘Lajja’ gave rise to controversy by the story of violence on Hindus in Bangladesh after the Babri Masjid demolition in India. The novel mentioned incidents of rape, looting and murder. This angered Islamic fundamentalists. Nasreen had to leave Bangladesh after heavy protests.
- He has since faced many challenges. He took refuge in India, but here too he had to change his place again and again. She first stayed in Kolkata and Jaipur, then settled in Delhi under a permanent residence permit.
The ban was banned only 6 months after the shame was published in Bangladesh.
- According to media reports, Taslima went to Bangladesh for a few days in 1998, but there was Sheikh Hasina’s government at that time. Therefore, he was forced to leave the country again by the Bangladeshi government.
- Taslima Sheikh Hasina’s opponent Khaleda Zia also holds Jia responsible for this. He had said that both of them did not allow him to stay in Bangladesh and promoted Islamic fundamentalists.
- Taslima also lived in Europe for many years. She moved to India during 2004-2005. She was initially in Kolkata, West Bengal. He had said that by staying close to Bangladesh, she will continue to feel the experience of her homeland from Kolkata. However, in 2007 she moved to live in Jaipur and now she lives in Delhi.
