What a shame!

There is a saying which goes like "a guest is like a god", but in taslima's case the government treated her worse to a criminal. I dont know why the current government is so shy at taking right decisions. It always has this shaky feet and is so scared to move forward but surprisingly it ca step backward with ease. Taslima's case is like a muslim VS muslim, and the government which calls itself secular [needs to either change meaning of secular or must understand what is secular] was caught in the wrong foot, if it was majority VS minority, its easy for the govt to gag the majority and pander to minority. I really dont think that Taslima crossed the line anywhere as long as she was in india, she was heckled wherever she went and i saw that video report where some fundamentalist moron threw slippers at her in a public meeting and it was shown repeatedly on the news channel but even to date no action is taken. Its a real shame that these so called govt representatives ... be it ruling or opposition has spolit our cultural image by resorting to vote bank politics. I really look forward to military rule in india where whatever religion you want to practice ...must be limited to your personal space. It was sad to hear what Taslima said when she left to an unknown destination

"I was put under tremendous stress but I could not speak out as I was under their (government) surveillance and could be harassed by them," she said in a choked voice from the British capital. "The government (Indian) is no better than religious fundamentalists," she said. Nasreen said she used to call the government safe-house in Delhi where she was put up as the "torture chamber". "I gradually came to realise that it was the chamber of death instead," Taslima said, adding she was forced to leave India because of "extreme stress" that she went through the last four months"

Now what is to be seen is whether they treat Dalai Lama the same way as her if china requested dalai to be put on gag?
