    This is truly terrible state of affairs and all parties are one and the same. I remember Taslima Nasreen too was meted out the same treatment by the Leftist Government. Bengal once led the country when it came to brainstorming with free thoughts and ideas and now it looks like a ' walking shadow'!!!

    It is astonishing that Javed Akhtar a well known film personality and known for his secular and liberal thoughts has given untimely sermon on need for introspection saying that no freedom is absolute.

    Salman Rushdies controversial Satanic verses is at best a mediocre novel and if not for ll the furore it created when it was published, would have probably be just another novel.But the muslim fundamentalists made sure that Rushdie became a well known International figure and also was able to amass wealth, although lost his freedom of movement for a number of years because of the Fatwa against him.The cause off all that frenzy was right here in India, mainly in Kashmir , Hyderabad and other cities from where it spread to the Arabian countries...
    Javed Akhtar has always been known for his double tlk, I have listened to him many times and felt that he is not as secular as all that...

    Pay no mind to those who talk behind your back, it simply means that you are two steps ahead !!!

    I donn't know what is right. The organiser is saying that they did not invite him. One minister is saying that he has refused to accept. CM is saying nothing was happened such. God knows who is right?

    Going into hiding is small price to pay for becoming an international, well known figure and on the strength of controversies winning a booker's award as well...He even became attractive to women and has had many intimate affairs with top models less than half his age after that, so what more can one ask for?
