You keep reading about what is happening in Kashmir these days. I need not repeat all that here. Though you hardly come to know what has truly been happening there. The reason is simple. The English language media which controls and distributes news is anti-Hindu. Why it is anti-Hindu that I have discussed in adequate depth in my other works. The information, that I shall present you here, is based on certain regional language newspapers from BanglaDesh. Their names are Ekota (meaning unity), Aazker Kaagoz (meaning todays newspaper), Bhorer Kaagoz (meaning early morning newspaper) and Glaani (The Disgrace). Besides these, there are three other publications (1) Communal Persecution and Repression in BanglaDesh (2) Communal Discrimination in BanglaDesh: Facts and Documents (3) Parishad Barta. The information from these sources have been culled out by Taslima Nasrin and presented in Lajja (meaning shame) with the following statement to their authenticity in its Preface: I have also included in the text numerous incidents, actual historical events, facts and statistics. I have verified those to the best of my ability; my sources of information include Ekota, Aazker Kaagoz, Bhorer Kaagoz and Glaani (The Disgrace), Communal Persecution and Repression in BanglaDesh, Communal Discrimination in BanglaDesh: Facts and Documents, and Parishad Barta. Taslima Nasrin March 1994 Lajja has been published by Penguin Books in Bhaarat Varsh. I am ignoring the story, the fiction part of this book. I am also ignoring the views of Taslima Nasrin on the subject. I am reproducing only the documented facts which she has presented as quoted text. Those facts are the premise on which I am building up my theme.
