Taslima Nasreen: Her Never Ending Journey

Dear Taslima,I did not know very much about you before joining twitter.I read  your thought and I became curious to know about you. I read your biography and others related articular.After reading I came to know that mass public can be wrong.You are being harrased ,abused, and physical hurt-ed.They are not ready to listen and accept any thing beyond their thinking .(Cave, as you always say.) 

They think what they think is right and Taslima should be killed for insulting of Islam. Unfortunately all are same mentality and they came together against you and others started believing that all cannot be wrong and they all assumed that Taslima is a culprit and she should be punished. 

I would like to share, what I knew about you...you are awarded many time for your writing for human rights and others topics.(I am not a good writer and my English is also not good.)

Black lines indicate you and Red lines indicate me.

Humankind is facing an uncertain future.The probability of new kinds of rivalry and conflict looms large.
I am not able to describe.
In particular, the conflict is between two different ideas, secularism and fundamentalism. I don't agree with those who think the conflict is between religions or between the East and the West.
I agree.
To me, this conflict is basically between rational, logical thinking and irrational blind faith.
I agree.
To me, this is a conflict between modernity and anti-modernism. While some strive to go forward, others strive to go backward.
I strongly believe.
This is a conflict between innovation and tradition, between those who value freedom and those who do not.

True,I hearty accept.
I believe in human rights, women’s rights, the freedom of speech and thought and expression, gender equality, secular humanism, and scientific rationality.
I am agree and with you.
These are unshakable beliefs.
It is must.
Inasmuch as I believe in my right to express my thoughts and opinions, 

I support you.But sometime law does not allow.

I also believe in the rights of those who oppose my thoughts and expressions. They must individually have the right to express their thoughts freely, and so must I. 

Great.

I am opposed to male oppression, religious fundamentalism, superstition, economic disparity, misogyny, ignorance, inequalities,injustices, and much else. 

I accept except economic disparity. 

Since my earliest childhood, I have opposed all this. No one taught me - it came from within.

I believe this.It can be by birth.

Again, from my earliest childhood I practised what I thought and felt.  This has moulded me in a different way. 

That is why, Today you are not just a women or a writer. you are Taslima Nasreen and world knows you.

My observation :

When I contemplated your life and read thought I did not find any mistakes. What was you thinking ,what was you doing ,it was so natural.I do not find that you did anything intentionally wrong.What you  felt you did.What you saw you wrote.You tried to find out all answer of your questions about religion but No body could convinced you.

You made your own ways and did not care what other says and what other thinks.Your life changed according to changing circumstances :

1.Your family life, where your mother could not gave proper
  answer.

2.Your mother could not convince you about Quran and Allah.

3.You routinely examined young girls had been raped during your

  practice as gynecologist .

4.you started writing on women'rights.

5.Your thinking was completely different and you were passionate

  about working.

6.You wrote four novels before Lajja ,in which a Hindu family is

  persecuted by Muslims, and this was beginning of your real

  life.

7.A community  thought you are being supported by non-Muslim

  fundamentalists and they hurt-ed you and still seeking for a
  chance.

8.A fatwa was issued to kill you by allegedly liberal 

  intelligentsia, and this incident changed your life and career.

9.To save and survive you self you had to shifted here and there   

  many country supported you but till today you feel like

  homeless.Your life is like a postcard without address.

10.Bangadesh govt. did not allow to enter in the country.

These all changing circumstantial empowered you and maid your thought more stronger than before.

Now you are known as a physician, a writer, a feminist, a human rights activist and a secular humanist.But unfortunately still you are Homeless Everywhere.

You Said:

I criticize Islam, I criticize Hinduism, I criticize Buddhism, as well as Christianity, Judaism and all other religion. Only Muslim radicals want me dead.

"I know I shall face more and more problems. But I shall continue my battle till my last breath,".

At last:

What happened and what is happening there is no fault of Taslima Nasreen.Every thing is quite  natural.I did not find any mistakes in you although I believe that conservative mind people are responsible for  this.But you should thankful to them who rejected you and said you are against the Muslim religion and being supported by Non-Muslim fundamentalists and they issued a fatwa to kill you.It was the turning point of your life.Now whole world is supporting you except some communities.

Now you got what you always wanted.All world wants to listen you and they accepted that you are fighting for human rights and you are a feminist, They awarded you but they do not want to keep you in their country for a long time.

Writing is your mission, and you believe in Tagore's "Jodi tor dak shune keu na ashe, tobe ekla cholo re". ( If no one comes to your support, plough a lonely furrow.) 

Undoubtedly ,Any obstacles could not stop you. 

you life is  like a river. A river never stop, always encounter stones and rocks in its path to the sea.When the river encounters stones and rocks, it always splashes the water on them and stop. But , it step back after splashes and water turn around them to continue its journey towards the seas.It seems there are no ending of your journey like a river.

Religion and Spiritualism

Why do human beings turn to god?Religion basically  pertains to god and his worship.

It is for one or all of these three reasons:

·        Fear and respect.

·        Expectations.

·        Devotion.

Fear and respect are two sides of the same coin. Fear begets respect and respect begets fear. Today the purity of respect does not exist.

When you talk of god you are talking about the most powerful entity in the universe.Therefore it is logical that a major portion of the respect which is professed is based on fear – perceived fear of acute and brutal reprisal.

So what really constitutes the genesis of  religion.Religion like culture is the product of a particular place ,at a particular time for a particular specific reason.It is therefore necessary to review, amend and re-position rituals and practices from time to time  to be in consonance with the present.

Hinduism is not a religion per se. It is just a philosophy or a way of life. It basically evolved around riverine  civilizations.

Christianity evolved from Judaism in and around Roman civilization.Judaism is probably the oldest religion and Islam the most nascent.

Everthing in life is simple. We complicate things and make it difficult for ourselves. What is difficult for us, we make it impossible for others thereby giving  rise to what is called a problem.Finally to seek a solution to the problem we seek divine grace and intervention. When this grace and intervention is not forthcoming in spite of our penances and obeisance we blame our fate and luck . 

We include all our near and dear ones also in this ambit.We never see ,accept or acknowledge anything wrong on our part.  As long as we are able to blame somebody we are satisfied.We cannot blame anybody for our own inadequate efforts or lack of enterprise. We must quickly recognize, accept and make good our mistakes.

We are all brought up with stories of appeasement to deities .  

we  are taught to look up to people who are more ritualistic than spiritual.  What is called as “mannat” is nothing but quid-pro-quo.This is either in cash or in kind or both depending on the levels of expectation and fulfillment.

All places of worship have their ratings based purely on their record of fulfilling expectations. People are very blatant and upfront with their demands and also very open and benovalent  when their demands are met.

Thus worshipping a diety in say Vaishnodevi or Tirupati is considered far superior to worshiping at the small shrine next to your house.Like business schools and other institutions temples also have ratings. There are also specialists among temples and deities – for health, marital problems etc.We also have VIP darshans – wherein some individuals are equal to god.

Religion which is supposed to unite us actually divides us.

Like a rodent which is constantly foraging for food we are also looking up to every possible temple  and deities in the single minded quest for that one miracle which will dramatically enhance our life.The fact that all this ventures have a very low success ratio is no detterent – we firmly believe that we will be that one chosen one.

In this we are no different from a person go to the casino or buys a lottery ticket.

It is high time we should realize that religion is spiritual and not ritual.It is not that we believe in miracles. We always actually expect miracles.

We are a nation of day dreamers.

Anna !!!!! Maharashtra : Children for SALE : Flat RATE - 20/-

Anna , Listen to me ... I would like to say to something...
Anna Hazare should first set his own house in order.Maharashtra suffers from child abuse , unemployment , alliteration, segment economy  among host of problems.
Every state in the country like Gujrat, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Bihar etc..name of few have over taken Maharashtra in term of growth rate. 
Anna Hazare should first address the problems at home before venturing out to the set the country right. 


                             Maharashtra still is exiting only in its past glory. 

See these picture and just think about future of India. A lot of "Aandolan" is being run on different - different issue. Who will fight for them . I know no one. who will visit in interior of India ? all social worker and leaders need air condition munch for dharna. 

July, 2005, I was campaigning  for Educate India movement in Mud , Mumbai. I was going here and there and convincing  villagers to educate their children.I was with my team and wondering for children who were not going to school. I saw a lot of children were playing near the sea beach . 

I went to them and asked ,why you are playing at school time ? Why did you not go to school ? They replied , Sir ji, " Hum khel nahi rahe hai balki hum hum raat ke khane ka intjam kar rahr hai . Apko jo kahna hai mere ghar walo se baat kijeye. I said , kya tum padna nahi chate ? They replid,hamari bhi bahut ichcha hoti hai mager hamare paas padne ke liye paise nahi hai." 

I went with them to their house and met their parent and asked them, Tum log apne bachchho ko school kyon nahi bhejte. Ye bachche sara din samundar kinare kyo khelte rahte hai. Listen what they replied, sir ji , they were not playing on the sand , they were collecting pieces of small fishes. I told them , but there were no any pieces of fishes on the sand. They said , sir ji ,you can not see because pieces of fish are mixes in the sand. Our children work whole day and they separate small small thing from sand , after that we mix this pieces with grass and make Roti then we eat. They said me , we are not able to provide food to our children, then how can we send them school ? 

I tried to explain them that government is running many scheme for education for poor children , you need not  to pay school fees even we will provide note books also.I told them education is their right. you will have to send them school ,otherwise action will be taken and you will be punished.They started saying that we are also ready to go the jail, at least we will get food for survive. But what about your children ,I asked them, they replied that they know how to work, Aap tention mat lo.

I started to explain them, and strictly said , I do not want to know anything. we will arrange education for your children. You will have to send them to school . They said angrily , if our children will not work how can we survive, at least they earn Rs.20 /- per day by sealing the pieces of fishes . If you are not ready to understand , We can give you our children but you will have to pay Rs.20/- per day , per head to us. If you are ready to pay , We can handover our children to you right now. You can go any where with our children. we will not ask you a single question. I had no answer.

To,

Anna , Anna Team and Aam Janta and Followers.....

I ask, all of you, who has participated in all DHARNA, are you ready to help these children only for one day.They need us and  we know that we will never organised for welfare of these poor children. 

Our social worker, and only some leaders are not responsible for backwardness, corruption and unemployment in India . We all are also responsible. We have no mercy . We have no emotion . We are showing off. We are fabricated.We organised only for our personal interest . If you are really keen to serve India, if we have courage, come and see real face of India .
