Why Taslima Nasreen's Kolkata return is a powder keg for Bengal politics

Taslima Nasreen's return to Kolkata after two decades of exile has ignited fierce political debate, with both Trinamool Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party expressing strong views. Nasreen, who left India due to threats over her controversial writings, is now back to participate in an anti-fundamentalism literary event. This comeback is not just a personal affair but a significant moment that fuels discussions on free speech and its clash with religious sentiments in West Bengal, highlighting the state's complex political landscape.
