Armed with a fatwa from their ideologues, the mob demanded Taslima Nasrin leave the city immediately. While the Kolkata Police allegedly stood watching, mere dumb witnesses to such hooliganism, a morally, intellectually and politically bankrupt Left Front government, tottering under the strain of their thirty-year-old backward-looking rule, decided to ban her book and drive her out of Kolkata, a city she has always considered her second home. Dark, provocative and, at times, surreal, Exile is a moving and shocking chronicle of Taslima Nasrins struggles in India over a period of five months, set against a rising tide of fundamentalism and intolerance that will resonate powerfully with the present sociopolitical scenario.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRH INDIA LOCAL PRINT","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46296445091991,"sku":"9780143429135","price":325.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780143429135.webp?v=1769304758","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/exile-9780143429135","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
