Nasreen Returns to Kolkata After 19 Years of Exile

Taslima Nasreen is a writer from Bangladesh who had to leave Kolkata in 2007 because people were upset about her book.

She lived abroad for almost 20 years.

Now she is back in Kolkata for a special event on August 1.

She feels happy but also sad because she missed the city.

She wants to remind everyone that people should be able to speak freely and that governments should protect writers even if they disagree with them.
