Lajja is a very true account of life as it is for Hindus in Bangladesh. The author has peppered her account with countless factual pieces of evidence.
This no flight of fancy - its sadly the reality for millions of Hindus in Bangladesh and Pakistan. There are newspaper reports, court reports and much more.
The reasons mullas hated it and banned it in pro-muslim countries is because it exposes their hypocrisy of islam being a religion of peace. It exposes the hypocrisy of muslims asking for special rights in non-muslim countries, yet denying the same rights to non-mumslims in muslim majority countries.
News reports coming through even now confirm her story. The way she has been treated by mulsims in India also confirms her basic write up that women in Islamic countries suffer through cultural, social and religious neglect. Women in islam are kept behind veils so as to hide their tears. I have read her other books - very real and very true to life.
