Lajja - Taslima Nasreen Hy I bought the book with much anticipation as it was highly controversial and the author Taslima Nasrin was forced to go into hiding after the publication of the book. The book is based on the plight of Hindu minorities in Bangladesh.
There is not much in terms of the story but too much of factual data and inputs. It seems more like a non-fiction book with all the statistics and data given in the book. The pace of the story is slow. You are moved by the atrocities heaped on the minorities and still their reluctance to leave the country which they have considered as their motherland all this time. I really didn't enjoy the book because of the slow pace of the story which is almost sluggish.
