    Feminist Dissent Binary Framings, Islam and Struggle for Women’s Empowerment in Bangladesh Sohela Nazneen* Address *Correspondence: [[email protected]] Abstract In this paper, I investigate how binary framings of women’s identity have influenced struggles for women’s rights and the interpretations of the relationship between Islam and women’s empowerment in Bangladesh. These binary framings position women at opposite ends by dividing them between ‘Muslim/religious/moral/authentic/traditional’ or ‘Bengali/ secular/immoral/Westernised/ modern’. I trace the particular genealogies of these binary constructs which emerged during specific historical junctures and are influenced by the shifts in regional and international Peer review: This article politics. Drawing on primary research with women in religious political has been subject to a double blind peer review parties and women’s movement actors and newspaper reports, I provide process an account of how binary framings have been used by the Islamist actors and the counter framings used by the feminists to make claims over the state.

  • A Close Study of Taslima Nasrin's Lajja
    International Journal on Studies in English Language and Literature (IJSELL) Volume 4, Issue 1, January 2016, PP 93-99 ISSN 2347-3126 (Print) & ISSN 2347-3134 (Online) www.arcjournals.org Problematic of Identity: A Close Study of Taslima Nasrin’s Lajja Navya Chandran Department of English (Mphil Student) Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit, Kalady [email protected] Abstract: Taslima Nasrin is hailed as one of the most powerful voices in the literary canon of Bangladeshi English Literature and her epoch making work Lajja is rightly regarded as a perfect example of „gendered subaltern narrative‟. In the novel, she presents a cross – section of Bangladeshi society after twenty years of its separation from Indian sub – continent, caught up in the trauma of post colonial nation building and identity consciousness. The complex sense of Bangladeshi nationalism, which is inextricably linked to its religious identity, is the pivot on which Lajja turns. The immediate backdrop of the novel is the demolition of Babri Masjid, the sixteenth century religious edifice situated in India that inflicted a series of barbaric tyranny in Bangladesh against the minority Hindus who were soon labelled as the “Other”. The focus of Nasrin‟s novel is limited to Dutta family, a metaphor for the minority Hindu population in Bangladesh, who were forcefully classified as the enemy and outsider clan during the time of crisis. Sukumar Dutta, the head of the family, who identifies himself as an atheist, communist, male Bangladeshi is forcefully classified as a Hindu under binary logic. There is a politicisation of his identity when there is a dissonance between how an individual want to define him and where social agents wants to place him.

  • Policing Literature and the Case of Taslima Nasrin
    Inter-Asia Cultural Studies, Volume 6, Number 3, 2005 Under the gaze of the state: policing literature and the case of Taslima Nasrin Manmay ZAFAR TaylorRIAC116986.sgm10.1080/14649370500170035Inter-Asia1464-9373Original200563000000SeptemberManmayZafarmanmay.zafar@wadham.oxford.ac.uk and& Article Francis Cultural Print/1469-8447Francis Group 2005 LtdStudies: Ltd MovementsOnline ABSTRACT This article situates Taslima Nasrin, the controversial writer from Bangladesh, in a particular political and religious moment in the history of Bangladesh, to analyse the difficult rela- tionship the postcolonial state shares with a writer whose work deliberately unsettles the issues of minority and of women and/in religion. The complex mosaic of Nasrin’s work, comprising as varied genres as newspaper columns, poetry and popular novels, has engendered, in the last ten years, unprecedented responses both for and against her writing. This has brought the issue of literature and its uneasy negotiation with state politics to the forefront of national debate. Despised by Islamists and fundamentalists, equally loved and loathed by the reading public, considered with caution by secular intelligentsia and fellow feminists, and ultimately banned by the state, Nasrin is a unique case in point. Her work, written under the gaze of the state defying the fundamentalist fatwa demanding her death, hence invites discussions on state censorship invoked using religious sensibility as a marker of literary judgement and the associated perils of women writing on women in a postcolony like Bang- ladesh. KEYWORDS: Bangladesh, Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), censorship, fatwa, freedom of expression, Islamic fundamentalism, postcolonial state, religious sensibility, secularism, Taslima Nasrin, Western media This article focuses on the ways the concepts of literature and literary freedom are defined by different entities such as the state, reading communities, the press and the media, and the writer herself.

  • A Call for a New Planetary Humanism a Ca
    A Call for a New Planetary Humanism A Call for a New Planetar y I Humanism The following document was drafted by FREE INQUIRY Editor-in- Preamble Chief Paul Kurtz, drafter of Humanist Manifesto II (1973), A Secular Humanist Declaration (1980), and A Declaration of Interdependence: A New Global Ethics (1988). umanism is an ethical, scientific, and philo- sophical outlook that has changed the world. Its heritage traces back to the philos o phers and po ets of ancient Greece and Rome, Confu cian Chi na, and the Carvaka movement in classical India. Humanist artists, writers, scien tists, and Hthinkers have been shaping the modern era for over half a millennium. Indeed, humanism and modernism have often seemed syn on y mous; for humanist ideas and values express a renewed confidence in the pow er of human beings to solve their own problems and conquer uncharted frontiers. Modern humanism came to fruition during the Renaissance. It led to the development of modern science. During the Enlightenment it germinated new ideals of social justice and inspired the democratic revo lu tions of our time. Humanism has helped frame a new ethical out- look emphasizing the values of freedom and happiness and the virtues of universal human rights. The signers of this Manifesto believe that humanism has much to offer humanity as we face the problems of the twenty-first century and the new millennium beyond. Many of the old ideas and traditions that humankind has inherited are no longer relevant to current realities and future oppor- tunities. We need fresh thinking if we are to cope with the global society that is now emerging, and fresh thinking is the hallmark of humanism.

  • Identity and Cultural Conflicts in Taslima Nasrin's Novel 'Lajja'
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE, LITERATURE Int.J.Eng.Lang.Lit & Trans.Studies Vol.2.Issue. 3.2015 (July-Sep) AND TRANSLATION STUDIES (IJELR) A QUARTERLY, INDEXED, REFEREED AND PEER REVIEWED OPEN ACCESS INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL http://www.ijelr.in KY PUBLICATIONS RESEARCH ARTICLE Vol.2. Issue 3., 2015 (July-Sept.) IDENTITY AND CULTURAL CONFLICTS IN TASLIMA NASRIN’S NOVEL ‘LAJJA’ G. NAGESWARA RAO Asst. Professor of English Vignan University Vadlamudi, Guntur. A. P. India ABSTRACT Taslima Nasrin was born on 25th August 1962, in Mymensingh, Bangladesh to orthodox parents. In 1980s she came to limelight as a poet, columnist, and strong feminist. She is a Bengali, Bangladeshi ex-doctor turned author who has been living in exile since 1994. She works to build support for secular humanism, freedom of thought, equality for women, and human rights by publishing, lecturing, and campaigning. When Taslima got published the book Lajja, she earned the wrath of Islamic fundamentalists and clergy. Her book was banned in her country and a Fatwa (religious ostracization) was issued against her. Further, she had to seek political asylum in France to save her life. Taslima was extremely bold; she remained untrammeled by all these and kept writing on similar lines. It is not just because she is intrepid; it is her uncanny knack of storytelling and an extremely limpid writing style that make her extremely popular among the erudite circle. This paper aims to assess the destruction caused by religious extremists in Bangladesh when Babri Masjid was demolished by Hindu Kar Sevaks in India. This paper also discusses the reasons why the demolition of temples and abducting and raping of Hindu women were happened at that time of riots.

It’s liberating to recognize that supernatural beings are human creations … that there’s no such thing as “spirit” … that people are undesigned, unintended, and responsible for themselves. But what’s next? Atheism and agnosticism are silent on larger questions of values and meaning. If Meaning in life is not ordained from on high, what small-m meanings can we work out among ourselves? If eternal life is an illusion, how can we make the most of our only lives? As social beings sharing a godless world, how should we coexist? For the questions that remain unanswered after we’ve cleared our minds of gods and souls and spirits, many atheists, agnostics, skeptics, and freethinkers turn to secular humanism. Secular. “Pertaining to the world or things not spiritual or sacred.” Humanism. “Any system of thought or action concerned with the interests or ideals of people … the intellectual and cultural movement … characterized by an emphasis on human interests rather than … religion.” — Webster’s Dictionary Secular humanism is a comprehensive, nonreligious life stance incorporating: A naturalistic philosophy A cosmic outlook rooted in science, and A consequentialist ethical system in which acts are judged not by their conformance to preselected norms but by their consequences for men and women in the world.

Author: Editor Volume: 5 Issue: 18 Date: 1998-10-30 Keywords: Fatwas, Islam, Salman Rushdie, Taslima Nasrin, Terrorism Many mass media sources have noted that fatwas--edicts from an Islamic religious authority calling for someone's death--have been issued against the United Kingdom's Salman Rushdie and Bangladesh's Taslima Nasrin. The fatwas have been issued for similar reasons according to these media sources. Rushdie and Nasrin are accused of employing words judged by religious authorities to be offensive, profane, and irreverent. The common media storyline is that people should be free to communicate their opinion with words. Those who seek to stop the expression of opinion through violence or its threat--to maintain or avoid the recreation of the world--are terrorists.
