	Taslima Nasreen \| DesPardes.com
		There is no question about the bravery of Taslima Nasreen--a government anesthesiologist and the daughter of a county physician father and a devoutly religious mother, who was suddenly thrust into the spotlight upon the angry response of Islamic militants to her feminist writings.
		Nasreen's writings express her thoughts on religion, feminism, and sexuality clearly--issues that are not often expressed in the open in the traditional Muslim society of Bangladesh.
		Talking to journalists on a visit to India, Taslima Nasreen said she was bored of living in the West for over a decade and would like to settle down permanently in Calcutta, the centre of India's Bengali community.
