Taslima Nasrin is known for her powerful writings on women s rights and unflinching criticism of religious fundamentalism. It s due to her defying voice Split was banned by both Left Front Government in West Bengal and Bangladesh Government in 2003. While the West Bengal Government lifted the injunction on the ruling of an order by the Calcutta High Court in 2005, Taslima was eventually driven out of Kolkata and she was forced to edit out passages from the book. On top of that, approximately a fourmillion dollar defamation lawsuit was filed against her by eminent novelists in Bangladesh and West Bengal after the publication of this book. Bold and evocative Split opens a window to the life, time and works of one of the bravest writers of our times.
