Lajja
''Lajja'' (Bengali: লজ্জা ''Lôjja'') (''Shame'') is a novel in Bengali by Taslima Nasrin, a writer of Bangladesh. The word ''lajja/lôjja'' means "shame" in Bengali and many other Indo-Aryan languages. The book was first published in 1993 in Bengali and was subsequently banned in Bangladesh.〔(Bangladesh Seeks Writer, Charging She Insults Islam ), ''New York Times'', June 8, 1994.〕〔(Book Review ), ''New York Times'', August 28, 1994.〕 It nonetheless sold 50,000 copies in the six months after its publication,〔(ENCOUNTERS; Crossing Cultures: The Complex Life of a Man of All Things ) ''New York Times'', March 13, 1994.〕 though Taslima fled her native Bangladesh after alleged death threats from Islamic groups.〔(Censorship by Death ) ''New York Times'', July 6, 1994.〕
Nasrin dedicated the book "to the people of the Indian subcontinent," beginning the text with the words, "let another name for religion be humanism." The novel is preceded by a preface and a chronology of events.
== Synopsis ==
''Lajja'' is a response of Taslima Nasrin to anti-Hindu riots that erupted in parts of Bangladesh, soon after the demolition of Babri Masjid in India on 6 December 1992. The book subtly indicates that communal feelings were on the rise, the Hindu minority of Bangladesh was not fairly treated, and secularism was under shadow.
