I am not scared of anyone. I will write and publish my books.

Nature says women are human beings, men have made religions to deny it. Nature says women are human beings, men cry out no!

I am an atheist. I do not believe in prayers, I believe in work. And my work is that of an author. My pen is my weapon.

The focus of my research is how secular movements originated in West Asian countries and subsequently changed to pan-Islamic movements. The role of Western countries in this aspect is also a part of the research.

Sheikh Hasina's government is one of the best Bangladesh has ever had. She is taking action against fundamentalists. But even she refused to let me return. I don't think I can ever return home.

All I ever want is to return to either Bangladesh, my motherland, or India, my adopted home.

I have had fatwas issued against me, some three in Bangladesh and another five in India. I will not be cowed by these threats and shall fight for my rights.
