Humayun Azad's book

Recently, I had an opportunity to read his novel "Pak Sar Zamin Sad Bad". Me as a layman in literature and a moderate Muslim had mixed reaction in my mind. I could not help asking myself again and again as to what on earth inspired him, a Dhaka University teacher, ideal and icon of many students, to write a novel like this. What could have motivated him to write such a story and how could a vernacular daily with wide circulation publish it? May be my values are old styled, but I could not get an answer for myself.

However, now that the dust has settled down and lot of water has flown down the rivers of Bangladesh, I would dare make some comments with due respect and regard to the writer. I feel that if he had to write a story like this he should have used a pseudonym.
