"Why Taslima is so controversial?"

This refers to the letter of Ms Sharin Shajahan Naomi, Department of Law, DU, published on December 4. I agree with Ms Naomi that the so-called intellectuals should equally be condemned and ignored for publishing their explicit sexual experiences in the name of "modernism" and "progressivism" and truly their masks should be unveiled before the millions who look upon the intellectuals as their idols.

I do not believe that a person's sexual experiences with an array of intellectuals, where both the parties were engaged in the act, should be made public.

My point is Ms Taslima was an adult and she knew what she was doing at that period of time and now coming to public with that stuff is shocking and self contradictory.

I wonder how could some one like her claim to fight for or represent the women of the country.

I hope that answers your question.
