In Search of History through Challenged Works

The interconnectedness between different politics and writings is a fact known by many but a fact often unaddressed. According to Oscar Wilde ¿it is what you read when you don¿t have to that determines what you will be when you can¿t help it¿. In a scenario where others determine what you read, and if we interpret what Wild has said in this context, the real politics of controlling exerted through writers and narration is evident. This text gives insights into the workings of such politics and the other side of censorship and dissident writings through the detailed study of Lajja written by Taslima Nazrin as a new voice that rewrites the religious history of the nation.
