# Taslima Nasrin to Return to Kolkata After 18-Year Exile
Taslima Nasrin, a Bangladesh-born author who has been living in exile, is returning to Kolkata after an absence of 18 years. The visit marks her first return to the city since she was forced to leave in November 2007 following public protests against her work.
Nasrin will participate in a literary event during her visit to Kolkata, which she has referred to as her home. The occasion includes a cultural program being organized in her honor.
The author's departure in 2007 was prompted by significant public backlash, leading to her extended period outside the region. Her return represents a notable moment for the writer, who has expressed joy at coming back after nearly two decades away.
