Book Review | Lajja
It would have made more sense if the omniscient narrator herself had shared the information and arguments directly instead of giving her characters hard-disk memories. Orang-orang Hindu di sana mengalami penyiksaan dari saudara sebangsa mereka yang muslim.
One of the most serious reads I have read till date. They can kill anyone in the name of God. Ia memotret dan merekam tragedi itu ke dalam novelnya dengan tokoh utama Sudhamoy dan Suranjan, anak beranak dari sebuah keluarga Hindu nasionalis yang berulangkali harus mengalami perlakuan diskriminasi di tanah airnya sendiri. Evidently a protest novel, Nasrin situates it in the context of religious fanaticism that reared its ugly head in Bangladesh in the wake of the demolition of Babri Masjid in India in The novelist demonstrates how the abduction of Hindu girls has been common in Bangladesh and how the hooligans do not have any kind of fear.
To quote from the text:.

Mengisahkan tentang tragedi akibat fanatisme agama di Bangladesh. I am dying of pain. Another problem is that this incidences are being mentally listed by characters in their mind and orally recited to each-other, as if they have crammed all this information like news channels reporters do.

A riot is not an act of nature nor is it an accident.
Our official history removes such gruesome details for suit their political agenda. Flying the flag of religion has always proved the easiest way to crush to nothingness human beings as well as the spirit of humanity.
Lajja: Shame
Sep 24, Veena rated it liked it Shelves: The demolition has repercussions in Bangladesh. And that goes for Bangladeshi spades too – again questioning the communal party who was causing riots and secular ruling party which had maintained silence.
What begins as a slow paced story spirals into a heartbraking account once the violence hits the protagonist and his family. You want to cling to that hope that, no matter what the family has gone through, Maya will return and “everything will be all right.
Lajja is a honest book and tells a heart-wrenching story of a family beaten up, but unwilling to give up. It was two years then since the Babri Masjid had been demolished, but I hadn’t known of any connection between the demolition and the book. It is a minor thing but it keeps occurring again and again.
