[Reader-list] ARUNDHATI - PUBLICITY HUNGER

[TaraPrakash]

Even if she did make some protest when the blood bath was on its peak, you 
wouldn't know. She wasn't prominent then, I believe.
Except her sharing stage with that murderer SASG she has stuck to her 
principles. She was courageous enough to take on the Muslim extremists when 
they were after Taslima Nasreen when the government was pandering to those 
extremists. The risk she took could be very expensive but she didn't care. 
You must give that to her.
