Synopsis

My name is Suranjan. You dont recognize me? You wrote a novel about me. It was called Lajja. One day in Calcutta, Taslima suddenly finds herself face to face with Suranjan, the principal character from her controversial novel Lajja. Persecuted in their native Bangladesh, Suranjan and his family have, like Taslima, moved to the city across the border. But is life for a Hindu family from an Islamic nation any better in a country where a majority of the population happens to be Hindu? Leading poor, unmoored lives, exploited and frustrated at every step of the way, and always carrying with them the memories of a scarred communal history, Suranjan and so many others like him seem to lead incomplete lives in their so-called safe haven. Shameless, the explosive sequel to Lajja, is an uncompromising, heart-breaking look at ordinary peoples lives in our troubled times.
