I studied in a medical college and qualified myself as a medical graduate.

I was born in a middle class Muslim family, in a small town called Myonenningh in a northern part of Bangladesh in 1962. My father is a qualified physician; my mother is a housewife. I have two elder brothers and one younger sister. All of them received a liberal education in schools and colleges.

When I write, I don't allow the fear of consequences to interfere with the writing process. I have in the past paid for my commitment to the truth and the way I live my life. I am prepared to pay more if I have to.

I don't believe in God. The religion mongers segregate women from the human race, I too am divided, I too am defrauded of my human rights.

I write against the religion because if women want to live like human beings, they will have to live outside the religion and Islamic law

The focus of my research is how secular movements originated in West Asian countries and subsequently changed to pan-Islamic movements. The role of Western countries in this aspect is also a part of the research.
