Description:
Dismissive of democracy, the author perhaps supports the Maoist struggle.Significantly the more so, by her using the simile 'MINORITY vs MAJORITY' saying, "What the Muslims were to the BJP, the Maoists are to the Congress" !==========Karan Thapar : Hello and welcome to Devil's Advocate. In her latest series of essays, Arundhati Roy sounds deeply dismissive of the Indian democracy and perhaps supportive of the Maoist struggle. Why does she take these positions? That's the key issue I shall explore today with Arundhati Roy.Let's start with your cynical view of Indian democracy. In your essays, you say the 'Beacon is fading,' you say it's being hollowed out and emptied of meaning, you say that Indian democracy no longer can be relied upon to deliver the justice and stability we dreamt it would. Why have you come to this conclusion?http://ibnlive.in.com/news/indian-democracy-in-a-state-of-emergency/103928-3.html

Dec 11, 2011 - what she said is absolutly true..we are just closing our eyes towards the truth.instead of finding fault on her statements ,just think and analyse the statements what she said using a free mind without any biased view, then everyone will join her..i admire her for being so sincere and bold to speak out the truth.. its a reality that indian democracy is a publicity stunt supported by indian media. what kind of democratic rights do have poor people in india..?

Apr 23, 2012 - oh my god, you have no idea what you are talking about.
girishgnair Says:
Apr 23, 2012 - I think I do...
amithbn Says:
Apr 23, 2012 - It would have been reasonable to say that you don't agree with her, but having said she doesn't know what she's talking about makes it very clear that you know about her or her writings enough.
girishgnair Says:
Apr 23, 2012 - sorry I was not clear in my former statement...but she has no idea in hell what she is talking about when she is supporting the maoist movement in India...I am not sure why people like her are being given importance when dealing with such issues....
amithbn Says:
Apr 23, 2012 - she is not supporting the Maoist movement. She is sympathizing the Moaist movement along with a bandwidth of resistance movements against the Indian state that has subject these people to as she calls firstly to structural violence and secondly with actual violence in an attempt to hand over land to the mining corporations and so on.
amithbn Says:
Apr 23, 2012 - I am not sure of others, but I like her writings because they give a fresh opinion as opposed to the ones in our media which is rather mundane. And her arguments many times are clever.
girishgnair Says:
Apr 23, 2012 - I can't argue when you think that she is not supporting the Maoist movement. And also the fact that she thinks democracy does not work...
amithbn Says:
Apr 23, 2012 - I am sorry, you are mistaken. She has categorically said in another interview with Thapar that she doesn't believe a movement that only believes in violence will ultimately be able to establish a peaceful democracy. She does not ideologically support Moaists but she sympathizes a whole bandwidth of resistance movements, peaceful and violent. Violent because the state is guilty of brutal violence.The security forces indulging in strategic hamletting.You can't preach morality to the victims of war
amithbn Says:
Apr 23, 2012 - If you see the whole video, she clearly says she supports democracy but the collusion of free market with democracy has hollowed out the institutions of democracy. Isn't it true? The corporate media now would never criticize say the corporates that are funding them or that own them. Mining corps. now own media houses that manipulate public opinion. Isn't it democracy undermined?
