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

Jan 5, 2011 - - Fuck you again dumb cunt - go ahead, like I said, flag me. After all, I'm just a feeble minded patriot grateful for the freedoms India provides me.The bitch Arundhati and her unquestioning, worthless sheep-cunt followers deserved to be shot dead, and their homes burned or bombed.It's that simple - where is the contradiction to my words?She deserves to die - and one of these days someone will oblige me.I just sit back and wait for it to happen.Now fuck off and die, cunt!

Jan 5, 2011 - Hypocritical little hussey-cunt!Lives in a bungalow worth several crores in Chanakyapuri in Delhi, encroaches and illegally builds another house on land in a national park, drinks like a fish with her "Marxist" buddies, sleeps around with anything that moves (worse than the most depraved GB Road randi), enjoys free security from the Central govt at taxpayer expense- and has the shameless gall to preach the merits of the "language of justice" behind socialism! LOL!What a cunt! Shoot her dead!

Mar 8, 2011 - a large percent of people are poor because we are not really using democratic principles. IT works. Those that made it neeed to have compassion and need to pull the others that are not so forunate..

Mar 17, 2011 - There are some violent people commenting on Roy, is this violent spirit a part of everyday life in India? You kill, bomb, burn down the homes of people who you disagree with? If so, then no wonder there are so many poor people there. Europeans have infected Indians with racism and classism, it is so evident in many who come to the US. They bleach their skin, and hate anyone who is not light complected, and they disdain poor people to the point of sadness. Europe did harm to Indians.

Apr 22, 2011 - ALL THOSE PICKED UP LINES FROM MARXISM AND STALINISM. SHE HAS NO SOLUTION BUT JUST CRITICISM. SHE IS SO CONFUSED, SOMETHING WHICH WASNT THERE IN HER WRITINGS BUT QUITE EXPLICIT HERE.

Apr 22, 2011 - Democracy , or western style democracy, does not work in other places, especially a place like India where the poor outnumber the rich and middle class. Even among the middle class, educated men with Masters degrees are driving taxis. Without job opportunities, democracy fails. It works here in the U.S. and man with a decent education can find a suitable job. I think that is the point made by Roy. I, for one, will not dismiss her as a lunatic. There is reason and logic in her words

Jun 17, 2011 - @1987naren Very good points made here. One could pose the question to the average Indian: given empirical facts as they are, would he that India revert to the planned economy of the post-independence decades and the swollen red tape-Raj of the near past? Roy truly strikes one as an out-of-touch elitist...

Jul 12, 2011 - You are absolutely right!! You know God Krishna is dark-skinned. But we do not want to see him so!!
AboRasul Says:
Jul 22, 2011 - @1987naren We seem to be on the same page here."Do you really think she could be called a journalist?"No, I do not."And if you compare the poverty rates for 2011 and 1991, we find that they have actually decreased."I am in perfect agreement; I have seen those numbers myself. For a (more or less) worldwide, bird's eye account of the recent achievements in industrial progress and quality of life (within a capitalist framework) see The Rational Optimist by Matt Ridley.

Sep 5, 2011 - I have sympathy for the poor mothers, the poor children, but none for the fathers.Why is it my fault that they give birth to children they can't feed.Why is it my fault that they send their kids to work, instead of to schoolWhy is it my fault that the fathers in these families spend their day drinking and not working?

MrTerminator9999999 Says:
Jan 26, 2012 - she is not optimistic. she is a pervert. she had a bad childhood, suffering, starvation etc., it is bound to take effect on her personality. the fame she got by her book gave her the power to take it out on the world, so here she is doing the work of a traitor. her views only favor the interests of enemies of India.

Jan 4, 2011 - Speaking to a disgusting ignorant fascist like yourself is a waste of time. Time is the only thing that will rid us the likes of you. You are not tolerant and are obviously far from secular. You care nothing for human rights and you care nothing for long term world peace. Patriotism is for the feeble minded. Calling me gross names and calling for the death of Roy shows EVERYONE your intelligence and the validity of your argument. Your posts are a mess of contradictions.
