Arundhati Roy

Went to a discussion on Arundhati Roy's new book today. And it really felt good to see another one of my tribe, "Frustrated Indian" for the uninitiated.
The author, who has come under severe criticism over the past for her anti-establishment political views, is indeed a fellow Indian who is frustrated by the way this country has been picking itself from where the Britishers left. The way it treats its own. The tribals, minorities and people who have been marginalised by any cause. The frustration was also evident as she has gone on to ask time and again why the establishment has been trying hard to cover up on the corporate mess.
She is trying to make her point strongly and she has been taken by the Indian middle class with some respect. Which is the reason that the establishment is so afraid of taking her on. The questions raised by her are noteworthy and do require an answer. Maybe the government will take note and start treating such questions from the members of civil society with some respect.
