'Even in the most uneventful of our lives, we are called upon to choose our battles.' I love this book and this quote is hands down my favourite quote of all times.
Just gone through the book a 3rd time, it's freshness has kept it my bedside. Every single word is like a note of music, every expression carrying with it a sea of emotions. Thank you for giving me something to think about.
She is acutuly right.such an indomitablely free spirit.lots of respect for you mam from someone who wants to challenge society but is a clipped winged.
Am reading the book now and it is such a rewarding experience. I am not a wordsmith like the author, so I cannot express fully what I am feeling. Just suffice to say that we are lucky to have a brave , original, fresh and deeply insightful author like her in our midst. Your writing wakes me up and enriches my experience of life. Eagerly waiting for your next .
Esp when she gives the account of Anjum like character, is very fine and commendable attempt. In addition to it, she gives many recent accounts of contemporary India where some unimaginable happenings are around us.
She sure is a terrific writer. But for those of you who think that she only writes novels, you're in for a treat! She has written and acted in a movie called "In which Annie Gives It Those Ones" back in 1989! It's a must watch for all her fans ❤️
In Kashmir when we wake up and say ‘Good Morning’ what we really mean is ‘Good Mourning’ really its sarcastic people lives in our country they give they slogans of nationalism ,but on the other hand they dislike kasmiri peoples are pretending of protector even we know that they just want to remove their sustainbiilty
Totally agree Arundhati Maam, India is still colonised, the world misreferences it sadly, thankyou for referencing about the Sikh genocide Delhi, Punjab, though official figure was 1 a minute to 3000 however I know as a Sikh also following human rights, I am aware, the actual figure was insane, estimated overall we would say half to .7 million Sikhs were cleansed. Kashmir is enduring very much right now... it is almost criminal that we are safely sat back whilst it occurs. The current narrative of India, its State sponsored media is non stop indoctrinating the Khalistan concoction, invoking hate divide against Sikhs. Where are we heading Arundhati, ???? surely a 2nd cleansing , genocide of Sikhs in this age of communication, cannot be, surely it cannot be allowed. ? Surely that applies to Kashmir too.. else who are we... all.
I am an Indian. A society which silences its authors is going into wrong direction. The fact that she is giving her opnions without getting killed is the beauty of democractic India. Try to criticize Islam like Taslima Nasreen from Bangladesh, then you knows what happens. She was hunted down by extremist islamic groups in Bangladesh and India where she took refuge.
A statue of her be erected at 10 janpath, new delhi in her life time like that of mayawati as a symbol of her avant garde role in rooting out hindus, hinduism and hindi from the lands of india, remarkably by making the hindus themselves to do so. She will sure be awarded 'The Best Friend Roy medal 'like putin by China
the way you have wriiten your words makes you no different than a radical person or either i truly beileve you are pseudo secular ahem ahem liberandus..
American British Canadian EU Nations NGO's are up in arms against Asian African, Nations Russia, China but in SILENCE when it comes to the brutal occupation of the indigenous peoples of Palestine.
We are lucky, we were born, grew and living when she is writing, speaking out. A true writer and humanitarian.
And terror sypathiser
yeeeeees

Historically, Cowardice is not an uncommon thing amongst the intelligentsia.-Roy.
A riveting Novel .. Strongly Voicing the case of hapless transgenders their miseries, tormenting afflictions and ruthless deprivation...
I just am in love with AR....

arundhati roy A realistic woman I respect her. His every word is life-oriented.

To trace it in more transient moments , happiness the ability to recognise
Fish on the top fish on the bottom beautiful poet words
Thanks Arundhatti for exposing the hypocrisy of Indian system and Gandhi ,and highlight ing Ambedkar for his role as a Messiah of Marginalized

Media reacts in India. In Europe, Xenophobia and racism are rising with nationalist parties. Trump is a faschist.
Imperialism is on going
Why there are stereotypes on Motherhood in India or in the whole world

I find it frightening when there is no chaos. Feministic . . Or Indian
👌

Hindi isn't all of India. Calm down

Why doesn't she take her case to UN Human Rights Council if she cares so much? And why are those American and European NGOs so quiet?
Do you have any idea about how people are tortured by the Indian government in the name of state security and nationalism....

These are intellectual putna and shurpnkhan like rakshashis
