Arundhati Roy Talks about the Tragedy in Mumbai

[geekamails]

She doesnt know the reality and just speaking nonsense.

[geekamails]

She is a bitch. She wants to save terrorists.

[FistFuckingJesus]

I respect her as a writer. But didn't it turn out the attack was done by Pakistani Jihadists? So much for her blaming India's social injustice and poverty, then. 

[Harbringe]

To hate Arundhati Roy is to hate what you see in the mirror ,may God have mercy on your soul

[abhisheksuraj]

Fuck this bitch that utters only poison against India...

[parinonly]

how this moron arundhati is allowed to comment is beyond me? she just wants to come up with an opinion that no one has ever thought of and shockingly the media gives this stupid woman attention. will definitely make a good conspiracy theorist...ridiculous!

[MrEventhorizon]

Fuck the slut...an absolute cunt..a shame of bengal...fuck u biatchhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... i so much wanna trash her....

[ironladyarundhati]

@MrEventhorizon You are just another frustrated unknown skunk

[MrEventhorizon]

@ironladyarundhati And u are another mothafukin porky piece of worthless pig shit. Go and suck ur talibani half dicks..u jackass.

[ironladyarundhati]

@MrEventhorizon lol Why so frustrated slum dog?

[ironladyarundhati]

@MrEventhorizon Your Home Minister becomes racist by passing comments against migrants from two largest populated States of India. This is just like telling Mexicans to go away from the U.S. But at least Mexicans are foreigners. How dare this so called Harvard educated guy racially profiles his own country men? Tell Nehru family also, to get out from Delhi. If you are from UP and Bihar, please get out. Another example of State Terrorism.

[karunank1]

useless Arundirty bitch. Less said about the better.

[ironladyarundhati]

@karunank1 Useless is your mother from whose pussy you came out crying with your ugly butt head protruding out like a roller coaster ride.

[karunank1]

@ironladyarundhati bohohohooo u r drunk on my jizz nigger.

[ironladyarundhati]

@karunank1 Not a pervert mallu nigger like you. lol

[karunank1]

@ironladyarundhati which means YES nigger. pwned. go and comprehend English nigger LMAO

[bissousmosh]

Arundhati go to the dalits and maoists and live with them in the forests.. we are better off that way!

[enshaman]

Wow where does one start. We have had a Muslim billionaire software entrepreneur, cricket team captain, a head of the nuclear program and president, wildly popular Bollywood stars and Muslims in many many other positions of power and prestige.

Muslims falling behind Hindus is a result of their cultural choices.  Pakistan and Bangladesh are falling behind India as well. No more time or patience to weep for Muslims. There are many other hard problems to solve.

[karankyb]

she talks about india not being a democracy... well if india wasnt a democracy thn tell me how you are still alive while talking so much crap about the current government... try going this in...lets say china and see what happens

[Knuxes]

Ur way off. Name a free-market that's ever existed? There's rackets, not markets. Ur using semantics & a fallacy. You throw around terms like democracy & socialism as western propaganda. The kibbutz in Israel have prospered, no? Barcelona during the Spanish civil war was doing just fine until those fascists & Soviet-backed commies teamed-up to destroy it. The best societies are in Scandinavia which implement a heavy dose of socialist practices. PWNED!

[tolykozin]

i dont see Arundhati fighting for the rights of minorities of Pakistan, namely Hindus. Where is the voice of dissent now? So much of the minority voice in Pakistan has been silenced and she does not say a word. She really has all her facts screwed. I would love to see her living in Pakistan as a Hindu and then let her speak. I would love to see her walking freely and talking about minorities in Pakistan. They would behead her in a second

[ankureshkumar]

Actually this Arundhati is a communist leader. So her speaks are influenced due to china. Communist wants to give whole north East to china. Kashmir to pakistan and want to make a Andhra pradesh a seperate country with dictatorship of communist party similar to china. She gives full support to naxals and terrorist. And she praises them bcos they fulfill her dream of breaking India. But unfortunately communist party is completely wiped out of India. Indians no more want these idiots.

[Knuxes]

Ur full of it. U damn well know that nearly all of what U stated here is either hyperbole or outright lies.

[Knuxes]

Dude, way to miss the point. She's Indian, so stop dealing with nonsensical hypotheticals. She's addressing Indian problems; u know, in her home nation?

[rahul727]

WOW...

Miss Arundhati Roy, if I am not correct, was it not PAKISTANI citizens that attacked Mumbai?

I agree India has it problems, but get your facts straight- it wasnt oppressed Indians that did this, it was terrorists from Pakistan!

[nikhilyt]

this woman is communist and pro-islamist looking for popularity by bashing the free world. antinationalist selfish woman

[studboy66]

Exactly

[pemmaraju11]

is her perception is holistic or she making her views through the abstract of happened incident.

some people want attention through controversial statements, does she belong to such category

[achintyasharma]

Ms Roy, mind answering two questions?

1. What do dalits/Indian muslims have to do with pakistani terrorists?

2. What/who is preventing muslims in India from gaining education and becoming prosperous?

Despite your mindless rant, the fact remains that India is a successful democracy, it is still a rapidly growing major economy, and an upcoming power. Neither you, nor any one else, can change that fact. So Ms Roy, shut the fuck up and do what you can do correctly. Go write a novel.

[Knuxes]

"...a successful democracy"... LOL! Surely U jest. How many girls were aborted there over the past decade? Millions? The caste system is still in place in some areas. I was in India back in the 90's. If I was not puking, I was shitting.

[achintyasharma]

@Knuxes None of these things things have ANYTHING to do with democracy. I never denied that india does not have it's share of problems. And oh, if you were puking and shitting here, don't come here again. Simple as that.

[arkaan79]

who cares what this psuedo liberal raaand has to say

[Alwaysdilse]

Arundhati Roy is amazing. She brought forth very valid points. More people like her need to step out and lead India.

[samratdp]

And what does she mean ? coz we are friends of Israel and USA we must be attacked, so others shud tell us who shud be our friends... Death to you Arundhati......

[samratdp]

Arundhati Roy is bitch and needs to be a victim of the next terror attack. Does she forget that there are Paki terrorists as well, does she forget that there are Muslim terrorists as well...in other parts of the world. she is justifying terrorism

[timshieldrod]

samratdp: "she is justifying terrorism"...just prior to this sentence, this person says "Arundhati Roy is [a] bitch and needs to be a victim of the next terror attack." ... the ignorance and hate is simply amazing

[Knuxes]

Exactly, typical enraged hate from bigots & extreme right-wingers. Then they talk about 'democracy' & 'free-markets' & 'black welfare queens' & the 'lizard illuminati'....

[eldiablo10028]

o yea and she acts like shes the only one who cares about uplifting dalits and ending poverty.. no bitch you arent so go suck a dick.

the right wing hindu groups that you hate so much (RSS, HSS etc) have done FAR more than you or your cohorts to fight poverty, casteism, and prejudice due to ancient hindu rituals.

she considers herself liberal? let's see how liberal she is with her muslim pals, most of whom hate gays, democracy, freedom of speech/expression etc...let her live with the taliban

[eldiablo10028]

o yea...and muslims are doing bad?? well maybe overall they are poor, but so are most hindus. fucken dumb bitch sees the world in black and white.

if iindia hates muslims then why are our most beloved movie stars muslim? how about our atheletes? artists? novelists?

richest muslim enterpeneur in the world is INDIAN (Azem Premji).

the reason why india is being attacked is cuz we are weak like this bitch.

if she mentions kashmir, she'd do well to remind pakistan to stop sending terrorists.

[eldiablo10028]

fuck this cunt. seriously, fuck her. she bascially justified the mumbai attacks.."the chickens came home to roast"

first, the bitch got it wrong...the attackers have now been confirmed to be pakistani. 2nd, the rise of the hindu right is a direct result to the brutality of islamic terrorism on india from within and from outside (kashmir 1989 anyone??).

she mentions gujurat, be casually forgets that 59 hindus were fried alive, which caused the riots.

nanvanati found modi to be innocent.

[andrer2006]

all the pakistanis love her...interesting.

[andrer2006]

arrgh.....she is saying terrible things about India. I dont know what her motive is. I hope she is doing something for the majority Hindus too...

[derdriui]

o.O you kind of miss the point of cricisim don't yoou... if you don't point out the ills of a country it will not improve.

In india? Caste above most, police torture, corruption, poverty... you have to point out the problems in a country and not be condemned for "saying terrible things about India".

[BrownSpice85]

I'm Pakistani-American and I love her. I think she's brilliant. She reminds me of Ghandhi for some reason. I think she has similar ideologies as him.

[derdriui]

better, better. she is for the uplifting of dalits, not just renaming them and eating with them but actually liberating them from the societal and cruel confines they live in.

[inder19852000]

As Indians,we have to adress the root causes of terrorism and do something about it to make sure that radical elements do not sprout up again in the society.The politicians should stop playing the cards of relgion in the elections

[kashsoldier]

This whore is totally out of touch with the reality. Go and tell this to families of 1000s of victims of bombings across India. I am sure they will lynch this ugly skinny bitch !!

[derdriui]

idiot.

Sexist idiot.

Crude, wrong and sexist idiot.

[rockypkd1]

She's fucking insane .... It's a free country indeed ...

[ISIpaki]

At least there is a single sensible person in whole India. Well done Arundhati roy. Keep on exposing these unjust hindus.

[pratiktripathy]

Whenever there is a terrorist activity, everyone seems to somehow justify that in the light of Gujarat riots. So in the same line any Hindu can justify any act of aggression in view of the 10000 Hindu Kashmiri Pandits killed. I mean if you want to do comparison Hindus killed in Kashmir = 10000

Than killed in Gujarat ~ 750 (Out of a total of 1000, rest were Hindus, althogh NOONE cared to ever mention them).

And "India is a hard place to live". What???

Where have you been all these days.

[pratiktripathy]

And I would like to know where did she got those data from, that only UpperClass Hindus are benefiting the current economic growth?

And how would they be benefiting when there are no job or college reservations for them. No fee concessions to poor upper-castes. No lobby in the government for upper-castes.

No denying that there are problems in India(and who does not) but what gives her the right to complain. Is there anything else she has done to solve them, except for complaining?

[gauri172]

Arundhati Roy has clearly renounced her responsibility to be truthful. Does she have statistics on impoverished Brahmins? Does she know about upper caste conversions to Christianity due to poverty? Does she support Christian missionaries? She attributes all the change in India to the nuclear tests? What about the IT revolution that finally recognised Indian skills? What about the Muslim perspective that an Indian muslim is not Muslim enough? That real muslims live in Pakistan and Saudi?

[mfiin]

I think Arundhati had mentioned and synopsised the facts in an unusually brilliant and factual perspective. It is all about FAIRNESS and when this element fails at its core, these things resorting to voilence etc. happens; indeed, it is very sad when these things happen! No one likes it; however, the whole society has to work in unision to preclude this in future !!!!!! Her sequential thought process during her interview is superb! May God Bless Her - Amen!

[042086020]

May God protect her and reward her with good for her courage of telling the truth. Ameen

[bret234]

Can Arundhati talk about anything without bringing up Gujarat? What does this have to do with the people who attacked India, who, by all accounts, were from another country? What does the "Hindu-right" have to do with this? She should really just stick to what she's good at...writing fiction.

[kamranii]

It is a testimony to India's decline when current biggotted politicians are occupying the seats of Nehru and Gandhi. It speaks volume when India together with two or three other tiny countries were the only ones favouring republicans in the US and regretting Bush's end of office. As to its twin country on its western borders, it started as a corrupt entity and still is.

Thank God there are still people like Arundhati Roy who dare to offer a diffrent version than the official one.

[suseeln]

Arundhati roy is one of the biggest hyprocrists in India today. She is so concerned about freemarket and classes but embraced freemarket when her book received so much of royalty

[Nusrat5791]

I am a Pakistani female, from an upper class class, educated family who had to flee Pakistan because of severe abuse carried out in the name of Islam, by my erstwhile husband, his family and their Maulvi [Islamic priest], and segments of my own family.

I appeal to Ms.Arundhati Roy to not shy away from using her soap-box to criticize Pakistani society which is under the control of fundamentalist. They use Islam to subjugate and persecute women, of all classes and background across Pakistan.

[ranjan2]

Sorry Nusrat, the only thing which this weeping philosophress knows is to condemn Hindus and (strange enough) link all the ills and terrorism in the world with Hindu fundamentalism.

[mfiin]

Indeed, completely concur with your thoughts!

[shadabqayoom]

beautiful purely logical and sensible i just love this lady called arundhati roy

[ranjan2]

Arundhati Roy is a dirty harlot who deserves to be burnt alive as a witch. All the time exclusively cursing the Hindus and turning a blind eye to the Islamic terrorism.

[Arachnodouche]

The LeT, at whom all evidence points to, has revamped its manifesto to accomodate the takfiri doctrine and is now committed to spreading the roots of Islam that they deem fit throughout the formerly occupied Muslim lands of South Asia. That is the crux of the issue; this isn't a conflict in the vein of Palestine or Kashmir. This is a conflict that bears the lineage of the bigotry, backwardness and hate-propagating doctrines of Sayyid Qutb and Ayman-al-Zawahiri.

[Arachnodouche]

Hindus have committed atrocities. Muslims have committed atrocities. That is an entirely internalized, communal issue facing the country and should bear no relevance to Pakistan's relations with India. What Arundhati Roy, who is a self-aggrandizing, pseudo-intellectual hack in my not so very humble opinion, fails to see is the stark differentiation between communal bickering, be it based on seperatist movements in J&K, and the global phenomenon of Islamic jihad.

[kidbis]

"waah, waah ....I am feeling oppressed. I will plant a bomb in your house." Is it very difficult to see the limitations in this kind of reasoning?

[koolkaps1]

I feel like vomitting after hearing her comments.. There is just INTENSE HATRED for HINDUS in her mind..

[qirfa]

Globalturfwar, thanx for this vid. It's amazing that only when injustice is carried out by Muslims then people are up in arms. The same cowards don't raise their voices against other injustices: Christian nuns who took part in Rwandan genocide; hindu brutality towards lower castes, christians and muslims in India; Indian atrocity in Kashmir; Chinese atrocity in Tibet; Zionist atrocity in Palestine. What hypocrisy!

[aburashdan]

this is not arundhati's voice, a male voice, what the fuck is going on?

[cybersurg]

"Reasoned debate always welcome - abuse will be removed with extreme prejudice... "

This means what I don't like I will remove.

When "removal" means death it becomes murder, or terrorism

When "removal" is censorship of impassioned views against inanity it is "abuse, to be removed with extreme prejudice (so there)". Ironic.

I am looking for the transcript of ARoy's comments to use elsewhere. I will not watch the video because I don't have any nice things to say about Arundhati Roy.

[globalturfwar]

Wow, poster's issues exposed here. First of all you are bemoaning "censorship", then you censor yourself from watching the vid!! Secondly, I meant profanity or abuse - why should anyone tolerate abuse instead of "reasoned debate." Take a chill pill dude

[cybersurg]

I will certainly take a chillpill sir (or madam). But recall that you are only astounded by my self censorship, while your power to censor others views is stated as a given without any mention of profanity - which you state as an afterthought.

One standard for you. Another for others.

[globalturfwar]

Your comments are still here. Would you allow the same courtesy to someone like Arundhati? Have another chill pill on the house.

[cybersurg]

Terrorists reserve the right to strike at will, and then claim that not striking is a concession for which they deserve credit.

From a verbal, rhetorical standpoint you are taking the same attitude. That is laughable.

This chill pill business lacks imagination - I am sure you can respond (if you must) without the purposeless "bells and whistles" to fluff up your comments by indicating a particular state of my mind for which you have a prescription.

[beauceron]

I find her views puerile. The notion that poverty drives terrorism has been refuted by study after study. I think Ms. Roy attaches herself to the explanation that fits her personal ideology and ignores the blunt fact that Islamism has its own fully formed ideology.

[holymolydude]

Arundhati makes no connection between poverty and terrorism. She connects injustice with terrorism. You find her views puerile because you are ignorant and irrational.

[Arachnodouche]

There is no excuse for taking innocent lives. Not in Palestine and certainly not under the ruse of spreading religion, an empty, fake, fraudulous and unintelligent premise. Roy can go to the NWFP & wear the hijab for all I care and get her obnoxious, untrained, holier-than-thou mouth stoned while she's at it.

[akiod]

I feel sorry for the loss of life in Mumbai and condemn it by all means. Here I think Arundhati Roy has really given a food for thought to war mongering Indian establishment and media, that rather than just blaming Pakistan for everything they should take some time and look inside and search their own soul.
