ARUNDHATI ROY ~~~ COME SEPTEMBER (2002) (FULL SPEECH)

[hari130481]

Arundhati Roy is a very special lady.A lady with beauty and the brain.

[mayakowhisky]

In America, on the anniversary of 9/11, she tells them, 'Welcome to the world'. Respect.

[bollywoodahoy]

I agree with almost everything. Except the bit about suicide bombings being acts of 'individual despair'... and the following paragraph. Aren't they're systematic, coordinated, terrorist team-led acts of violence... ?

[dmdfct]

ARUNDHATI ROY still inspires me... always.

[mughaleazamfan]

I LOOOOOOVE the bite in her sarcasm...

[machaeroguy]

It's a great speech, but one part I disagree with is her conflation of a so-called "free market" with a hidden fist. By definition, a market is not free if violence or threat of violence is what makes it operate. A free market is one in which all participants are allowed to trade voluntarily, without coercion or nationalistic hegemony.

[minzsful]

wow! i got goosebumps..

[nugeloable]

i love her

[mosothotau]

She really inspires me. She knows her stuff so well and she is so free from artificiality!

[spall10]
