a democratic way of fighting for one's rights is as well.. And I think she is doing the right thing by raising the right questions in terms of that.. But the other stuff in terms of Genocide and Muslims being in the bottom rung and free market capitalism dictating democracy although debatable is exaggeration I wud say.. India is still in the nascent stages of HDI and societal development.. We have poor and dispossessed and we want to do something about it .. That is why we have the Vijay Hazares

@buzzin1975 You completely undermine your credibility by making such an obviously bigoted remark about Jews. When you say such racist remarks, you not only belittle yourself, but you also undermine the very arguments that you make because people will just say "Look at this person railing about corporations. They are racists, so their point of view must be wrong and the nonracist corporations must be right."

CPI(M) = Chinese Party of India(Mao)
these backbitch left parties supported China during the 1962 India-China war,in which India lost miserably. If India has to progress these Chinese spies should bedie...

@Diosibundo That's because he's a mouthpiece for the corporate government. And he's owned by the fucking white jews, who should all be annihilated from this planet.

Something to take home with you guys. Ever wondered, why in West we (yes, we) have some many high opinionated politically conscious people who are individual dissenters of the wrong that the govern does while we in India have only a few who would speak their mind and dare to be on the sides of angels and be ready to pay the price? The question haunts me to this day. Anybody? What went wrong down the road that reduced us to mindless parrots?

All so disheartening to see that people miss the point. She is not saying that we should switch to socialism or communism, she is saying that we should rather try to do away with whats wrong with our form of democracy now. As other people's comments suggest that we are so much "better off" is not the point. The point is that the government is unconstitutionally undertaking a big land-grab in the Maoist areas owing to corporate interests.

After watching the 4 parts there are various things that I agree and disagree somehow I am not able to conduce a judgement in particular but she is no means a Cassandra but she does validate some serendipity that could lead us to some sort of solution to this. We cant just judge the voilence that the maoist emanate but should also consider their economic and social backgrounds that Arundati has thrown light upon.

The solutions suggested by her for Maoist problem doesn't sound convincing at all. She is like letting us the problem,however doesn't seem to have the solutions...
-
She has no solutions only loud excuses. Her logic is built just around human development index. Logic is shallow and flimsy - she doesn't understand the issues only cribs loudly about them. Thanks Karan for showing who this woman actually is and removing all doubt that she is just an idle idiot!

Her only excuse for shooting from her mouth is gaining popularity. Logic is shallow and flimsy - she has no solutions only loud protests. She doesn't understand the issues only cribs about them. Punish her, don't give the attention she is craving.

@kkmalay
I agree completely. He's badgering her with idiotic, mindless cliches and soundbites while she's being articulate, sensitive and intelligent.
He's far, far beneth her.
