Devil's Advocate :: 1/5 :: Arundhati Roy :: 'Indian Democracy In A State Of Emergency'

Dismissive of democracy, the author perhaps supports the Maoist struggle.

Significantly the more so, by her using the simile 'MINORITY vs MAJORITY' saying, "What the Muslims were to the BJP, the Maoists are to the Congress" !
==========
Karan Thapar : Hello and welcome to Devil's Advocate. In her latest series of essays, Arundhati Roy sounds deeply dismissive of the Indian democracy and perhaps supportive of the Maoist struggle. Why does she take these positions? That's the key issue I shall explore today with Arundhati Roy.

Let's start with your cynical view of Indian democracy. In your essays, you say the 'Beacon is fading,' you say it's being hollowed out and emptied of meaning, you say that Indian democracy no longer can be relied upon to deliver the justice and stability we dreamt it would. Why have you come to this conclusion?
