Arundhati Roy: 9 Is Not 11 (And November Isn't September)

As comparisons between the attacks in Mumbai and the September 11th attacks continue to be made, Indian officials unveiled a massive revamp of the country’s security and anti-terror infrastructure last week. I am joined now by someone who warns of the dangers of comparing the attacks in Mumbai to the attacks in New York: award-winning novelist, essayist and activist, Arundhati Roy. Her latest article is called “9 Is Not 11 (And November Isn’t September).” It was published in India’s Outlook magazine, Britain’s Guardian newspaper, and on TomDispatch.com here in the United States.

@aleena524 why do we have to 'respect' anybodies stupid beliefs? We cannot let mentally unstable people with false beliefs loose in the society. See what happened on 9/11?

arundhati roy is media attention whore , she is no different that rakhi sawant ,

bitch thinks if she insults india in world press she will become famous.

she must be twisted from her childhood

mumbai rather seems to be another u.s. steered coup for the sake to expand the "war on terror", wether others took part in it or not. in that sense it can very well be compared to 9/11. period. both indians and pakistanis should get clear on that and unite against this lethal game.

@inder19852000 Kuttey ke laundey, 1000s of Our great soldiers have sacrificed their life for our motherland in Kashmir. Do you know 1 million Kashmiri pandits are refugees on their own land. Pakistan is supporting the genocide of Pandits. THis bitch is not at all concerned about poor pandit family living in refugee camps, especially women. Poda mala myra. Nee poyi avalude sadhanam nakkikodu.

[inder19852000]

[inder19852000]

Mind your words!! I am an Indian. As I am well-cultured, I don´t use the same nasty words like you

[Rajesh123268]
