Why has it become so cool to hate India?
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Our own, Arundhati Roy, who feels compelled to go all over the world and announce that "India is an artificial state", recently along with some other anti-India stalwarts attended a meeting to remember Marxist-Leninist separatist Naxals. Mind you, these are the same Naxals who recommend partitioning the country and happily extort and kill innocent Indian citizens. The Bidwais, Pandeys and Roys had to honor them, but, would they ever visit the families of soldiers who died at Kargill? Nope, and nobody called them on it â no protests, no editorial scolding. Our politicians outdo all this.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd--> .
This Woman Has Gone Real Crazy, Arundhati Roy Abusing Freedoms
David Barsamian: You grew up in Kerala. Whatâs the status of women there?

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Arundhati Roy: Women from Kerala work throughout India and the world earning money to send back home. And yet theyâll pay a dowry to get married, and theyâll have the most bizarrely subservient relationships with their husbands. I grew up in a little village in Kerala. It was a nightmare for me. All I wanted to do was to escape, to get out, to never have to marry somebody there. Of course, they were not dying to marry me [laughs]. I was the worst thing a girl could be: thin, black, and clever.
