Arundhati Roy - The RSS: Fascism in India (interviewed by David Barsamian)

[@ericrobinson7184]

“The world has never had to face such global confusion. Only in facing it can we make sense of what we have to do. And this is precisely what Arundhati Roy does. She makes sense of what we have to do. Thereby offering an example. An example of what? Of being fully alive in our world, such as it is, and of getting close to and listening to those for whom this world has become intolerable.” -JOHN BERGER

A thoroughly enjoyable interview providing a glimpse into an India we hear little of - thanks for posting.

[@shivam_nagar69]

you hear a little because these liars are not getting paid enough for that Would love to hear why there is no leader in america from real americans(native indians) community India's Modi appointed a tribal women for president seat, what these so called intellectuals have done for india so far? just talking shit about india on international level Even if i was against Modi, i would have never bring down my india and talk about our internal matters in front of a foreigner. Because i know how much foreign media loves to defame india, then these fake liberals and intellectuals are enough for that.

As an American Jew who does not support Israel, let me say to all the commenters below that no country in the world now or in history is without sin in terms of oppressing another country or ethnic or religious group, so just keep that in mind. America is no exception. I wish everyone on earth PEACE

[@azadrasheed497]

A sort of justification for the White European Jews of apartheid Israel in brutal barbaric occupation of the indigenous peoples of Palestine.Countries are Human Constructs,Israel based on Jews are Exclusive Chosen by Jewish Settlers God Yahwah,& he promised them Palestine 3-4-5-6,000 years ago.😄😅🤣

It was wonderful listening to Arundhati. Especially in a time that we share a similar struggle. Being an Iranian who stands against Islamic fascism and she has so many lessons for me. Can't recommend reading and listening to her more to my fellow Iranians who are fighting for freedom and equality.

I am a Christian from India. Arundathi Roy has never ever talked by genocide of Kashmir Pandits by Muslims in Kashmir. Please watch the movie, "Kashmir Files'. Which minorities are equally treated in a Muslim country?

[@apatriot4400]

It's fine. What else can you expect from a propagandist? Christians, Sikhs, Jains and Parsis are thriving in India. It seems like only one minority exists in India!

[@pc7615]

U r not christian, your grammar mistakes reveal that u r a Hindu villager paid by IT cell. Secondly yes she has talked about kashmiri pandits. And reasoned on their forced migration which is sad for sure.

Reading various comments, I'm saddened by religious/caste prejudices expressed. The founding fathers of British Created India,Pakistan,would be turning in their graves.That Rahul Gandhi in jail?or his freedoms curtailed is a sad reflection of Modistan or is it Hindustan.Recently I I traveled UAE & was surprised at the numbers of Indian Hindus running various businesses.I understand that one of the Ruler has approved the building of a Hindu Temple. Sad if India from being a Secular State has become an religious STATE. Should change it's name from India to Hindustan.I understand that was the name when the Afghans ruled North India.I was hooked when read 'The God of Small Things'& read "The Ministry of Utmost Happiness',& her essays. Another great writer is Salmon Rushdie. More Humanity in these writers than in 'Caste',Religion driven Indian Politicians.

As Christopher Hitchens would say "that which is presented without evidence can be dismissed without evidence". I presume you have evidence to back up your claim?

[@GA-jx3dx]

@@jjjohnthomasss so you don't have your own argument. You have to quote Christopher Hitchens? Well, I'm an Indian I know the truth behind the protest and the people behind them. Khalistani's created nuisance at Red Fort. Is this what you call peaceful protest? You can search for it without any problem. Can you provide an evidence why you think they are not lying - by your logic ?

[@jjjohnthomasss]

@@GA-jx3dx I don't need an argument, I am using "Hitchens razor" as it has become known to point out that you haven't presented an argument. I don't have to search for anything because the burden of proof is on the person making the claim. That's you sport. You better step up your game if you hope to convince anyone because I just think you're a liar and an idiot.

[@GA-jx3dx]

@@jjjohnthomasss quite clearly you are not from India and don't know anything about Indian politics. The lady in the interview is a habitual liar and is the reason for spreading misinformation about India and the present dispensation. Alright? I have full right to call her a liar. You are such an idiot that you don't know anything about the subject they are talking about and quoting a name out of context. You are simply poking your filthy nose here. You are not even ready to research about the person when asked. What evidence you want - both buggers are spewing venom and I won't call them what they are.... Before you spit shit, tell me what do you know about farmers protest.... If you don't know then let me know I will EDUCATE you...

[@jjjohnthomasss]

@@GA-jx3dx I have repeatedly asked you to provide evidence proving your claim that she is lying. You have yet to provide any evidence. Without evidence you are either a liar or an idiot. I don't have to research anything, I've asked you to provide proof and you never do. This is called the burden of proof it means the person making the claim must provide the evidence. Do you have evidence? You are proving her to be correct. Instead of trying to have a fact based conversation and provide evidence, you introduce logical fallacies and carry on exactly as I expect a dishonest fanatic would. If you are the best defender of the Modi regime then they are in trouble. Your pathetic attempts to bluster your way through this argument are laughable. You're nothing but a joke to me.
