"Mother Tongue, Globalisation and Fear of Authority", Arundhati Roy with Students | The AIDEM

[@sheemakarp6424]

I always seize every opportunity to listen to this writer & activist. And only just now has this video appeared on my feed!! I’ll have to be more diligent in searching out her talks. I love this talk: she never once talked down to these young questioners & showed great respect through her frank opinions about caste in Kerala. She is straight forward, clear, & never yields her hope. Thank you, ma’am.

It is quite disappointing that very few people watched this video. Arundathi Roy is such a brave honest writer, thinker, activist and a great speaker challenging the fascist regime by sacrificing herself. Madam keep going 🔥💐

She should change her name to arundhati khan bano

I am fully mesmerized by Arundhathi's articulation, her voice and assertiveness.

[@palianshow]

Excellent questions and even better answers

It is our tragedy that we trust our politicians rather than our intellectuals and we will pay very dearly for it.

[@mazumdar2379]

Ok

[@thomasthomasphilp4393]

I used to like her. She never criticizes Islamism in India. Respect is always "Give and Take".

[@tolykozin]

Interesting how she finds everything wrong with hinduism but nothing wrong with the other major religious practices

[@EpickaNESSiskool]

​@tolykozin hinduism is the state religion. Obviously her criticism will be focused on hinduism

[@nishantsharma7832]

​​@@tolykozin u must not know the history of Islamist and communist collaboration In india.😅

[@tolykozin]

@@nishantsharma7832 obviously you do not understand English 😁

[@sheemakarp6424]

In fact, she criticizes coercion & oppression & suppression of speech in many instances globally, whether by Hindu extremists, Muslim extremists, western or eastern government suppression of free speech & journalism etc etc etc. If you search her speeches, she has done so quite recently.
