Has leather been banned in India? Has meat been banned in India? Do Indian students admire Adolf Hitler and have his picture as the cover of their textbooks? Are Naxalites ‘Gandhians with arms’? Has the Indian state deployed its military against its own innocent citizens in Manipur, Nagaland, Mizoram, Kashmir, Punjab, Goa and Telangana? These are a few of the wild assertions made by a fiction writer cum activist going by the infamous name – Arundhati Roy.
To be honest, Arundhati Roy is now considered a taboo and an untouchable even among liberal circles in India. The only audience which the deranged woman has in the country, to which she religiously caters to, is either belonging to the ultra-Left wing which keeps itself on a trip of ‘armed revolution’, or of course, the Islamist secessionists who would die for seeing the breakage of this country into bits and pieces.
As mentioned earlier, Arundhati Roy is not taken seriously even by the harshest critics of the BJP and Modi any longer. Consequently, the lady has been deprived of the attention she so desperately needs. Having exhausted her intellectual capacity to write any more substandard books, the only medium she now has to spew her venom is the ever-so-benevolently anti-India media, the likes of which include the BBC, New York Times, Al Jazeera, Washington Post, among others. The latest entrant being the German-based DW News.

German fundamentalists affected the Holocaust, massacring more than 6 million Jews. Completely irrelevant to the current subject, yet, let me take the luxury of stating this fact nevertheless.
In an interview with DW News, Arundhati Roy went on to loosely explain how India, under a tyrannical Modi and BJP rule, was at the cusp of organizing a “genocide against Muslims”. She said that the COVID-19 crisis of India was not a crisis at all, rather an excuse for the present-day government to stigmatize Muslims and ultimately massacre them. Almost immediately, she also said that she did not trust the COVID-19 numbers put out by the government. Yes, even I am wondering what this lady smokes.
Roy aims to drive home a point. She attempted to join non-existent dots, and claim that the stigmatization of Muslims comes on the backdrop of an “anti-Muslim massacre in Delhi”. The massacre she is referring to here is the Delhi Riots, which took place in February, due to which close to 15 to 16 Hindus lost their lives. It must be remembered that Muslims had been putting up an irritating and inconvenient show, first at Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh, and then in Jaffrabad.
Arundhati then goes on to explain how students, lawyers, journalists and intellectuals are being arrested in India. Mind you, the anchor taking the interview did not once ask any question of Roy, who was seen lying through her teeth. Perhaps the students she is referring to are the likes of Sharjeel Imam, Umar Khalid and Shehla Rashid, who with each passing day, are setting new bars of remaining a student (technically so), despite their age. This does not come as a surprise, as these lowlives consider Roy their ‘Godmother’.
Roy then went on to add, “The whole of the organization, the RSS to which Modi belongs, which is the mother ship of the BJP, has long said that India should be a Hindu nation. Its ideologues have likened the Muslims of India to the Jews of Germany. And if you look at the way in which they are using COVID, it was very much like typhus was used against the Jews to ghettoize them, to stigmatize them.”
Even by her own fallen standards, this is an extravagant exaggeration, not to mention an absolute lie. It is known for a fact that Islamists have been waging a war against India in these times of unprecedented crisis. Ahmedabad, Indore, Moradabad, Madhubani, Hyderabad, Agra, Ghaziabad are some cities and towns which saw physical, and life-endangering assaults on healthcare workers, medical teams and police personnel by Islamists. Were these incidents triggered by supposed hatred of Hindus against Muslims? No. These were bloodthirsty mobs of Islamists acting out of their free will to derail India’s fight against COVID-19. Did Arundhati Roy even do so much as acknowledge these incidents? No. Because the lady is an insidious lying invertebrate, hateful against Hindus for not readily accepting subjugation by radicals of sorts.
Does Arundhati Roy care to mention the Tablighi Jamaat during her interview with that disgrace of a journalist hosting her? No. Because that would expose her duplicity, not to mention her ignorance. When it is a known fact that the Tablighi Jamaat contributed thousands of cases to India’s COVID-19 tally, her not even mentioning the same, yet harping incessantly on the “anti-Muslim” sentiment which Hindus supposedly have in their hearts, is a testimony to the deceitful personality of the Booker Prize winner.
Towards the end of the ‘interview’, Roy also mentioned the “detention centres” across the country, which I presume, she thinks will be used as gas chambers by the oh-so-tyrannical Modi. The question to be asked is, why do leftists always seem so keen to draw historical parallels between Germany and India, when there are no similarities between the two? Also, where exactly are these detention centres, and for what purpose have they been made? These are obvious queries which Roy ignored completely, and went on with her hyperbolic pitch of “Muslims are about to be massacred” in India.
Arundhati Roy, in the past, has gone to the extent of praising Pakistan, for at least not deploying its army against its own people, unlike what she thinks is happening in India, where the army is supposedly killing the citizens of this country on a daily basis. She also is an unequivocal supporter of Naxalism, which has cost India thousands of lives. On Kashmir, her inclinations are firmly positioned alongside the Hurriyat and the likes of Yasin Malik (with whom she shares a ‘friendly’ relationship of sorts). As such, it is no hard guess to conclude that she wants the secession of Kashmir from India. She has further repeatedly called for a referendum in the valley.
Arundhati Roy is considered the sole voice of triumphant truth from India in bogus far-Left kitty circles around the world. Her motivations are crystal clear, however, who funds them is not. There is no doubt that she and her “Zindabad Trust” receive foreign funding from dubious fronts. Therefore, it is but necessary for the government and the MHA to take note of her crass anti-India propaganda and put the woman in her place, which would ideally be behind thick iron bars.
