Arundhati Roy is always a great read. A notorious Hinduphobe and Indophobe wielding a poisonous pen she may be, but the way she has parlayed her Booker prize win into international celebrity is something every wannabe Indian intellectual should learn from. - Casually accepting racism against India from the Washington Post? Check. - Expecting first world facilities in a third world country? Check. - Para after para of beautifully written tragedy porn? Check. - Deliberately misrepresenting the CAA without mentioning the 1947 Nehru-Gandhi promise to the wretched non-Muslim minorities of Pakistan about their always having a home in India? How dare Hindus and Sikhs whose teenage daughters were forcibly converted to Islam and married off to decrepit old men in Pakistan come seeking asylum to their original homeland. Go back you dirty scum! Don't you see we are more concerned about Rohingya Muslims from Burma? Check. - Referring to the RSS as a fascist organization while previously having celebrating terrorists as "Gandhians with guns"? Check. - Barely concealed hatred for the man who united India: Vallabhbhai Patel? Check. - Referring to the Delhi riots as an anti-Muslim pogrom while her friends in academia and the anti-Modi media prevented a publisher from publishing a book on the riot?[1] Check. - The Kumbh mela only exists "so that millions of Hindu pilgrims could crowd together in a small town to bathe in the Ganges and spread the virus even-handedly as they returned to their homes across the country." - Talking about the West Bengal elections without talking about how incredibly violent the naxals, communists and socialists have been in the state for the last 50 years? Check. - The narrative for West Bengal is already ready. If the BJP wins, it did it over the corpses of thousands. if it loses, it is because West Bengal rejected communal politics. - Lying about SII and Bharat Biotech vaccines being some of the most expensive in the world purely because the companies are Indian?[2] Check. - Mentioning the Gujarat riots of 2002 while downplaying the murder of Hindus as well as the original trigger: 59 Hindu pilgrims including 27 women and 10 children locked inside train compartments and burnt alive by a bloodthirsty 2000-strong Muslim mob? Check. Like I said, Roy is a great read. If you want to create a Modi voter, all you have to do point this person to her writings. And then show them the truth. 1. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/aug/24/bloomsbury-india-pulls-delhi-riots-2020-book-after-anti-muslim-controversy https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/aug/24/bloomsbury-ind... 2.
