‘What happens once democracy has been used up? When it has been hollowed out and emptied of meaning?’
Arundhati Roy writes of the horrifying crimes against humanity in our times with such prose and elegance that one is capable of Continuing the information.The author points out that the current system of pretend to be democracies around the world have way too much representation with way too little democracy. These governments are need structual adjustments.
In her book she say’s, In today’s privitized global march, freedom means choice, nothing to do with the human spirit, but alot to do wuth different brands of deoderant. Justice has to do with human rights(and of those, as they say, a few will do).
One of the means that this sinister plot is being staged worldwide, is with a dialogue of words that mask their intent, in truth they mean exactly the opposite of what they have traditionally meant. Sadly, this news-speak gattling gun of repeating mainstream news-speak opposites, soon become washed apposite. Suffice to say: those who cannot consume do not matter. The poor, the so-called poor, have only one choice: to resist or to succumb. Perhaps they wonder how they can go on a hunger strike when they’re already starving. How they can boycott foreign goods when they have no money to buy any goods. How can they refuse to pay taxes when they have no earnings? They know the new laws of the land criminalize the poor and conflate resistence with terrorism.
while missing out the complete demon-crazy that is India ripe with corruption, a selective upper class, and a discriminating self-sabotaging caste system blinded by fundamentalist Hindu beliefs. Roy does a great job of talking about the real issues facing India and gives voice to the voiceless while drowning out the chatter caused by mainstream media.
Reading the Book is gives you the way world’s largest democracy WORKS!, I assure you, its important every innocent indian have to read this book.
