Arundhati Roy's comments on power
Arundhati Roy's comments on power
Sometimes I think the world is divided into those who have a comfortable relationship with power and those who have a naturally adversarial relationship with power.— Arundhati Roy
Source and background of this quote :
Arundhati Roy, “Terror and the Maddened King”, in The Checkbook and the Cruise Missile,op. cit., 46.
In these interviews, collected by David Barsamian between 2001 and 2003, Arundhati Roy speaks frankly and compellingly on subjects ranging from her unconventional childhood in India to the state of the world following September 11 and the US-led invasion of Iraq. This collection assures Arundhati Roy's prominence as a vital political essayist. In language that is at once lively and humorous, searching and fierce, she discusses her political activism, from her participation in demonstrations against the Indian dam programme to her ongoing legal battle against a charge for corrupting.
