22. ARUNDHATI ROY'S ARTICLE : THE GREATER COMMON GOOD That you have the courage to watch while the dues are cleared and the books are squared. Our dues. Our books. Not theirs. Be there. arundhati roy April 1999 http://www.narmada.org/gcg/gcg.html

Friends of River Narmada Main Home About Us Introduction Narmada Dams ... SANDRP Dams Sardar Sarovar Maheshwar Maan Indira-Sagar THE GREATER COMMON GOOD "If you are to suffer, you should suffer in the interest of the country." - Jawaharlal Nehru, speaking to villagers who were to be displaced by the Hirakud Dam, 1948. I stood on a hill and laughed out loud. I had crossed the Narmada by boat from Jalsindhi and climbed the headland on the opposite bank from where I could see, ranged across the crowns of low, bald hills, the tribal hamlets of Sikka, Surung, Neemgavan and Domkhedi. I could see their airy, fragile, homes. I could see their fields and the forests behind them. I could see little children with littler goats scuttling across the landscape like motorised peanuts. I knew I was looking at a civilisation older than Hinduism, slated - sanctioned (by the highest court in the land) - to be drowned this monsoon when the waters of the Sardar Sarovar reservoir will rise to submerge it. Why did I laugh? Because I suddenly remembered the tender concern with which the Supreme Court judges in Delhi (before vacating the legal stay on further construction of the Sardar Sarovar Dam) had enquired whether tribal children in the resettlement colonies would have children's parks to play in. The lawyers representing the Government had hastened to assure them that indeed they would, and, what's more, that there were seesaws and slides and swings in every park. I looked up at the endless sky and down at the river rushing past and for a brief, brief moment the absurdity of it all reversed my rage and I laughed. I meant no disrespect.

Arundhati Roy page Books Power Politics "America has always viewed oil as a security consideration, and protected it by any means it deems necessary. Few of us doubt that the U.S. military presence in the Persian Gulf has little to do with its concern for human rights and almost entirely to do with its strategic interest in oil." Arundhati Roy, author and activist War Talk "In America, the arms industry, the oil industry and the major media networks-indeed, U.S. foreign policy-are all controlled by the same business combines." Arundhati Roy, author and activist An Ordinary Person's Guide to Empire Articles New WorId Disorder - War is peace. So now we know "The International Coalition Against Terror is largely a cabal of the richest countries in the world. Between them, they manufacture and sell almost all of the world's weapons, and they possess the largest stockpile of weapons of mass destruction-chemical, biological and nuclear. They have fought the most wars, account for most of the genocide, subjection, ethnic cleansing and human rights violations in modem history, and have sponsored, armed and financed untold numbers of dictators and despots. Between them, they have worshipped, almost deified, the cult of violence and war. For all its appalling sins, the Taliban just isn't in the same league." Arundhati Roy, author and activist

26. ZNet Commentary: Are We Alone, Arundhati Roy? Ms. Byrne asked whether there was really such a tradition, or was she (roy) just being wishful? “Yeah, there was”, answered arundhati roy. http://www.zmag.org/sustainers/content/2004-11/12vltchek.cfm

USEFUL SUSTAINER LINKS YOUR ACCOUNT INFORMATION ZNET'S TOP PAGE ZNet DAILY ZINE PAGE COMMENTARY AUTHORS ... SUSTAINER PROGRAM FEEDBACK CUSTOMIZE November 12, 2004 Are We Alone, Arundhati Roy? By Andre Vltchek Two years ago we met in the coffee shop of Park Hotel in Delhi. What was supposed to be a short encounter became a few hours long heated discussion about literature and events of September 11th. Arundhati was about to depart India for the US where she was invited to speak. I suggested that September 11 should not be just remembered as an anniversary of attacks against WTC and Pentagon; it should be mourned as the day when, in 1973, Chilean military sponsored by the US government and private companies destroyed one of the oldest democracies on earth. We discussed politics and we discussed mounting problems in India, but we also talked about the state of literature, topic about which we both felt passionate. We agreed that almost all great modern writers seemed to be in lethargic sleep or too frightened to address important global issues. Or maybe there were almost no great writers left. Philosophy, politics, social criticism and vision were replaced by frivolous, entertaining plots. Pitiful state of today’s world; its disparities and scandalous post-colonial arrangement topped the list of some of the issues hardly discussed on the pages of contemporary novels. Fiction became politically and socially detached and therefore historically and morally irrelevant. Instead of aiming at retaining their status as “the conscience of society”, most of the writers opted for much more modest goals, turning themselves to entertainers and showbiz figures.

Sometimes, if only in order to test our resolve, it's important to win something. In order to win something, we need to agree on something." After a tour d'horizon, the author of The God of Small Things calls for a " minimum agenda" as well as a plan of action that prioritises global resistance to the U.S. occupation of Iraq. Here is the text of her speech at the opening Plenary of the World Social Forum in Mumbai on January 16, 2004: Arundhati Roy In the great cities of Europe and America, where a few years ago these things would only have been whispered, now people are openly talking about the good side of Imperialism and the need for a strong Empire to police an unruly world. The new missionaries want order at the cost of justice. Discipline at the cost of dignity. And ascendancy at any price. Occasionally some of us are invited to `debate' the issue on `neutral' platforms provided by the corporate media. Debating Imperialism is a bit like debating the pros and cons of rape. What can we say? That we really miss it?

The Tigris and Euphrates How many children, in how many classrooms, over how many centuries, have hang-glided through the past, transported on the wings of these words? And now the bombs are falling, incinerating and humiliating that ancient civilization by Arundhati Roy On the steel torsos of their missiles, adolescent American soldiers scrawl colorful messages in childish handwriting: For Saddam, from the Fat Boy Posse. A building goes down. A marketplace. A home. A girl who loves a boy. A child who only ever wanted to play with his older brother's marbles. On March 21, the day after American and British troops began their illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq, an "embedded" CNN correspondent interviewed an American soldier. "I wanna get in there and get my nose dirty," Private AJ said. "I wanna take revenge for 9/11." To be fair to the correspondent, even though he was "embedded" he did sort of weakly suggest that so far there was no real evidence that linked the Iraqi government to the September 11 attacks. Private AJ stuck his teenage tongue out all the way down to the end of his chin. "Yeah, well that stuff's way over my head," he said.

Arundhati Roy: The God of Small Things Study Guide Using this Guide List of other study guides Suggestions and contributions are welcome by writing to the author: Paul Brians . This version was mounted December 13, 1998. Roy's novel was published 1996, quickly became a best-seller, and won the prestigious Booker Prize in October, 1997. Roy often denies in interviews that she has been influenced by Salman Rushdie, but it is difficult to see how she could have avoided his influence, pervasive among younger South Asian writers. Particularly notable here are such typically Rushdean stylistic tricks as capitalizing Significant Words and runningtogether other words. More importantly, her novel is filled with the same sort of insistent foreshadowing as occurs throughout Midnight's Children, Shame , her novel is partly a protest against South Asian prudery which stands in the way of love. Her most original contribution in this novel is her portrayal of children, entering into their thinking in a way which does not sentimentalize them but reveals the fierce passions and terrors which course through them and almost destroy them.

The Most Cowardly War in History By Arundhati Roy World Tribunal on Iraq Friday 24 June 2005 Opening Statement of Arundhati Roy on behalf of the jury of conscience of the world tribunal of Iraq. Istanbul, Turkey - This is the culminating session of the World Tribunal on Iraq. It is of particular significance that it is being held here in Turkey where the United States used Turkish air bases to launch numerous bombing missions to degrade Iraqs defenses before the March 2003 invasion and has sought and continues to seek political support from the Turkish government, which it regards as an ally. All this was done in the face of enormous popular opposition by the Turkish people. As a spokesperson for the jury of conscience, it would make me uneasy if I did not mention that the government of India is also, like the government of Turkey, positioning itself as a ally of the United States in its economic policies and the so-called War on Terror. The testimonies at the previous sessions of the World Tribunal on Iraq in Brussels and New York have demonstrated that even those of us who have tried to follow the war in Iraq closely are not aware of a fraction of the horrors that have been unleashed in Iraq.

40. Arundhati Roy Below you ll find an article by the distinguished female Indian writer arundhati roy hands down, this is the most powerful document I ve ever read, http://ccrma.stanford.edu/~peer/arundhatiRoy.html

Below you'll find an article by the distinguished female Indian writer Arundhati Roy hands down, this is the most powerful document I've ever read, (had tears in my eyes first time reading it). It was written on the one-year anniversary of 9/11. Since it's quite long, I suggest you read it when you have enough time to get through it in one take. In any case, make sure you read it all this is truly a MUST READ thingee. Perhaps some of you've heard that she was picked by People Magazine as one of the so-called '50 Most Beautiful People in the World'... something I hope won't be held against her. (If you click on Arundhati's picture below, you can listen to a rare interview with her by the Free Speech Radio News). peer W riters imagine that they cull stories from the world. I'm beginning to believe that vanity makes them think so. That it's actually the other way around. Stories cull writers from the world. Stories reveal themselves to us. The public narrative, the private narrative they colonize us. They commission us. They insist on being told. Fiction and non-fiction are only different techniques of story telling. For reasons I do not fully understand, fiction dances out of me. Non-fiction is wrenched out by the aching, broken world I wake up to every morning. The theme of much of what I write, fiction as well as non-fiction, is the relationship between power and powerlessness and the endless, circular conflict they're engaged in. John Berger, that most wonderful writer, once wrote: 'Never again will a single story be told as though it's the only one'. There can never be a single story. There are only ways of seeing. So when I tell a story, I tell it not as an ideologue who wants to pit one absolutist ideology against another, but as a story-teller who wants to share her way of seeing. Though it might appear otherwise, my writing is not really about nations and histories, it's about power. About the paranoia and ruthlessness of power. About the physics of power. I believe that the accumulation of vast unfettered power by a State or a country, a corporation or an institution or even an individual, a spouse, friend or sibling regardless of ideology, results in excesses such as the ones I will recount here.
