Reflections

"It's odd how those who dismiss the peace movement as utopian, don't hesitate to proffer the most absurdly dreamy reasons for going to war: to stamp out terrorism, install democracy, eliminate fascism, and most entertainingly, to 'rid the world of evil-doers.'" - Arundhati Roy

Arundhati Roy is an Indian activist and novelist who won the Booker Prize for her novel The God of Small Things. Her writings on social and political issues, including her support for Kashmiri separatism and various environmental projects and her critiques of US foreign policy and Indian nuclear weapons policy, have sparked significant controversy in India and abroad.
