"Author Roy is facing criminal trial for contempt of court in India. Of course, Narendra Modi’s government has left no clear fingerprints on this scene of a crime against art and thought"


"The governments of Egypt and Turkey are brazenly leading a multi-pronged assault on writers, artists and intellectuals. Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan last month denounced his critics among Turkish academics as treasonous fifth columnists of foreign powers; many of them have been subsequently dismissed and suspended. Both Turkey and Egypt have imprisoned journalists, provoking international protests. But the suppression of intellectual and creative freedoms is assuming much cannier forms in India, a country with formal and apparently free democratic institutions."


The corporate revolution will collapse
If we refuse to buy what they are selling…
their ideas, their version of the history,their wars, their weapons, their notion on inevitability.
Remember this: We may be many, and they may be few.
They need us more than we need them.
Another world is not only possible, she is on her way.
On a quiet day I can hear her breathing-Arundhati Roy
