This is the best introduction ever!!
This is absolutely beautiful! I feel humbled to hear and see these women!
You’re madly in love with her!
Thank you!
She is so refreshingly unique. She is a thinker, a beautiful woman in mind, body and soul. Stay blessed👏👏👏
Her Criticizer's should remember that in this talk she hasn't mentioned Punjab or 1984 once; India is way worse than she has portrayed it here; i love and thank her for speaking the truth; She's one of the few journalists who speak for the people;
Arundhati may have her own views on Kashmir but history is testimony to the fact that the Hindu Raja o Kashmir preferred to be India. It was the Kabbalis who breached the India border and occupied what we call the POK.
The separatist was initially a small minority of people who started fuelling this thing called "Azad Kashmir" after the hanging of Maqbool Butt.
Maybe because she was talking of Kashmir?? And Kashmir isn't Punjab??
@@arjuncalidas2736 Agree. Actually there's so much mess in India we cant bring all the issue in one topic. Further listening to her I realize that Pakistan government/establishment whatever u may call it, only talks of Kashmiri pain but maybe not that deeply interested, they never quoted Arundhati, nor made a single movie, or tv serial on Kashmir. Maybe their own establishment is kinda infected by CIA agents and corporate mafia so much that both Indian and Pakistani establishments feels like they are on one side.
@@vincentdsouza233 George VI was Emperor of British India in 1947, he preferred British India to remain a colony of the British Empire. It was only Gandhi who fuelled on a small minority of "traitors" by staging a march and throwing salt into the sea, giving rise to this massive movement who wanted to separate from Britain in the name of "Swarajya/home rule/azad hindustan'.
Realize how ridiculous your statement seems now?
You mean 'critic', don't you?
awesome
Love and much respect for Arundhati from Pakistan and Kashmir
She is real voice of oppressed ppl of India
Pramod Shinde educate your people please 🙏
She is very honest writer.
Great arundati roy, brave, and reveals truth.... Which indians cant digest or listen. Atrocities of indian agencies and govt is much higher then she has told is
she chooses her words convienently...has an extremely selective memory
Yep indeed she is a very courageous and a brave woman. I am quite afraid for her physical safety in a shit country like India where women are being raped and killed every day.. God knows how many do get raped everyday! Very scary! I pray may God keep her safe!
Not all of us sister. Just some bigots who refuse to pull their heads out of there bottoms.
Arundhati Roy changed my life
nop9one who?
Great personality
Alice Walker has a soothing voice. 😌
Huge respect for you ma'am
Well said
She is a revolutionary.Bravo!!!
ANKIT PANDEY Rev-loot ion.
very proud of her.....our own 'snowden'
😍
It was in San Francisco
In some awesome way ... She is really really beautiful ...
She is an Indian, she does not have to fear about getting killed in India for saying something like that. Can you imagine someone in Pakistan or any Islamic country to talk anything against the state and not fear for their life. The fact is India is struggling with some social issues like America did(and still is) with racism. We are a strong democracy, its no hindu hegemonistic society. Kashmir is a complex problem, stopping pakistan sponsored terrorism we will quickly bring peace to the valley
she is only safe because she is smart and have become powerful eventually. She is known in the world well. She speaks truth !
"She does not have to fear about getting killed in India for saying something like that." Well, I guess that means that there is absolutely nothing to criticize India about. That clears that up.
Who says that she doesn't need to fear now?
What about Kalburgi & Gauri Lankesh?
Bcoz she has the right speak, that's why she is exercising her right? What's wrong with that?
What ur trying to say is that if u r safe & have the right to speak then u must not speak against!! What sort of illogic is this?
If only such freedom was afforded to others in India wishing to speak out like her but who don't have a Booker prize and an international following making it impossible for them to be silenced. The fact that continues to speak freely is testament to Arundhati's fame, not India's tolerance.
It's amazingly great to see one of the greatest novelist of today's world, the author of masterpiece The Color Purple, Alice Walker, wearing a Kashmiri shawl, speaking about the occupation on Kashmir.
Great minds are unbiased!
And hats off to Arundati Roy, who stands with truth!
#Inspiring!
A Perfect voice of India
I have a crush on this lady ❣️❣️❣️
"Too much representation and too little democracy" is totally accurate to the practice." What has happened to the activity of petitioning of the government, as was a central idea of the Declaration of Independence? Too little direct petitioning, and way too much of, "Send a letter to your representative".
Warrior of resistance.
Amazing recording David and crew. Watching part 2 next.
2. I cannot understand whether India's stand of "protecting" Kashmir is right or wrong. Because if INDIA give kashmir to its people then a series of other states like Punjab, tamil nadu will also have to be released. They are all willing to have independence.
vizz No state of India should ever be separated .
Arundhati Roy goes out of her way to appear ragged and poor, despite being a millionaire herself. I guess it works with the Western audience. I will point out a few things here:1 Kashmir was not an independent Kingdom, it was on the Council of Princely states. Balochistan was an independent Kingdom. 2 Kashmir has the choice between living under Indian, Pakistani or Chinese rule. Aazadi, if at all they get it will last for 5 minutes.
it is to her own credit that she is a millionaire. she is a successful writer because she does not look or speak thru the coloured glasses of patriotism, nationalism ans bigotry. the secondly there is a thing called simplicity. all people who have money do not show off least of them intellectuals.
+Gaiti Ara I am not one of those 'nationalists'. Arundhati does raise some valid points esp abour Ambedkar and Salwa Judum. But to call the democracy in India a farce and saying the Judiciary is dominated by upper castes is a tad too much.
good to know that otherwise i read allkinds of curses for arundhati
+Gaiti AraMost of them are urban upper middle class rabble. They are a minority in India even though they get a lot of media coverage.
❤️
Because of same reason you are coming here to make a comment.
She is one among breaking India forces !
no she is not the reason indian forces are committing suicides. think ! ! !
india can be proud about its great wise woman! Roy, Shiva, Chatterjee, they will change their country and the world.
Economic entities communicate through transfer of money. Our problem is not that businesses seek profit or consumers look for low prices. Our problem is that seeking profit aligns with causing harm. We can correct this defect by making prices honest. IF we charge hefty fees to industries when they emit pollution, deplete natural resources or destroy wildlife habitat, industries will profit by trying to *reduce* harm.
If we share proceeds from environmental impact fees to all people, we will end poverty.
Fees are high enough when we are able to take random surveys and find that most people think that this and that particular kind of impact is not being carried to excess. When environmental impacts match what most people think is acceptable, fees are high enough.
where was this? I want arundhati to come to london!
MrCazh and keep her there please.
and your point about being a christian is?
That she clearly is a Hinduphobic traitor to her people.
जिसचीज की भारत से आशा है , क्या वे संसार मे हैंभी ?
From which book is this extract??
Naxal
If she is prime minister she would let every village to be a independent country thank God you were administrator not politician
Thank you, Arundhati, for your courage, for you so precise sight, for your strong, powerful tenderness for everybody
A couple of minutes of Arundhati's enlightened voice and demeanour effortlessly put to ridicule all the sadly short--sighted, ignorant and hate-twisted comments by the deluded and propagandized.
arudatha rai is birch you have courage come to hydrabad
You can't change systems only privelaged few have the opportunity to speak out. Many voices against injustices Have been silenced . One sparrow does not make a spring. One voice cannot change overnight. Jesus was crucified. Many so called liberator's die and despite their words against this world ,will die and only their words will remain.
Democracy: whether or not exists in a country can not be blamed entirely, the whole culture system, caste system, religious practices, practices and traditions are resposible as well, esp in India. What about Nehru's promise to separate Kashmir?
Talk about the attack by pakistan in 1947 by kabailis
Uhm, she did?
She also called Pakistan a broken country with no democracy, a genocidal army, riven with ethnic tensions. Did you not listen to the speech at all? Lol
proud of like such authors
Talk about imposition of sharia law in East London so what do you suggest england to be a islamic shari law country
She is twisting the arms.
pls should be offered some role in Hollywood by west. she is great actor. she just see one angle.. i.e. oppose and downplay her own country all the time.
+Ajay Singh you should be offered a role in Bollywood/Disneyland

भारत के उत्तरी भाग में हिंदी सबसे अधिक बोली जाती है। भारतीय जनगणना अनुसार हिंदी में अनेक हिंदी भाषाएँ सम्मिलित हैं। 2001 के भारतीय जनगणना अनुसार भारत की 45% आबादी हिंदी जानती है और 25% लोगों की यह मातृभाषा है।
देश में 45% हिन्दी बोलने वाले लोग हैं अर्थात भारत में सबसे ज्यादा बोली जाने वाली भाषा लेकिन उनके पास प्रमाणिक जानकारी उपलब्ध नहीं है
इसलिए वह सुनी सुनाई बातों को ही प्रमाणिक मानते हैं। जो लोग शिक्षित हैं और अंग्रेजी या अन्य भाषाओं को जानते हैं वे उन तथ्यों को cros - check कर लेते हैं।
BIMARU या बिहार,मध्यप्रदेश,राजस्थान,उत्तर प्रदेश,उत्तराखंड,झारखण्ड आदि राज्यों में यह स्थिति और भयानक है वहाँ शिक्षा का स्तर भी बहुत बेहतर नही है ।
2001 से 2011 के बीच में 10 करोड़ लोगों का हिन्दी बोलने में इजाफा हुआ है लेकिन प्रमाणिक जानकारी कैसे उपलब्ध हो उसका उपाय नही किया गया है।
Arundhati mam, I LOVE YOU. Will you please marry me?...
Haaaa noooooooooo wayyyyy
Birjas ....What? Would you like to give her one.????? You know what I mean
Ms Roy u were mocking the great intellectual; learned and capable Mr.Manmohan singh back then ..who unassumingly , unobtrusively kept consolidating the economic ,social framework of India in his own quiet way. I'm sure many people would do anything to have him back... hope u realise your mistake today.
she goes to foreign countries and talk to people who knows little about india and they are like a empty pot and then she fills them with very untrue and grim picture of india. India is not such a country. If you really want to see India come and roam around a bit,you will get the feel. We always ask kashmiris to live with us comfortably but they always revolt back.If we give kashmir independence what about khalistan,dravidistan,naxalistan and whole of east india.
Mam, I am waiting for the day when you will discuss about 26.11 Mumbai attack done by Pakistan.
man Pakistan didn't do it.. you need to dig deeper.. They feed you this dis-information through media because it is easy to digest.
You dig more
How about her Brahminphobia at 11:39?
@@saadomar1101 Brother we no don't need suggestions from terrorists
The valley was peaceful and prosperous before the armed struggle. Let Pakistan stop its insurgency and we would be happy to demilitarize the valley. Arundhati Roy does not give the complete picture to her audience. Taking an idealistic stand is easy, but being pragmatic is necessary for survival. Kashmir is integral to India's security.
Who’s is Real Kashmirs look at History please 🙏
L O T U S L E A F a Lotusleaf production yep no mention of the ancient Kashmiri people living In hovels 11:39 Brahminphobia!!!
It's very important for educated mass not take take her words wisdom for truth. I dont want to influence anybody'd thought process but urge you to carefully try to understand the situation by yourself. Sometimes I wonder if this abandoned child Ms Roy has been manipulated by her first found love that she don't understand what she is speaking and carefully learnt the art of uttering right word to falsely appease the western word. For instance, has she spoken a single word about the kashmiri pandits who have been crucified the most on millions of numbers in kashmir? dont believe me? just search the word kashmiri pandit genocide by jihadi muslims in kashmir and judge her authenticity by yourself. Now, ask yourself why this soft spoken lady hasn;t spoken about pandits through out her speech.
Pls use subtitle in english or hindi
After monarchy and communism, democracy is also failing everywhere
Supper u. I want. To. See. For. Love. Pure love
Thanks, but some of us are more impressed by many others. And some of us are just plain unimpressed by her.
Why she cannot see the pain of Kashmiri Pandits??? Why her only concern is about Muslims?? If she is truthful, she should raise the issues of both of the sides. She is using the global platform to defame her own motherland.
you don't get it, because you don't listen and seek the truth... how ignorant can you be ?
Uhm, she did? She spoke about targeted violence against the pandits, justice for them, reparations for all theyve suffered, the dangers of victims of oppression themselves becoming perpetrators..did you even listen to her speech? Lol
She also spoke about how it was impossible for her to understand how an idea of freedom rooted in Islam could mean freedom at all...Not to mention the fact that she spoke about Pakistan being ruled by military dictators, having a genocidal army, etc etc. Nobody in good faith can say Arundhati is biased in her call for justice for everyone no matter who they are
Kashmiri people includes Kashmiri pundits.... She forgot it!
Rakesh Sarvabhotla ..plz see the whole video first....then ur comment will be useless...
Whatever this fearless truthfull writer & Political humanist activist Had said it is Tip of an ice berg .how innocent kashmiries Are brutally tortured some burned alive & their properties damaged by firing rockets on their houses are Mind blowing .In too punjab sikhs are too labeled as terrorists and disappeared KILLED & jailed but with very less intensity not only this seven north eastern STATES people are treated like RABID Dogs KILLED & disappeared .same is the case in central india where TRIBAL & some peasants land was forceably taken away by Governments for development without giving any compensation to the owners of land which was leased to Big Multibillioners capitalist to excavate Iron aluminium or Some important minerals or installed some factories mostly hazardous to local surroundings. There too people have no choice but to take arms as said by this Saintly ARUN DHATI ROY.IF ANY ONE DON'T TRUST ARUNDHATI ROY JI JUST GOOGLE OR CZcams SEARCH .INDIAN ATROCITIES in KASHMIR.But for good information kashmiries are not better too in PAKISTAN Administered kashmir.
.
She is always talking against so liberal Hindus, BJP, RSS.
She never talks about Islamic terrorism, She never speaks how Hindus we’re killed during partition, She never talks Why and how real owners, citizens of Kashmir -Kashmiri Pandits were kicked, killed out of there homes, Kashmiri pandit girls were raped, converted. She is so inhuman Who for the sake of fame and to be popular in Islamic manuplates/distorte the truth.
Bakwas... Comparing Amarnath yatra and Israelis settlement..
One has to admit with an honest heart, that Arundhati Roy speaks with an ease, which enviable and repulsive at the same time.. What she often dismisses as her own freedom, and the oppression by the Indian state, is her prejudice, her malicious psychological make-up, is something which the Indian state gave blood to protect, through police officers, army-men, and even civilian personnel.. It is thus imperative, that she be put in Kashmir for good, not allowed to move to write or scream, and then witness the true oppression (social, economical, political) that comes from our neighbors; this being followed after so called Azaad Kashmir..
its all one sided view of her observation on kashmir .. so many army men are not to subjugate people of kashmir .. but it is to protect against pakistani infiltrators
again...what you say is from indian media and bollywood brainwashing....
don't be a victim !
she is selling despair ..
truth is what she speaks.
one with the heart of truth seeking can see that only.
Am against any kind of verbal abuse - but GOD knows am tempted.
Most of what she has said here is out of context.
Thats cheating.
And thats not being intelligent. Its just being clever.
I feel unadulterated fury at her shameless audacity to brazenly twist facts out of context.
You fooled a doting-drooling-hanging-on-to-your-every-word-syllable innocent audience but I sincerely hope that your parents reprimand you in private for your unabashed clever fibbing.
700 000 Indian troops in Kashmir? Er so who’s guarding the rest of India? Whoops forgot you’re a fiction writer! Got it!
Ivar Hakuse 🤣 I can imagine Alice getting numbers wrong but I can’t imagine her not doing any research before the talk. I get very frustrated with her sometimes. Especially about Cuba and Israel.
Hahahah. You are so ignorant in an unfunny way.
She criticizes for the sake of criticizing!!!!! Your criticism is pointless Arandhati. Look at the forest, rather than a few trees.
this woman can do anything to sell her book, she can even sell her soul, that's exactly what she is doing.
I am now convinced she is not an intellectual but a true hypocrite. A contrarian for the heck of it.
Why do u think that?
brahmanas had knowledge but were barred from working for money, hence they had no wealth, there were no printing presses so knowledge was preserved through memorising huge texts which takes up a lot of time and effort, military power was held by kshatriyas, financial power was actually with the vaishyas who did business and trade. mass power was with the majority workers who were called shudras, this is how society flourished and india was the richest country of the world, accounting for more than 30% of world gdp. then 1500 years back islam appeared and started islamic invasions of india, looting the country,.plundering our wealth, destroying our temples, and killing brahmanas who were in charge of temples and were repositories of knowledge, these regular islamic invasions weakened our country and then we were enslaved by islamic occupation for hundreds of years, muslims systematically oppressed tortured and killed the brahmanas to destroy our dharma, our culture, our civilisation. our temples, our way of life, brahmanas never had any power and were oppressed by invaders and occupiers, so it is a complete fallacy to say that the poor brahmanas exploited anyone, infact brahmanas have suffered the most atrocities
High quality fiction
What about Pakistan's hand in other half of Kashmir.
kashmir in Pakistan is not kashmir... We don't control our media like india does. I do believe we should control our media like india does.
Noticed that comments on ms Roy on the Flanders show talking on Gandhi have been turned off!!! Guess it’s because those who are awake, wide awake to ms Roy’s seditious statements have been denied a voice and simply got switched off!!! Weirdly her ideas there were simply rehashed plagiarisms of who she calls the Hindu Right!!! Funny!!!
Her present host here is unfortunately equally ignorant on the Kashmiri people, those Hindus who were subject to Islamic Jihad genocide and those hundreds of thousands of Hindu refugees who not only have no voice but whose voice is denied them by people like Roy. Refugees in their own land.
Educated people of India regard her as shit and she knows it, it’s easy to get standing ovations from the ignorant ms Roy please revel in it while it lasts. The host lauded ms Roy’s parents for educating her, well hurray for her parents! Welcome Roy to the world of highly educated articulate and powerful women of India, please take your seat amongst the other millions of them. You were brought up in a predominantly Hindu country where the attitude to women is different to that in Islamic countries or places with Islamic majorities such as Kashmir.
Er ms Roy are you suffering Brahminphobia!!!! ‘Cunning Brahmanical’ 11:39 hold on ms Roy!!!! Firstly you yourself admit to writing fiction! Secondly you just made a brahminphobic statement!!! You just disparaged and insulted millions of Hindus in one brush stroke!!! Easy to make statements on easy targets try an islamophobic statement!! Notice how no one else seems to have picked up on Roy’s prejudicial statement here!
People such as roy are those who have identified an international niche ie funding for human rights activism and know how to play the game well, get invited to presentations like these, get paid for 1st class air tickets, stay in 5star hotels and wine and dine. If you ask her in which way she has made a positive contribution, any project she was involved in anything on the grassroots level she has nothing to offer! Not a single act other than build expensive houses on protected national park sanctuaries!!!
She basically is a lier only.
Anti-national बुद्धिजीवी
Why the hell she doesn't speak anything about those Kashmiri Pandits who were forcefully thrown out from their own home land Kashmir.
Stop clapping and try listen the pain of Kashmiri pandits.
She is a pure nonsense only.
I really wonder how you elites extending applause to her without knowing details of Kashmir. Please cross check her statements and then only praise her. She basically has chosen a calculated path to get easy way to gain popularity.
Sorry, she is not a great writer. She is a high profile nonsense only.
but she is blunt.
She will be part of Karma that india will face.
Lotta respect for her.
@@saadomar1101 There is nothing called karma. What british faced for all the crimes they did. What muslims have faced for all the crimes they did to spread islam.
