Arundhati Roy at home and work: activist, writer and filmmaker on The God of Small Things

- Arundhati Roy does not fit into any stereotype. She belongs to a fringe which believes in living life by breaking rules but if she may seem a rebel without a cause Arundhati Roy has proven skeptics wrong by donning new roles time and again. Architect, screenwriter, filmmaker, activist and now writer. Arundhati today writes high crest of her life with the first book 'The God Of Small things'.
Arundhati Roy is an Indian author, actress, and political activist who was best known for the award-winning novel The God of Small Things (1997) and for her involvement in environmental and human rights causes.
Roy’s father was a Bengali tea planter, and her mother was a Christian of Syrian descent who challenged India’s inheritance laws by successfully suing for the right of Christian women to receive an equal share of their fathers’ estates. Though trained as an architect, Roy had little interest in design; she dreamed instead of a writing career. After a series of odd jobs, including artist and aerobics instructor, she wrote and costarred in the film In Which Annie Gives It to Those Ones (1989) and later penned scripts for the film Electric Moon (1992) and several television dramas.
The films earned Roy a devoted following, but her literary career was interrupted by controversy. In 1995 she wrote two newspaper articles claiming that Shekhar Kapur’s film Bandit Queen exploited Phoolan Devi, one of India’s most wanted criminals in the early 1980s and a heroine of the oppressed. The columns caused an uproar, including a court case, and Roy retreated from the public and returned to the novel she had begun to write.

May in Ayemenem is a hot, brooding month.
The god of small things 🌌🌧☀️
Ammu,
The days are long and humid. The river shrinks and, black crows gorge on bright mangoes in still dustgreen trees. Red bananas ripen. Jackfruits burst. Dissolute bluebottles hum vacuously in the fruity air. Then they stun themselves against clear windowpanes and die, simply baffled in the sun.
The days are long and humid.
The level of detail she went through describing a simple small thing... god of small things
She's illogical
@@omdave1008 that would be you, sir.
@Om Dave yeah very beautifully illogical
Watching the demeanour, hairstyle & the style of conversation of young Arundhati Roy makes me feel like I'm seeing Rahel from "The God Of Small Things"❤
GOST is ultimate book of books.....transcendental way to plunge into the very core of small things which essentially form the essence of life. High literary acumen, insight, satirical tone, left spaces for 'Reading between the lines..' everything make this book unique as the lexical findings of what we call Life. Arundhati has such a divine aura and authorial prowess that any one with great amount of atheism would adore her pagan...She is the most precious gem on earth. I would listen or see her with my last breaths....
The days are long and humid. The river shrinks and black crows gorge on bright mangoes in still, dustgreen trees.
I have recently read 'The god of small things'... you looks like a Rahel and Ammu....
I just finished her book "The God of Small Things". I couldn't believe how someone can write so beautifully about human emotions. Rahel, Eastha, Ammu, Velutha, Chaku, Sophie, all the charatcters are written so beautifully. Loved this book. I suggest you to give it a try, you won't regret.
Really brother? Its a very good book but i have never felt like rhat, may be cuz i know its literature and there are lot of books which are written more beautifilly and brilliantly than god of small things..
@@claustrophobic0015 okay, I haven't read much of literature, so I'm limited edition but I would love to broaden my horizon if could suggest some other book?
@@MOHDAHMED-xk9hy no bro i didnt mean that..iam also frm kerela and cultural dufference may also play a role, the story was hard to imagine in a kerela background and .personally i felt there are some flaws in her writing like lack of structure and all, if u have read lot of fictions u might have felt the entire scene happening infront of u like wstching a film but in this book there was a lack of description too conversation happems, characters move, scenes begin, scenes end like that.
You should also readbhagaladeshi writer tashnima narshim
@@MOHDAHMED-xk9hy is it good than Quran..
I can see Ammu and Rahel in her locks..her eyes and the stone in her nose that sparkles a lot sometimes and sometimes not.
Yes U r there
She is from my town. I recently listened to her speeches at different universities all over the world.
She is really a great person, intelligent and really exposing the inhuman attitude of elites towards the marginalised people. She is telling the truth .
johnson thomas she belongs to leftist elites you idiot
Johnsons she is a piece of shit
she is a piece of big brown shit
Finest bitch ,nothing else
Yes typical champagne socialist who lives in luxury but takes a dig at capitalism 😂😂😂
Please have some mercy for Kashmiri Pandits 🇮🇳
Which part of our country does she reside in? Send her to Afghanistan! She is not a clean person, shaking hands with a terrorist, they are the pests!
I‘m from Russia,and this book was really touching.Sending you all 💗 love. Arhundati is really great writer.The language is amazing.
Listening now and The God of Small Things on my lap.
I hope I will enjoy reading this.
Always wanted to read her work. Thank to "Quarantine."
Ma'am 🙏.Being a student of Eng.lit. you are my all time favourite author.
Read it merely to improve and enhance your English writing skills but do not let her writings influence your thoughts. She is an urban naxal!
She's a beaut
I for some reason don’t see many people talk the way she does. Full of understanding of what she’s been doing yet having a clear head.
I bow before you for being a great multi faceted personality. Will surely love to see n listen your views n videos on social, political n economic issues of India.
I wish the background music wasn't so loud.
She is my Superwoman.
Yes she is really super women
Why have I watched this video 548 times already????
bcz you are a deaf and dumb for reality or seduction about a woman like her
@@user-bl8wj5cn9n आप पहले थोड़ा English सीख लीजिए भाई साहब.. फ़िर comment करियेगा.. मैंने यहाँ Rhetorical Question पूछा है.. अपने चूतियापा का रायता कहीं और फैलाये. जय श्री राम.
@crusader jack crusader jack tqq
Because her book made you fall in love with literature.
Maybe you are jobless
I love this woman so much!
David Linx you are proper in love!
Arunaduty roy meet Kashmiri leaders
amiya pradhan Will you please elaborate how Arundathi is a traitor? Throwing pots and pans in air will only lead to confusion and chaos. Just make sure to do a bit of research on her and her writings and then come to conclusion. That will be highly appreciated.
David Linx This woman is such a beauty, a wonderful and fearless lady with a golden heart.
David Linx you will find many peaceful hindus here. 🤣🙄😅😂
im following her speech juz for te sake of learning her english proficiency
The god of sudden smiles....the God of goosebumps .......the god of small things....
Thanks for the episode
Fully radicalised
How dare she speak for the poor ryt?
🇧🇷 estou gostando muito dessa autora✨✊🏻
I was fortunate enough to be there when she delivered a fierce speech at FTII protest in Delhi. It was a finest moment in my life
Ye bitta karate ki gf h

God she is so beautiful.... Artistic beauty she holds.
Arundhati roy ✍👌🙏
Such great writer..god of small things..it's kind of poetry in motion. Rahel,esthapan..Ammu..all r so close to heart.. hundred times I search ayemenem on Google, saw images..that rivel..most sentiment work. ..
Lokesh Sonkusare... I also read that crap book.... Full-of leftist approach...
Leftist think different, but dumb.
@@20vivekpandey Go read exam warriers then 😄
One who is proud of India should because of this writer....she is my favourite Indian writer....
Love you Arundhati Roy ❣❣
Salute to her she is raising her voice in India against exploitation
I loved the bgm
Pure love for her and her struggle.

Luv u mam.. Its very nice speech...
Ow my my , how the author has captured the abstract feelings, experiences to the minutest of fractions.
How well delved to bring out the essence by apt and hitting comparisons .
' Ridges of muscle ... like divisions on a slab of chocolate ' . etc etc etc
Still in awe of this masterpiece. Still torn with the death of Velutha..
Ammu,Estha and Rahel ❤️
Her mind is exceptionally wonderful, her eyes seek out every detail and the book she created breathes life in a worn-out soul. Thanks to one of my close friends who likes to read deep meaningful books to recommend me this book and me reading it one day before exam just to end up crying feel alive again.

CREEP ALERT
RAPE of the locksmith
@@snehaaggarwal7256 It wasn't directed to you so I don't understand wtf you're on about
@@snehaaggarwal7256 what crap!
@@snehaaggarwal7256 that's quite a unique way of introducing yourself
So good to see you all saying good word for her.... She should say thanks to God that all after all she is born in Indian and not in China .....
You are great Arundhati love you
Old Arundhati...💛💞
Biggest fan of your work Mam!!!!!
She is beautiful.
Lady...of negative...and.. dangerous.. ideology...
Omg I love you madam....your all works are great and very touchy... thank you so much ma'am
Judging by some of the comments here, it seems that voicing a concern / exploring the reasons for the existence of the poor people and their deprivations invites contempt and insults......very weird and different than the Indians I grew up with.
I would have thought she would be loved, respected and admired.
Shaheer Ahmed ... I first though her work was noble,my thoughts changed, when realized her agenda’s very sneaky .... it’s a Foreign funded NGÔ and their aim is negative propaganda
to SM27nov ... if you're just taking a piss I can ignore you.....but if you are seriously trying to have a discussion about her, you should not simply make assertions like you did without backing them up with facts and logical reasoning.. For instance you have to give reasons for the change in your thinking ,i.e. , why you think she has a ' sneaky agenda ' and why you think it's ' foreign funded negative propaganda '......it would help if you could actually quote her words that make you think so ....
Shaheer Ahmed Very well said. Higly appreciated.
Hey, even I thought her work to be good. But after going through some of her interviews which she has given to foreign medias called her own country people non-intellectual, wanted hatred to be rooted in the hearts of people for some political agenda, I am out.
She want divided india and indians...only anti nationalist will support her and she will get support from them...people like her is a cancer for india
..wake up if your true Indian...
Salute to you Mam from the core of my heart for true humanism in you. JAI BHIM,
Wonderful dear friend. I really liked it .Wish you happy times..👍🌳💚🌺🌹Like,3🍀
I love your character mam
Great writer
She is beautiful...❤️
He made no footprints on sand...no ripples on water..
I love this woman SOOOO much!!
Arundhuti Roy is also film maker on the story of her great book
Truly It's a great motivation for me
You cannot forget Estha, Rahel or Velutha for sure. I read it 20 years back. I still remember that Muralidharan at railway crossing.
She is a great inspiration.great humanist.i pray to God for her long life
Arundhati Roy, full name Suzanna Arundhati Roy

@maddy gamer kya hi bologe inko khudko woke samjhte hai aur ye word bhi inke dwara hi banaya gya hai
Brilliant, beautiful and brave.
She is exactly the opposite of all of what u mentioned above...
I disagree, matey.
Soundhealer I agree. And ask her for marriage 🤣
MAF I wish you the best of luck in that endeavor, mate.
She is not brave she is bloody dammm Islamic terror lover and a traitor
And a dangerous venom
You should mention Date in description.
What a talented woman
Yes she is having talent in destroying india...
I want a bff like Arundhati😊
But unfortunately she is not he but is instead she.
@@mudasirbashir8189 bff= best friend forever
Boy, sure do I!

A strong woman and a great writer. 💕 and a beauty as well.
Arundhuti Roy is the Architect Screen writter filmmaker activist and writter and today writtes high crest of her life with first book The God of Small Things it is good quality of an individual
I love her
You can see in her eyes and realize that it's from her personal experience.
I think Arudhanti looks like kangna Ranaut and farha Naaz mix-up
I love this woman. She is my crush.
See the irony of life and bustle that plays around, I could spend good reading time, when I got my leg plastered. There is always something good in His plan 👍
Arundhati always speak the truth without any fear. We often see her to the right side I mean she is very honest to her profession and inner soal. Common people have given their own Noble prize to her very early before. Now we are eagerly waiting when the Noble committee will honour her.
Their should be one more flower on her crown . One of the best antinational, i expect no good comment for this. It is not ur fault!
i love you..your voice entices me!!
Oh my God, she too has the same nose pin like Rahep
I read your book in the age of 15,now 2 years passed,i really love ur book...and I still remember the word "Dust to dust dust to dust"...I can't forget Raphael,estapan,Ammu,sophia....💚love you mam...
One of the few intellectual lefts in the country.

I am in love with this lady. 😬
aksar gareebon k liye ladne waale kuchh time baad khud ameer ho jaate hain.. 🙂
Or gareeb wahi reh jaate hai!
Woh pehle se ameer log h..
Arundhati has balls of steel
No, she has the ovaries of steel.
She's so beautiful
Ammu, I was imagining like Arundhati.....
Roy is a Bahujan writer.....
I’d want to be her friend
I admire her so much. I like her Indian name too!
Good luck to yours writing skills and experience.....
