A Cynical View of Democracy: At Whose Behest?

arundhati roy A Cynical View of Democracy: At Whose Behest?

India is a nation that is almost a mystery for outsiders. This mystery is the result of mystification of poverty, illiteracy, superstitions, and extremely gory practices like casteism, widow burning and dowry. The country also faces the great threat of Naxals and Maoists insurgency.

Apart from these real dangers, the India nation is also plagued by opinionated “intellectuals” who seem to know what is best for the nation and everything else around them, and such advices usually drop from their mouths at the drop of a hat. One such person seems to be Ms. Arundhati Roy.

In a recent interview with Karan Thapar (A Cynical view of Democracy), she advocates giving up all military action against insurgents and pave way for anarchy. It is not clear if she just needs limelight or is financially being “supported” to make such dangerous statements.

Whatever the case might be, it is the best interest of the nation that the mainstream and online media ignore and downplay such dangerous comments and opinions which might lead to not just anarchy but also large scale violence, kidnappings, bombings and killing of innocent civilians in the name of war against the Indian government and democratic system. Will the Indian government realize its follies and take necessary decisive military actions against such treacherous insurgents?

    Violence begets only violence and these armed insurgents use innocent tribals and villagers as shield, so smart decisive action and intervention is needed. These so called ‘intellectuals’ instead of giving television interviews and doling out opinions, must ask maoists insurgents to give up arms first.
