Con il suo consueto stile acuto e, allo stesso tempo, venato di una sottile ironia, Arundhati Roy nel nuovo libro 'Quando arrivano le cavallette', pubblicato in Italia dalla Casa Editrice Guanda, cerca di guidare il lettore occidentale nel complesso intrico di politica, religione, società ed economia della «più grande democrazia del mondo».
In questa raccolta di saggi l'autrice ci aggiorna con acume e coraggio sull'evolversi di alcune vicende indiane, e non solo, già affrontate in 'Guida all'impero per la gente comune' e in 'La strana storia dell'assalto al parlamento indiano', ma prende anche in esame avvenimenti di strettissima attualità, come gli attentati a Mumbai del novembre 2008, nell'intervento che da il titolo alla raccolta.

99% of the time I tend to gravitate strongly towards nonfiction when I'm reading... but these are some of my favorite fiction books. I should read them again.

This book is so good that I clutch it tightly whenever someone asks to borrow it. I remind them about our wonderful public library system. It is so beautifully written, that I find myself, rereading paragraphs just to hear the beauty and brilliance of the words.

the laws that lay down who should be loved and how. And how much."

Arundhati Roy is a celebrated Indian fiction writer who had made waves across the globe with her novel, “God of small things”; a story that dealt with ‘sensitive’ topics, like race, religion and love. She has, lately, turned into a mammoth social activist using her wit, wisdom and dexterity with words to thrash aspiring “empires”, be that of the US or India.
She visited Karachi, last Friday, on the invitation of an NGO. At Karachi press club she attended a program organized by a group of ‘feminist’ NGOs against Talibanization of the country. While speaking she said that her objective of visiting Pakistan was to understand ‘what exactly do you mean when you use the term Taliban”. She cautioned the audience to ‘not simplify what is complex and not complicate what is simple’.
Her opposition of the Narmada Valley Dam, a project that had jeopardized life and property of millions of impoverished communities in India, speaks volumes for her objectivity and determination. It is pertinent to note here that her frank statements rebuking the Indian brutalities in Indian occupied Kashmir had irked millions across India, including powerful politicians and opinion leaders.
Later, she addressed a press conference in which she said that future wars will be fought for water. She lamented the military activity on Siachin glacier, saying the glacier had reduced in size because of global warming, as well as military activity being carried out by the Indian and Pakistani armies. Responding to a question she said that the Indian establishment is as contaminated by the RSS (Rashtrya Sevak Sangh), as the Pakistani establishment is with pro – Taliban, Wahabi, forces.

I really admire the Indian writer Arundhati Roy. First she's a fantastic writer. On the picture above, I am holding her great book - the God of Small things.
I also admire Arundhati Roy for taking part in social activism. I got to know about her through her actions for people affected by the Narmada Dam Project in Central India www.narmada.org/gcg/gcg.html
