#2 How did a couple of marches and an economic boycott by the Hindus -- formerly of Kashmir, now of Jammu -- become genocide, JosephM?

I tried reading Ms. Roy's famous novel, but was unable to finish the first chapter. She writes like someone in the final stretch of a BA in creative writing.

#3 Ms Roy is as selfish as our Indian Congress I politicians. Just to become famous she is uttering non sense. Shame on you.

#4 Ms Roy has famously said that she is against the concept of nationality. She considers herself a citizen of the world.

Quite a common attitude amongst the crowd she hangs out with.

Unfortunately for her, she lives in India, a state which is quite serious about protecting its integrity.

#8 Booker Prize winner Arundhati Roy who had issued a statement advocating freedom for Kashmir was a "loose cannon" who had "abused the liberal traditions of India", the Congress said on Wednesday.

"She (Roy) is a loose cannon who has abused liberal traditions of India to its fullest," said Congress spokesperson Manish Tiwari.

"It is a great tribute to the tolerance of India's ethos that a person who openly calls for Balkanization of country is not being locked up and the keys are not being thrown away," Tiwari said.
