Dealing with Arundhati Roy and her ilk.

If you have noticed, the only time we talk about Arundhati Roy is when she does something outrageous. For example going to Pakistan and hanging out with known India haters or interview on Al Jazeera or calling Maoists Gandhians with guns etc. Other than that one does not get to hear about her. Her writing career is limited to one book and J D Salinger she ain’t!!! So the only way she can stay in the limelight, which SHE LOVES, is by her very transparent antics like saying / doing outrageous things so people will get riled up and talk and say things about her even if most of it is such vile stuff that we cannot put it in print.
Publicity, positive or otherwise is the lifeblood for such people. You deny them that and they will whither away. Unfortunately, the stuff she says gets everyone’s blood boiling and people play right in her hands.
So let us take a vow. We will not get upset about her antics and ignore her. That is the only way to get rid of her. She poses no real threat to India because no one gives a rat’s fundaments to what she says. Deny her the publicity she so desperately seeks and this wretched excuse of an Indian will go away.There are bigger threats to India in the media who, because of their bully pulpits, can do real damage. Let us do something about them.
