Still, to say that it all began when Sophie Mol came to Ayemenem is only one way of looking at it . . .
It could be argued that it actually began thousands of years ago. Long before the Marxists came. Before the British took Malabar, before the Dutch Ascendancy, before Vasco da Gama arrived, before the Zamorin’s conquest of Calicut. Before Christianity arrived in a
boat and seeped into Kerala like tea from a teabag. That it really began in the days when the Love Laws were made. The laws that lay down who should be loved, and how. And how much.

At magic hour; when the sun has gone but the light has not, armies of flying foxes unhinge themselves from the Banyan trees in the old graveyard and drift across the city like smoke . . .'
So begins The Ministry of Utmost Happiness, Arundhati Roy's incredible follow-up to The God of Small Things. We meet Anjum, who used to be Aftab, who runs a guest house in an Old Delhi graveyard and gathers around her the lost, the broken and the cast out. We meet Tilo, an architect, who, although she is loved by three men, lives in a 'country of her own skin'. When Tilo claims an abandoned baby as her own, her destiny and that of Anjum become entangled as a tale that sweeps across the years and a teeming continent takes flight. . .

वर्तमान भारत में असमानता को समझने और उससे निपटने के लिए अरुंधति रॉय ज़ोर दे कर कहती हैं कि हमें राजनैतिक विकास और मोहनदास करमचंद गांधी के प्रभाव— दोनों का ही परीक्षण करना होगा। सोचना होगा कि क्यों भीमराव आंबेडकर द्वारा गांधी की लगभग दैवीय छवि को दी गई प्रबुद्ध चुनौती को भारत के कुलीन वर्ग द्वारा दबा दिया गया। रॉय के विश्लेषण में हम देखते हैं कि न्याय के लिए आंबेडकर की लड़ाई जाति को सुदृढ़ करनेवाली नीतियों के पक्ष में व्यवस्थित रूप से दरकिनार कर दी गई, जिसका परिणाम है वर्तमान भारतीय राष्ट्र जो आज ब्रिटिश शासन से स्वतंत्र है, वि स्तर पर शक्तिशाली है, लेकिन आज भी जो जाति व्यवस्था में आकंठ डूबा हुआ है।

War has spread from India’s borders to the forests in the very heart of the country.

Azaadi: Freedom. Fascism. Fiction 3 Sep, 2020

by Arundhati Roy

( 736 )

₹ 313.88 ₹ 399.00
You Save: ₹ 85.12(21%)

The chant of 'Azadi!' - Urdu for 'Freedom'-is the slogan of the freedom struggle in Kashmir against what the Kashmiris see as the Indian Occupation. Ironically, it also became the chant of millions on the streets of India against the project of Hindu nationalism.
Even as Arundhati Roy began to ask what lay between these two calls for freedom-a chasm or a bridge?-the streets fell silent. Not only in India but all over the world. Covid-19 brought with it another, more terrible, understanding of Azadi, making a nonsense of international borders, incarcerating whole populations, and bringing the modern world to a halt like nothing else ever could.
In this series of electrifying essays, Arundhati Roy challenges us to reflect on the meaning of freedom in a world of growing authoritarianism.
The essays include meditations on language, public as well as private, and on the role of fiction and alternative imaginations in these disturbing times. The pandemic, Roy says, is a portal between one world and another. For all the illness and devastation it has left in its wake, it is an invitation to the human race, an opportunity, to imagine another world.

The Doctor and the Saint: The Ambedkar-Gandhi Debate: Caste, Race and Annihilation of Caste 22 Apr, 2019

by Arundhati Roy

( 722 )

₹ 161.85 ₹ 266.70
You Save: ₹ 104.85(39%)

To best understand and address the inequality in India today, Arundhati Roy insists we must examine both the political development and influence of M.K. Gandhi and why B.R. Ambedkar's brilliant challenge to his near-divine status was suppressed by India's elite. In Roy's analysis, we see that Ambedkar's fight for justice was systematically sidelined in favor of policies that reinforced caste, resulting in the current nation of India: independent of British rule, globally powerful, and marked to this day by the caste system.

This book situates Ambedkar's arguments in their vital historical context-namely, as an extended public political debate with Mohandas Gandhi. 'For more than half a century-throughout his adult life-[Gandhi's] pronouncements on the inherent qualities of black Africans, untouchables and the laboring classes remained consistently insulting,' writes Roy. 'His refusal to allow working-class people and untouchables to create their own political organizations and elect their own representatives remained consistent too.'

In The Doctor and the Saint, Roy exposes some uncomfortable, controversial, and even surprising truths about the political thought and career of India's most famous and most revered figure. In doing so she makes the case for why Ambedkar's revolutionary intellectual achievements must be resurrected, not only in India but throughout the world.

‘The terse, typewritten note slipped under my door in a sealed envelope confirmed my appointment with “India’s single biggest internal security challenge”.

My Seditious Heart: Collected Non-fiction 21 Jun, 2019

by Arundhati Roy

( 277 )

₹ 448.99 ₹ 799.05
You Save: ₹ 350.06(44%)

My Seditious Heart collects the work of a two-decade period when Arundhati Roy devoted herself to the political essay as a way of opening up space for justice, rights and freedoms in an increasingly hostile environment. Taken together, these essays trace her twenty year journey from the Booker Prize-winning The God of Small Things to the extraordinary The Ministry of Utmost Happiness: a journey marked by compassion, clarity and courage. Radical and readable, they speak always in defence of the collective, of the individual and of the land, in the face of the destructive logic of financial, social, religious, military and governmental elites.

In constant conversation with the themes and settings of her novels, the essays form a near-unbroken memoir of Arundhati Roy's journey as both a writer and a citizen, of both India and the world, from 'The End of Imagination', which begins this book, to 'My Seditious Heart', with which it ends.

This collection of Arundhati Roy’s early political essays ranges from the iconic ‘The End of Imagination’ and ‘The Greater Common Good’ about India’s nuclear tests and the dam industry to the equally influential ‘The Algebra of Infinite Justice’ about the 9/11 attacks and the US government’s War Against Terror. Suffused with intelligence and shot through with cold fury, these writings established Roy as a major political thinker whose voice, as Naomi Klein says, ‘turns our grief and rage into courage’.

Five books of essays in one volume from the Booker Prize–winner and “one of the most ambitious and divisive political essayists of her generation” (The Washington Post).

With a new introduction by Arundhati Roy, this new collection begins with her pathbreaking book The Cost of Living—published soon after she won the Booker Prize for her novel The God of Small Things—in which she forcefully condemned India’s nuclear tests and its construction of enormous dam projects that continue to displace countless people from their homes and communities. The End of Imagination also includes her nonfiction works Power Politics, War Talk, Public Power in the Age of Empire, and An Ordinary Person’s Guide to Empire, which include her widely circulated and inspiring writings on the US invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, the need to confront corporate power, and the hollowing out of democratic institutions globally.

The Hanging of Afzal Guru and the Strange Case of the Attack on the Indian Parliament 27 Jul, 2016

by Arundhati Roy

( 214 )

₹ 203.30 ₹ 280.00
You Save: ₹ 76.70(27%)

On 13 December 2001, the Indian Parliament was attacked by a few heavily armed men. Eleven years later, we still do not know who was behind the attack, nor the identity of the attackers. Both the Delhi high court and the Supreme Court of India have noted that the police violated legal safeguards, fabricated evidence and extracted false confessions. Yet, on 9 February 2013, one man, Mohammad Afzal Guru, was hanged to ‘satisfy’ the ‘collective conscience’ of society.

This updated reader brings together essays by lawyers, academics, journalists and writers who have looked closely at the available facts and who have raised serious questions about the investigations and the trial. This new version examines the implications of Mohammad Afzal Guru’s hanging and what it says about the Indian government’s relationship with Kashmir.
