[Reader-list] Kashmir’s Fruits of Discord (or a discordant arundhati roy?)

[Samvit]

Pretty surprising I didn't find her taking on the Bodo's after they
killed about 20-25 people in Assam yesterday. Or were the Bodos also
part of that Conclave where we had the rookies from India's underbelly
trying to gang up?
Or maybe Arundhati and her cronies feel that they would NOT make much
news if they talk about the Bodos or the people who were murdered.
Perhaps Arundhati and co are yet to decide which side to butter!!!
