[Reader-list] ARUNDHATI - PUBLICITY HUNGER

[Bipin Trivedi]

Guha says, "She's crazy. Arundhati Roy has become a joke, a publicity
fiend," Guha told Bangalore Mirror. "She hops from cause to cause, and just
look at the company she's keeping ... the likes of Syed Ali Shah Geelani, an
ultimate bigot who wants to keep women in purdah and bring in an Islamic
theocracy."

While posting maoist topic discussion read my view on Arundhati as under:
(1) When asked the question to Arundhati that most of people hate your views
and writing and believe your thought impractical. She replies, if whole of
India hate me I have to believe I am wrong. Then why you waiting for,
understand this and come back from your wrong belief now. This proves that
she is just after negative and chip publicity. (2) Even government wants
Arundhati to be mediator between the government and maoist, but she denies.
This is also creates doubt on her sincerity. What I think, she wants just
mere publicity out of this and wants to create a show that she worried of
tribal! By that way, she wants to increase sale of her books and reader
audience.

Same thing applicable now also. Kashmir problem is there since almost after
independence and its intensity increased since 2 decades, but I have not
heard any comment earlier for this issue. So, why now? She always remain of
search of current hot topics and sensitized it to catch attention of media
just for mere chip publicity. Dear Tara, you are right, after her shared
stage with crook Geelani, many like you became her critics.

Thanks
