Bania Bashing from Gandhi, Birlas, Ambanies, Mittals, Agarwals, Jindals: The Irrepressible Diva of Factoids, is back, with her psycho-social-eco-political witchcraft. Roy, the Diva of Factoids, feign to dislike caste angles, but uses same idioms of Bania Bashing, to lampoon what she, innately poses to hate. back with basically Superficial and age old mundane witchcraft analysis, she has been churning out. The most articulate critics of Globalization are the so called ‘progressive’ novelists of India, among them Pankaj Mishra and Arundhati Roy whom are regularly and almost exclusively invited to write about the any thing under the sun, be it politics, society and economy What they writes is really fiction masquerading as non-fiction aimed to please their,Fat left-wing editors and uninformed readers in the west.. With out the devious globalization how would Arundahti and Pankaj be writing for well paying capitalist western media. The important point is that Roy herself is a product of the market, the very corporate, she hates, derides and lampoons on 24x7 basis. The accentuated attention and space given to her by corporate controlled media, negates the rabid criticism of the entity, which has created and still feeds her. Interestingly the negligible growth rate during socialist era was termed as Hindu rate of growth by economists, who believed the blissfully contended nature of Hindus was the real reason of their lack of economic initiative. Her dreamy obsessive love with era of stagnant socialism and anger with India opening up to the world market tells own story of strongly unjustified fixations with small economy of class conflicts, low incomes and multitude of shortages. But that did not stop her from going ahead to get her book published by an international publishing house, which is as per her views must be part of expanding predatory body of corporate robbers. Her fake pulsating hate for the word “corporate” manifests the inbuilt strategy to reject modern business models, even while enjoying the accrued benefits. Or perhaps more likely wish to swim along with rabid anti market, self-loathing angst of western intellectuals like Noam Chomsky, her ideal. It would be interesting to see if she has guts to withstand the scrutiny of her ideals and beliefs by likes of Shashi Tharoor and Gurucharan Das in a televised discussion. So far she has been treated with kid gloves by the interviewers who never put counter questions, and let her babble. But she is in no way interested in any solutions of the poor’s plight. To her fancy, the fact that they have taken to guns is good enough being on the way to wage the war- the romanticized struggle towards the ultimate utopian solution-annihilation of the class enemies. It’s not that we Indians don’t need her pop witchcraft, shaking presence, and shill opposition in midst of corrupted us. It makes one feel good that we still live in a free society with all its defects and dirt along with few born twisted critics like her. Without the wholehearted support and space provided by the eternally hated capitalist, monstrous market oriented slaughter houses of multinational media, they would be no bodies, living unknown lives. Less is said about Tariq Ali is better, A fake Marxist living a easy, pampered iconic life in capitalist England.
