requoted if you will. and what are these artists have to say about a nation racked by religious conflicts gender based violence and environmental degradation. and against prosimian india is just one but as you are buying fall soon it's a new kind of consumerism for first she's one of india's best known contemporary authors writing in english and a vocal critic of the injustices of indian society our own daddy roy we visit the booker prize winning novelist. she appears almost out of nowhere from the chaos of old delhi's street life our growing. up one of india's best known authors and most prominent critics of her debut novel the god of small things catapulted her to fame she's donated much of the royalties including her booker prize money to charity roy is a respected com. taters one who draws the ire of hindu nationalists although her

admirers fear for her safety she refuses to be seen as a martyr. but people. and i mean i'm always invited of course to present myself as this low voice who is taking on so many people and i'm so alone and i'm so brave but that's not true you know i don't know any in fact who has more arms around them then myself in this country yet roy has only written two novels twenty years after her first in twenty seventeen she published the ministry of utmost happiness a journey through modern india spanning decades critical and provocative it's no easy read. i didn't want to write oh no we didn't civilised no or the idea of what people think of normal should be you know not to write something smooth then easily digestible like baby food. one of her central

concerns is the conflict between india and pakistan over kashmir the author and activist calls it a war of religion the hindu state of india she says is we're pressing its northern most state because it's majority is muslim. she describes how protracted violence has traumatized the people of kashmir where more than forty thousand have been killed since independence. since nineteen forty seven there's not been a thing day when the indian army has not been deployed within its quote unquote border against its quote unquote own people not think. she's also critical of the west which she says has been blinded by colorful cliched images of india and adopted an idealist. view of the country one that overlooks the

rise of hindu nationalism to take the political pressure group r.s.s. roys says it's not just it's brown uniforms that we call germany's fascists on whom the organization was modeled when it was founded in one thousand twenty five the r.s.s. is ideology is geared to implementing hindu majority rule through violence especially against muslims. we have not come to the stage where people are being liquidated in concentration camps know what you're talking about and i do you not only do that feels very sympathetic to that kind of thing and that is not an exaggeration. but it is strong criticism of a country that is known as the world's largest democracy prime minister narendra modi is an avowed hindu nationalist but talks about modernizing the country and women's empowerment all just lip service says roy and not just from him protests

over rape cases only started after women from upper classes became the victims the problem is india's caste system which no one is interested in dismantling. rapists normalised thing within the class hierarchy is it so normal for upper class men to just believe they own the bodies of no women you know when that huge protests happen but if part of me was a little bit wary of. is there a hierarchy of rape victims and do some rapes count as a very not. roy has also criticised the man with veered as the father of india mahatma gandhi her comments accusing him of discrimination because he accepted the caste system prompted outrage she was called hysterical loud and shrill terms often used to describe women whose. uncomfortable truths she says but

she can live with that. all doesn't hurt me i mean you know what would really hurt me is if they said they loved me. back or. aren't actually roy champion of politically sensitive causes who's never been afraid to speak her mind what humor and warmth she encourages all of us to approach india with a critical and open mind. from delhi to germany where the exhibition facing india showcases thought provoking work by a new generation of indian women artists. a billion at the center of conspiracy in full sprint papered with images of india's

sprawling capital delhi. face masks an essential accessory the city is blanketed with stifling smog. performance piece and photo documentary breath by breath. collected polluted air different locations across the city would have put a fly catcher. you know there cans for seal in india so they're coming from australia or canada or from between which are really expensive so it's just one but it's your buying you know it's a new kind of consumerism which i wanted to talk about. that underscores the tenor of the show facing india is no exhibition of folklore from a multi-ethnic nation it unflinchingly addresses modern realities on the subcontinent. and its viewpoints is exclusively female. lotteries work focuses on environmental concerns the. the moon is
