More From Arundhati Roy

If i was asked what is the greatest treasure which india possesses and what is her finest heritage, i would answer unhesitatingly that it is the samskrit language and literature and all that it contains. this is a magnificent inheritance and so long as this endures and influences the life of our people, so long will the basic genius of india continue. if our race forgot the buddha, the upanishads and the great epics (ramayana and mahabharata), india would cease to be india .

I am for a government rigorously frugal & simple, applying all the possible savings of the public revenue to the discharge of the national debt; and not for a multiplication of officers & salaries merely to make partisans, & for increasing, by every device, the public debt, on the principle of its being a public blessing.
