The indian government has managed to turn the concept of nonviolence on its head. nonviolent resistance and nonviolent governance. unlike, say, china or turkey or indonesia, india doesn't mow down its people. it doesn't kill people who are refusing to move. it just waits it out. it continues to do what it has to do and ignores the consequences.

More From Arundhati Roy

I myself would go for nonviolence if it was consistent, if everybody was going to be nonviolent all the time. i'd say, okay, let's get with it, we'll all be nonviolent. but i don't go along with any kind of nonviolence unless everybody's going to be nonviolent. if they make the ku klux klan nonviolent, i'll be nonviolent. if they make the white citizens council nonviolent, i'll be nonviolent. but as long as you've got somebody else not being nonviolent, i don't want anybody coming to me talking any nonviolent talk.
Ku Klux Klan White Talking

The bric countries - brazil, india, china, turkey, south africa, indonesia even, and russia - are now new actors. over the last eight years, china multiplied by seven its economic presence and penetration in the middle east. and if this happens on economic terms and there is a shift towards the east, the relationship between these countries and israel is completely different from the united states. and it means that the challenges are going to be different, because china is not supporting israel the way the u.s. are supporting israel.

The life of an indian is like the wings of the air. that is why you notice the hawk knows how to get his prey. the indian is like that. the hawk swoops down on its prey, so does the indian. in his lament he is like an animal. for instance, the coyote is sly, so is the indian. the eagle is the same. that is why the indian is always feathered up, he is a relative to the wings of the air.
