Arundhati Roy said that there is no action in the country for those who kill people of the day and those who kill them. While raiding and arresting of lawyers, poets, writers and activists fighting for rights of Dalits and the houses of thought-seekers is continuing. This is indicative of where India is headed. The killers will now be honored and their joy will also be celebrated, then what they say against justice and Hindu majority will be made criminals.
This is the preparation for the upcoming elections. However, we will not let that happen. You have to come together to fight against it, otherwise you will lose all kinds of freedom that you are proud of. Arundhati Roy has said that this situation in the country is similar to the state of emergency announcement.
