Arundhati Roy rarely grants interviews to Westerners. The young Indian writer had her first novel published in 1997: “The God of small things”, very successful amongst the public and critics throughout the world. Since then Roy has not had any novels published and she has become a great polemist and activist, committed in political and ecological battles regarding her immense country, India, target of the huge tides of denationalization, globalization, a questionable modernization and finally a bellicist velleity of its ruling class which has resulted in the manufacturing of the atom bomb.
