"At magic hour, when the Sun has gone but the light has not" are the first lines in Roy's second book of fiction "The Ministry of Utmost Happiness". Light is shone on characters and places in multiple colors as you would see in a drama enacted on the stage. This novel is a kaleidoscope of the history of India's "Adverse Political Spectacle". Through; The Emergency, anti Sikh riots, Ayodhya, Godhra, Bhopal gas tragedy, Bastar, Lathur earthquake Victims, anti dam movement, anti corruption movement, birth of AAP party and Kashmir. If her critics were aware that in our country " Adverse Political Spectacle " is the new normal they would be more charitable and not called her a polemicist. The bigotry in our country, of a regime dabbling in religion, perverted science, caste and social engineering is both alarming and deplorable. Red flags of caution waved by Roy are always assuring....Let a Hundred Arundhati Roy bloom! Nobel Laureate William Golding in his award winning work "Lord of the Flies", has depicted a society, a young one at that, getting morphed into an evil, murderous group because of intolerance and authoritarianism, in a flash. Let us analyze some typical adverse spectacles played out in our polity. Take censorship of films;.... The censor board Chief, an ideologue of the ruling dispensation is at the center of bitter criticism for heavily censoring and banning films for his agenda driven views and beliefs. In our films Police encounters of citizens is shown as routine (the latest being Raees). Encounters are the liquidation of its own citizens by the State (Police or other National Security Agency) of individuals or groups for unproved nefarious activities. This is done precisely for two reasons, one of it's police force is incompetent, corrupt, immoral, a bunch of bafoons. Secondly the Judiciary is so weighed down, that to bring any one of them to Justice would take decades if not a lifetime; if these heinous act of killing it's own citizens is sanctioned by the state overtly or covertly and feature in films as a done thing; does it matter about the speeches of a Vemula or a M.s. Roy.? It is such a farce and an irony to ban films because of any " Vemula's", when the state itself is portrayed as a blood hound of its own citizens. Police reforms and Judicial reforms to make these institutions competent and credible are not on any political party's agenda and everyone knows why. "What we have on our hands is a spices problem" is what Roy calls it.
