rod mclaughlinArundhati Roy's take on the Mumbai massacre (12 dec 08)
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/dec/12/mumbai-arundhati-roy The only sensible thing I've read so far. She gets a bit carried away saying there could be another civil war. After all, it's only a few relatively well-off people getting offed by angry Muslims. A drop in the ocean of India. I don't suppose the average Joe is too upset about it. It's karma. She's a bit like journalist Robert Fisk - she says 'look in the mirror' before condemning terrorists - a liberal in other words. But she's a better writer. It's easy for her to tell people to look in the mirror. Back
