She is a conspiracy theorist by her own admission edit
She write in 2006 regarding the parliament attacks:-- These questions, examined cumulatively, point to something far more serious than incompetence. The words that come to mind are Complicity, Collusion, Involvement. There's no need for us to feign shock, or shrink from thinking these thoughts and saying them out loud. Governments and their intelligence agencies have a hoary tradition of using strategies like this to further their own ends. (Look up the burning of the Reichstag and the rise of Nazi power in Germany, 1933; or 'Operation Gladio' in which European intelligence agencies 'created' acts of terrorism, especially in Italy, in order to discredit militant groups like the Red Brigade.)[1]
The author Praveen swami has rebuked her for saying the same in his 2013 article[2]
I hope we can build consensus on it because there is nothing to vehemently argue here. It is crystal clear from the paragraph that she believes the attacks were done by the Indian state. Sane members should help me pass through because several old members are tying to muzzle this truth. Let us spread the truth.

In the third paragraph of the section titled The God of Small Things, it says "The Guardian called the context "profoundly depressing"." The cited source, a BBC article, says "One Guardian journalist described the whole contest as "profoundly depressing"." I think these differences are enough to warrant a change.

The state she was born in doesn't seem to have been Meghalaya at that time, but Assam. So a wording like "Arundhati Roy was born in Shillong, Assam (now Meghalaya), India" would be better. 90.142.52.139 (talk) 20:48, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
