Convoluted Compassion

Arundhati Roy, a glamorous Indian-born novelist who long ago crossed her limit of competence when she started dabbling into social issues, again proves that she has no respect for her motherland. She was not there in any protests when hundreds died in Mumbai Bomb blasts or when a University professor was killed by Muslim terrorists or when the Indian Parliament was attacked. But now she has suddenly reappeared to save Afzal, a terrorist convicted for his role in the conspiracy to attack the parliament, by protesting in front of the same Parliament attacked by that terrorist.

She once said that she is ashamed of being an Indian. Now a billion patriotic Indians are feeling the same about her being Indian.
