- Join Arundhati Roy and Nick Estes for an urgent and timely conversation on the present crisis, resistance, and the meaning of freedom.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Co-presented by Haymarket Books and Elliott Bay Book Company, with the support of Tasveer, this event is to celebrate the release of Arundhati Roy’s new book of essays, Azadi: Freedom. Fascism. Fiction.

The chant of "Azadi!"-Urdu for "Freedom!"-is the slogan of the freedom struggle in Kashmir against what Kashmiris see as the Indian Occupation. Ironically, it also became the chant of millions on the streets of India against the project of Hindu Nationalism.
Even as Arundhati Roy began to ask what lay between these two calls for Freedom-a chasm or a bridge?-the streets fell silent. Not only in India, but all over the world. The coronavirus brought with it another, more terrible understanding of Azadi, making a nonsense of international borders, incarcerating whole populations, and bringing the modern world to a halt like nothing else ever could.
In this series of electrifying essays, Arundhati Roy challenges us to reflect on the meaning of freedom in a world of growing authoritarianism.
The essays include meditations on language, public as well as private, and on the role of fiction and alternative imaginations in these disturbing times.
The pandemic, she says, is a portal between one world and another. For all the illness and devastation it has left in its wake, it is an invitation to the human race, an opportunity, to imagine another world.
Arundhati Roy studied architecture in New Delhi, where she now lives. She is the author of the novels The God of Small Things, for which she received the 1997 Booker Prize, and The Ministry of Utmost Happiness. A collection of her essays from the past twenty years, My Seditious Heart, was recently published by Haymarket Books. Her latest book is Azadi: Freedom. Fascism. Fiction.
Nick Estes is a citizen of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe. He is an Assistant Professor in the American Studies Department at the University of New Mexico. In 2014, he co-founded The Red Nation, an Indigenous resistance organization. For 2017-2018, Estes was the American Democracy Fellow at the Charles Warren Center for Studies in American History at Harvard University. Estes is the author of the book Our History Is the Future: Standing Rock Versus the Dakota Access Pipeline, and the Long Tradition of Indigenous Resistance and he co-edited Standing with Standing Rock: Voices from the #NoDAPL Movement, which draws together more than thirty contributors, including leaders, scholars, and activists of the Standing Rock movement.

Arundhati is inspiration for modern subcontinent
Just like Owaisi bhai...😂😂
An excellent discussion, especially resonant about the role of language in how people are dehumanized
I read Nick Estes outstanding book "Our History Is The Future", it should be required reading in every high school.
And unfortunately people are talking about India without reading its history.
A lucid presentation and interesting conversation. The use of language in Azadi is really very interesting.
The role of language in Literature is a huge counterpart to it's written form.
"...we groom the creature that has sunk its teeth into us..." - from Azadi
That is great writing.
That's in the book?
Whenever I hear Arundhati Roy, I get a clearer view of our society. The ongoing political and socioeconomic crisis has been calculatively pushed under the carpet, leaving only a few intelligent people to comprehend the logic and reasoning behind this dysfunctionality.
Very well said.
You should get clearer view of Delhi riots.because one of the key accused is from AAP party leader tahir Hussein. God bless you
Hahahaha... Any clear view on tahir husain, haghia Sophia, minorities in Pakistan, uyighurs in China...
For Godsake, leave your pseudo intellect and figure the ground reality
@@shaqxs2201 ground reality where I live is that bjp is trying to make India a hindu country which India is not 🌸
@@SumitSMNso what’s wrong with that? India has always been a hindu country. There are 56 islamic country in this world. So why can’t India be a hindu country despite having 80% population are hindu
Bhakts are everywhere, but especially where the truth is
Communists should go to China and talk about freedom, democracy.....
@@praveenkumar105 No. We will make India a communist country. Deal with it

Arundhati Roy thank you for always standing up for the underdog. You are inspiration to all women across the world💕💕💕
Not for every women. I adore her for a god of small things but not for this book which is much biased
@@padmeshkv880 yes you are right.
This intellectual group is biased towards westernisation and islamisation.
They are 100% against hindu culture and civilisation. They don't like it simply. They feel alergy of sanatana dharma.
They don't support or praise even on one item of hindu dharma.
Such is the hatred they have developed in thier minds since thier birth.
They dont criticise or comment on jihadi, conversion tactics of Islam. A section in quran says that non Muslims should be converted, or killed if they refuse to do so. I have never seen this group criticising islamic terror perpetrated on non Muslims. Why they are silent??
In Afghanistan these terror groups are killing thier own citizens. Using muslim women for sex. Women are deprived of education, employment, or sports. Journalism.
Women are treated as slaves by covering full burkha.
Women are forced to sex by family members irrespective of relation.
But unfortunately this intellectual group is silent on any aspect of brutal activities of jihadis. Why these scholars don't talk on this subject. Is this due to thier negative philosophy on hindu civilisation??
Why they are so hateful on india and hindu culture??? Why they preferred to be anti india and hindus??
Fighting back is essential and sometimes that fight doesn't necessarily need to be peaceful. Lands are being stolen, communities erased, peoples disappeared. That won't go away without a fight. There is a right and there is a wrong when a nation's constitution promises a certain degree of morality that is intentionally overlooked or misinterpreted.
Yes bro,
370 was a mistake we abolished it... And undoubtedly POJK has to be taken back also, aksai chin has to be conquered...
We would require true Patriots like you to go and stand for your country at chilling -54°..
So when are you joining???
Some times it is okay to accept your privileges arundhati roy is a brahmin and has reaped immense benefits from it
What a graceful woman.
Yep, want to hear same from your Maulana ji...
I like her commitment and ability to bring-up actual facts in her write-up!
Love her thoughts, just that the context of nrc in assam often remains in the dark. Also, 20 millions is a wrong number i suppose
A great conversation.
Arundathi is just amazing..
Her writing is pure gem..
Love from kashmir
Arundhati, your work gives me hope that perhaps our struggles aren't entirely forsaken. Love from Kashmir.
Bro, are these struggles also faced by uyighurs in China...
So sad CCP doesn't even send funding for Xinjiang... Worst is even if CCP send any funding it would used for development...
Not like uyighurs would have two political families who would share the funds and ignite hatred amongst other fellow muslims residents
Our struggle can't just forsaken we will rise inshallah
Kashmir will be free from Indian occupation...
Brave scholarly work and poetic delivery from Roy. Two great authors and activists. Thank you, Haymarket.
know a days kashmir is a land of Karbala.
excellent discussion
from ladakh.
Karbala me sahidi deni padegi
She is the most beautiful Indian. Period
Lol 🤣🤣
She's not... she's a propagandist.. just because she speaks well.. doesn't mean she speaks truth.
I felt the same way for qandeel baloch...
The true daughter of India, brave, bold and courageous as always. She is the voice of the voiceless, oppressed and poor people of India and in no way favoring any particular people but in every way supporting every efforts to save India's true identity upon which it was founded.
Yep..
But unfortunately she is also selective... Doesn't say anything about kashmiri pandits..
Nothing on mamta banerjee...
Nothing on Owaisi's younger brother...
Forget about People like Erdogan... Forget about topics like haghia Sophia.. or minorities in Pakistan, uyighurs in China....
nice eloquence and discussions
I adore you Roy...!
Best wishes
She is the only original thinker of the time. ❤️
@@mohitpr5297 precisely, look at the pro-poor dress and make-up she has...
You know she is also called a beloved member of a very prominent group... "Lutyens media"
Lovely!!
Bhaisahab, ye to batao isme kya lovely laga...😂😂
One of the mistakes or rather point overlooked by any writer or any thought process is discounting of the progressiveness of a thought of a person adjusted to the present. Some of Gandhi's thoughts should be interpreted in how he would see his own views in the modern context as lot has been revolutionized now
No country is perfect as no one is perfect in this world.
That's why there is so many conflicts between us.
But these must go on as perfectness lies between the layers of these conflict thoughts.
👍🏼
Its a pleasure to listen to Arundhati Roy.
Also, pleasure to hear Owaisi and Zakir Naik
Interesting observation, the global top 3 corona cases today are in the countries run by three right wing leaders Trump, Modi and Bolsonaro.
A very stimulating talk from Arundhati Roy, one of the intellectual giants in India.
She has the courage to openly talk about a lot of things that are taboo or considered should not be talked in her country.
Maybe because they're also not ruling banana nations and are highly democratic....???
@@shaqxs2201 ...a very operative point, yet only part of the whole.
I would argue that they each are enormous capitalist economies which practice a constant, disinterested, violence upon thier most vulnerable populations, and - t h a t - , much more than thier outspoken distaste for the "totalitarianism" of China (and indeed, the banana republic to which you refer, as well) is the primary reason for these three nations leading all others in catastrophic covid-19 outcomes; it is, as Sheldon Wolin writes, an "inverted totalitarianism."

💔💔💔
She captures the underlying political intentions of indian politics and society beautifully. I have tremendous respect for Roy and her literary works. But I disagree with her on the abrogation of article 370. There was no easy way to deal with Kashmir, the option of least collateral damage was the best. Any other option would incur much more death and destruction. There is no "peaceful" way of making your way out of a war zone, a war that India did not start. But she is bang on about the dictatorial side of modi and the disasterous domino effect it has had ever since DeMon. We have made a huge mistake voting for Modi.
Arundhati Roy is an inspiration - such a brave person she is. I am a bit skeptical about Gandhi's understanding according to her research. Gandhi is a concept not only in India but around the world - the concept of peace and love. It is hard to digest that his motive was to spread more casteism - really struggling with that thought.
He is a strong believer of sanatana adharma, which is varna system or the present day casteism.
@@Cacofonixravi Varna system is very different from present day casteism. Present day casteism is the way it is for thousands of years due to brahmanaical tyranny. Varna system is in every society in the world its just a basic way of saying division of labour.
Totally agree.. understanding Gandhi needs lot more application.. and simply.. non violence doesn't need any moral backing as such..
Gandhi's view on caste weren't the most evolved but that doesn't mean they weren't evolving. See him as a radical politician who brought so many diverse people together and introduced to this world very new and novel forms of protest. His ability to work and groom a host of next generation leaders who did not always agree with him is remarkable. His ability to work and engage with people of radically different views. Nehru's idea of what independent India would be was very very different from Gandhi, his debate with tagore on nationalism yet they worked so closely together. See him as a brilliant politician who was always ready to learn and change and not as a Mahatma (saint).
@@71espn very well said.. indeed evolving as we all do.. and certainly a remarkable ability to bring together diverse views.. indeed a giant of a hand in India's Independence however much undermined by a narrow thought process.. I absolutely agree Ma'am/Sir.. a real visionary for peace and globalisation
He was so right.
❤️❤️❤️
Aur bhai, kaise chal rahi hai life

You may agree with her.. differ little yet respect.. disagree.. and yet respect.. these are people who have sacrificed a lot for better mankind and a better eco-humane system for harmony and nothing wrong with striving for that however idealistic it may seem.. the direction is right.. thats it.. Ma'am.. a pleasure to hear you.. thanks
In 2019 so many poor voted for Modi. How and why?
Because India is a poor country. And all credit goes to congress party. Nothing to blame BJP
@@harisht611 hahahahah true also emotional attachment to things like ram mandir
because of Religion and nothing else
@@AbdulKhader-786on the basis of religion only muslims voted for Pakistan in 1947.demanded for Islamic country .still living in India preaching secularism. How funny?religious bigots.
@@harisht611 Incorrect. The demand for Pakistan was for protection of the community from majoritarian illiberal democracy that India has become today.
35:16 this is misleading. If you really read the vedic texts and translate what it says to true meaning of the words, you will know what Arundhati is claiming here is not true, and it is lost in translation. ‘Varna’ means one that is adopted by choice. Jaati means a classification based on source of origin. “Samaanaprasavaatmika Jaatih” ( from the Nyay Sutra) means ones that have the same origin of birth, example: different types of animals, birds, insects etc. It is classification of different types living beings. So an elephant's jaati is different to that of a crocodile. And so the entire human race/ homosapiens are considered ONE jaati. One type of Jaati possess the same kind of physical characteristics and it cannot morph from one Jaati / form to another and cannot cross-breed. It is perhaps that the use of the word 'jaati' in common language and liberal use of the word and its various analogies led to this nonsense we believe today / that is used politically to divide people. So yes, the caste system exists, but it is in no way part of our SACRED ANCIENT texts...I personally, wouldn't call it a religious text. Hinduism is a culture of an ancient civilization. Also, a bit more on varnas: The technical word used for Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Shudra is ‘Varna’ and not Jaati. The texts say, a human person can choose their varna...you are not born into it...bc varna is not Jaati. So based on what you choose to do for work, you fall into that category of Varna, bc this choice has nothing to do with origin of birth. So let's correct this narrative of caste bias and discrimination: it is posed as 'religious' here in india, and it exists in the form of class / race bias in other parts of the world...this is a product of colonization. Discrimination is discrimination, and no religion really propagates this type of violence. I wish more people were explained what the texts really say and a lot of this shit would stop. But I suppose there is a section of society that benefits from keeping people in the dark and continuing oppression of certain section of the society for their own benefit. Please correct me and help me grow if any of what i said was rubbish. thanks in advance.
@R k you are being just like what you are accusing her of being by stating / making these imaginative accusations without any proof. Let's be better and let's be empathetic towards each other. She gets some things wrong and that;s ok. we all do. This is no time to be divisive. I am also not going to dismiss all the other good writing work she has done bc of her position on this subject. also please don't think Im having a go at you or putting you down. this is not my intention.
You are so misinformed about Jaati. The caste system racializes people into various jaatis and thus shuns intermixing, intermingling or inter marriage. The caste system also puts women below men by categorising them as 'naari jaati'. Most of the struggles for emancipation be it dalit rights, adivasi rights, women's rights or lgbtqia+ rights are a direct attack on caste, whether they realise it or not.
@@bisskutt Hi! you're 100% right. Jaati which what we know as 'caste' now and all the discrimination that happens in the name of it is absolutely inhumane. All I was trying explain is that the original word and what it was meant to be in the texts wasn't perpetuating the kind of discrimination we see today in the name of "jaati" / caste. I think it is important to explain what the literal word 'jaati' means first and the evolution of the word from what it meant and what it has become now in our society. Especially if you are directly talking about the sacred texts. It is used in the worse way possible to divide people further. And the texts definitely don't preach that or talk about it. But yes, all of this nonsense that goes on now is in the name of religion, and I think may be if we really started understanding the true translations of the verses, a lot of this discrimination could end or at least it wouldn't go on in the name of religion.
@@correctgarden8634 Well several hindu texts like the Dharmasutras and Manusmriti not only prescribe varna but also dictates brutal punishments to whoever crosses the line. (The Gautama, one of the sutras says: "If a súdra listens in on vedic recitation, his ears shall be filled with molten tin or lac; if he repaeats it, his tongue shall be cut-off; if he commits it to memory, his body shall be split asunder" Refer: Varna System in the Dahrmasutras by Tejas Harad for further reading on this) The caste is not only about the four varnas but also the untouchables/avarnas/dalits who are classified as sub-human in hindu society and are assigned the dirtiest jobs. So this idea that caste does not arise from hindu vedic text/culture is wrong.
Caste is not just division of labours , it is division of labourers...manu verses say that 'women shouldn't be independent' 'women are inferior to men' 'an old shudra man has to be a slave and be obedient to a brahma or kshathriya or vaishiya kid ' brahmin man should only marry brahmin woman and people should only marry within their caste' '100 year old khsathriya should treat 10 year old brahmin as his father' 'shudras shouldn't be allowed to recieve education' 'manu IV 78-81' & 'manu 11-135' & 2/215 &2/213 u could see them in these verses.
So u r misinformed about caste and verna or jaati ..hinduism is about inequality , it was designed for segregation of certain groups from receiving education or pleasure or what ever. I would advice you to read about ambedkar or arundhathi roy's doctor and saint which talks about conflict between gandhi and ambedkar also caste system deeply 🙂
He opened the debate and she quickly got into Muslim problems within seconds, that’s why I love her. Amazing soul.
Hahahahaha.. Ya bro, she is specific breed... She can't see uyighurs in China...
Dangerous times for India and America! It appears Democracy has never faced crisis of this proportion in history of human civilization. Antigen getting strongest ever hold on antibodies?

Its too much fiction, half side story about Kashmir, CAA, Indian Culture and Politics. there is a huge difference in READING A BOOK AND READING SOME HIGHLIGHTED LINES. Actually I just have one question : in 1.15 hours of talk not even a one positive word about India. Why ? We live in streets and we also read and understand India.I am not a modi fan. But I disagree with her coz here views are too radical, not balanced.
WHEN U ANALISE ANYHING IT SHOULD GRASPED EQUALLY BY BOTH EYES AND BOTH EARS. IGNORING OTHER SIDE IS NEVER A SOLUTION.
Yes we have problems more in number and more complex than she could understand from her AC room. But really she is not a part of solution. Too negative approch. But we should alwàys listen her she will keep us awake also we listenrs and readers make her bread and butter.
You are delusional. This 'both side' rhetoric is heavily misleading. When ppl are being arrested, muslims lynched, kashmir under lockdown, I wonder what positives she should think of.
@@msan1206 mob lynch is problem in India , people are lynched because of false rumour of theft, child trafficking .
@@msan1206 She thinks Kashmir should be separated from India they should be given choice to self determine . I am from Maharashtra if this choice is given I will also demanded seperate from India as most UP and Biharis are comming to ours state and changing our ethnic culture and language .
That was a well said analysis.
@@msan1206 NEGATIVE CAN BE SOLD EAISLY.
And it takes huge sacrifices and effort to make a LONG LASTING POSITIVE CHANGE.
Difference between mine and your opinion is
U see only these problem and I see 100s of problem including the one u mentioned.
Some are just busy in exploiting and some in solving.
A great discussion. Absolutely true. Azadi is such a beautiful word for freedom. Mr.Moodi has deprived Kashmiris from their basic rights and together with that he has deprived India from support of most Muslims and Azadi-loving nation’s of the world.
What are your thoughts on Uighur Muslims of China?
@@rohitbumb9854 And Most of the Muslim majority countries doesn't even have democracy least of it is represented by the ignominious Islamic republic of Pakistan. Apparently certain Virtues sound good only when you profess them to others, not so much when it's about putting your own house in order.
And u kashmiej did al takkaiya and killed all kashmirii pandut that were natives yo the state eeven before ur devasging prophet made ur religion shut up
Please stop the nonsenses:
Brahminism is separate from Brahmins;
My father was a member of ’Brahmo Samaj’ but he's not a Brahmin;
I dated/married a non-Brahmin so I’m an anti-caste entitled to occupy Dalit women spaces;
I’m not from an untouchable caste but Dalit as a woman.
Google brahmo samaj. It isnt the same as brahmins.
Brahmo samaj founded by two Brahmins to make people worship Brahmins.
but she says her parents became Christians - not that it's much better.
@shravasti, no it wasn't. Anyway, I'll let you live with your illusion of knowledge. 😊
Some times it is okay to accept your privileges arundhati roy is a brahmin and has reaped immense benefits from it
You say caste system has religious sanctions to discriminate where as text of other religions do say treat all equally. But Africans say that they gave us bible and asked us to close our eyes and pray while they took away our lands. This shows that outside your little selfish coccoon, Christianity is no better or nobler than Hinduism. Come out of your narrow way of thinking. Stop comparing other religions to demean Hinduism. Everyone knows what the emperor is wearing.

She is the only true Islamic thinker exist today. She is the only strong voice fighting for independence of Kashmir. She definitely goes to zennnah.
Ok.... So, Gandhi was a casteist.
Disappointing to the level of depressing, she seem to be deeply depressed by the fact that the state which she has tried so hard to break into multiple pieces for so long has been consolidating lately despite her best efforts and slowly but surely coming of age I can understand her collosal angst.
dont know where is arundati living, switching of internet is considred brutal, and burning vehicles people and public property in the name of peaceful religion is not.....very funny

Btw, any thoughts on having roasting alive dogs??
She once said Pakistani keep their minority very safe....😂😂😂😂 I puked 😂😂
Everything she says is subjective without much factual backing. when questioned about facts, most of her answers start with 'if you see'. She has made her life and career out of speaking ill about her own in every global platform she has been while praising its undemocratic neighbours. She is communist intellectual who sees india as an oppessor. She wud be very happy to see india disintegrate into 300 princely state. She cannot bear the fact that India is being taken seriously in global geopolitics. She has been this way in any government, she spoke agains india during congress time also. She suffers from some childhood psychological trauma as her parents were separated and she may have faced some social problems in a conservative malyali neighbourhood where she was raised by her single mother. She blames the INDIA for that trauma, thats the core nature of socialism, they manage to blame anything for their problems. Com on Arundhati, grow the fuck up, we all have faced problems in childhood, some were bullied, some faced corporal punishment, some were abused.... DON'T BLAME THE INIDAN STATE FOR THAT.
Average intelligence or below par should not bother reviewing her talk. Even I can repeat what you said by saying that whatever you say has no factual backing. But then I would not do that without checking for and stating those facts. Easy to have verbal diarrhoea . How about go back to read and inform yourself better ?
@@rajanisantu.... Hahaha.... Its so funny that you have to charge a personal attack on me to make ur case..... Actually ppl like are not very different from the andhbhakt idiots who agree with everything their idiot leader says. You are just on the opposite side of the aisle.... The mindset is same. Bhakti.
You are correct sir. She is a psycho. Prefers anti indian in every aspect of india. She is a converted Christian prefers jihadi islamic mindset. She likes all hindus should be converted as Muslims or Christians. She prefers to be a western women.
She never talk anything bad about psk, afghanistan, siria or terror groups. But criticises every thing of india. That is the reason why she has been popularly treated as anti indian and anti hindu. I like your comment and it's content.
Common template of AR most publication & books are Pessimism, defeatism, negativism. In simple term she is burkha dutt among writers. Why is such a irrational thinker getting so much publicity.
She is just lying.
Modi is probably running biggest Social programmes for the poor. This lady is saying poor is not in the imagination. May be in her not India's socialist politicians. Hilarious!!!! This is the problem with 5 star activists and Liberals.
