Globalization and Terrorism
Arundhati Roy
Since 9/11 most of the media have studiously avoided talking about the origins of terrorism. It just happens like the well-known four-letter word.

A Writer’s Place in Politics
Arundhati Roy
Enron is the Houston-based energy corporation that has had the biggest meltdown in U.S. history. Its takeover of part of India’s energy sector created a scandal. Allegations of improprieties abound.

The U.S. is holding military aid hostage, and for ransom they want immunity in the International Criminal Court.

The International Criminal Court, the ICC, was created to try individuals […]
