    • Trivia
      Ever since writing The God of Small Things, Roy has been a political activist.

She has written critiques of Nuclear bomb blasts by Indian government.
    • Quotes
      [on a notorious mass killing in Gujarat in 2002] The guilty should be punished. Everyone knows who they are, but that will not happen. That is the thing about India. You may go to prison for assaulting a woman in a lift or killing one person, but if you are part of a massacre then the chances of your not being punished are high.
