Massive meeting in Chennai of campaign to stop Tamil slaughter in Sri Lanka
Author Arundathi Roy’s statement gets national and international coverage
On Monday 30th March, it felt as if the city of Chennai waited with intense expectation as the famous writer, Arundhati Roy, was due to deliver a speech in a public meeting condemning the war in Sri Lanka. Her views on globalisation, imperialism and war were all too clear. But she had raised many an eyebrow and irked many a person with her strong condemnation of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam’s methods, calling them a terrorist organisation.
