To best understand and address the inequality in India today Arundhati Roy insists we must examine both the political development and influence of M.K. Gandhi and why B.R. Ambedkar's brilliant challenge to his near-divine status was suppressed by India's elite. In Roy's analysis we see that Ambedkar's fight for justice was systematically sidelined in favor of policies that reinforced caste resulting in the current nation of India independent of British rule globally powerful and marked to this day by the caste system.This book situates Ambedkar's arguments in their vital historical context-namely as an extended public political debate with Mohandas Gandhi.'For more than half a century-throughout his adult life-[Gandhi's] pronouncements on the inherent qualities of black Africans untouchables and the laboring classes remained consistently insulting' writes Roy.'His refusal to allow working-class people and untouchables to create their own political organizations and elect their own representatives remained consistent too.'In The Doctor and the Saint Roy exposes some uncomfortable controversial and even surprising truths about the political thought and career of India's most famous and most revered figure. In doing so she makes the case for why Ambedkar's revolutionary intellectual achievements must be resurrected not only in India but throughout the world.

In the winter of 2014, Arundhati Roy met Edward Snowden, along with the actor and writer John Cusack and Daniel Ellsberg, the Snowden of the 1960s. Their conversations touched on some of the great themes of our times on the nature of the state, surveillance in an era of perpetual war, and the meaning of patriotism. Disturbing, powerful, and provocative, this is an extraordinary work.]
