BBC News - Indian writer Arundhati Roy ready for Maoist talks role

In my mind, I always linked the fight of the naxalists and the book by Arundhati Roy, "God of small things", although it didn't mention it. The story she depicted is sadly the daily story of most of the indian Poor to this day and that, in my eyes, justifies the bitter fight by the naxalists that I discovered through V.S. Naipaul.

I am really amazed that she might eventually become a peace-broker in this 40 years fight and help pay justice to the Dalits, at long last.
