Arundhati Roy: 'Cockroach Rebellion' Has Stripped Bare Modi's Manufactured Image
Booker Prize-winning author Arundhati Roy tells Al Jazeera that Gen Z-led protests, largely driven by the satirical Cockroach People's Party, have exposed the manufactured image of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who she says has lost the aura built by corporate media and BJP propaganda. She discusses India's hollowed-out democracy, the Maoist insurgency, and why she remains more optimistic than she was three months ago.
