India's Chaos: G20's Blind Eye and Government Overreach

Acclaimed author and activist Arundhati Roy criticizes the Indian government's treatment of minorities and the hosting of the G20 summit in India, stating that world leaders are aware of the human rights violations but won't address them. She highlights the excessive promotion of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) during the event, which she sees as a vanity event for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Roy warns that India is moving towards fascism and losing its democratic values, with violence against minorities increasing and the constitution being set aside. She emphasizes the need for global attention to prevent India from descending into chaos and war.
