From We Arundhati Roy: A Wise Woman

"My writings are about power. About the paranoia and ruthlessness of power. About the physics of power. In India those of us who have expressed views on nuclear bombs, corporate globalization...views that are branded anti-national- while this accusation doesn't fill me with indignation, it is not an accurate description of what I do and how I think. Because an anti-national is a person who is against his or her nation, and by inference, pro-some other one. But it isn't necessary to be anti-national to be deeply suspicious of all nationalism. To be anti-nationalism...Nationalism of one kind or another was the cause of most of the genocide of the 20th century. Flags are bits of colored cloth that governments use first to shrink-wrap people's brains, then as ceremonial shrouds to bury the dead." --from the movie "We Arundhati Roy"
