The middle finger speaks
There are many reasons why Arundhati Roy's Mother Mary Comes to Me is essential reading. For people of my generation, who read The God of Small Things in our 20s—and walked around in a daze afterwards, “like somebody had shot heroin up our arms”, to quote Arundhati’s literary agent David Godwin—this book feels like a vital companion piece.

No beef with Hindi, until forced
Let's be clear upfront: I have no beef with Hindi. In fact, like many Indians, I find myself effortlessly switching to it when the situation demands. Think about it: when I’m haggling with a vendor in a Delhi market, catching a Bollywood movie, chatting with a taxi driver or even trying to decipher the occasional railway announcement, Hindi slides in quite naturally. And frankly, why wouldn't it? It's a beautiful language, rich in vocabulary and allusion, and spoken by millions.
