Arundhati Roy at home and work: activist, writer and filmmaker on The God of Small Things
Arundhati Roy does not fit into any stereotype. She belongs to a fringe which believes in living life by breaking rules but if she may seem a rebel without a cause Arundhati Roy has proven skeptics wrong by donning new roles time and again. Architect, screenwriter, filmmaker, activist and now writer. Arundhati today writes high crest of her life with the first book 'The God Of Small things'.
Arundhati Roy is an Indian author, actress, and political activist who was best known for the award-winning novel The God of Small Things (1997) and for her involvement in environmental and human rights causes.
Roy’s father was a Bengali tea planter, and her mother was a Christian of Syrian descent who challenged India’s inheritance laws by successfully suing for the right of Christian women to receive an equal share of their fathers’ estates. Though trained as an architect, Roy had little interest in design; she dreamed instead of a writing career. After a series of odd jobs, including artist and aerobics instructor, she wrote and costarred in the film In Which Annie Gives It to Those Ones (1989) and later penned scripts for the film Electric Moon (1992) and several television dramas.
The films earned Roy a devoted following, but her literary career was interrupted by controversy. In 1995 she wrote two newspaper articles claiming that Shekhar Kapur’s film Bandit Queen exploited Phoolan Devi, one of India’s most wanted criminals in the early 1980s and a heroine of the oppressed. The columns caused an uproar, including a court case, and Roy retreated from the public and returned to the novel she had begun to write.
