Even you can get a citation regardless of your field of expertise. It's simplicity itself. Choose any topic that horrifies west, "critically evaluate" India's position. Get the citation.
By the way what is the contribution of Ms. roy about Narmada project apart from Tailormade for TV presences I don't recall any substantial bit of her's. Know some Medha Patkar?

Way to go..Way to go!!!! Arundhati deserves every peace prize that has been institutionalized around the world. One needs courage of conviction and a human heart to deserve such an award and Arundhati has it. Life for her from her movie days, 'Bohemian' youth lifestyle to marriage, being a writer and activist has come a full circle......Keep it up

Hearty wishes to Ms. Arundhati Roy, and we need many such people in our country. We are down in all rankings i.e. corruption, ethics, or even in moral values. Small small works like yours at least preserve our democracy and give some boosting to others.

Keept it up Ms. Arundhati.

No single person, apart from Modi and Togadia may be, has brought such disgrace to India as Ms Roy. In the past few years, she has lambasted every other Indian institute (Supreme Court), decision (nuclear tests) or initiative (sardar sarovar). Worse, the western world sees India through her eyes and rewards her for ridiculing our "third-worldness" With Indians like her who needs enemies..

Her detractors will not take it kindly. But it is people like Arundhati who make us proud. If India ever shines it will be only for people like her. A thousand shrill bigoted voices can not drown the most courageous voice of our time. Hats off to Arundhati.
