The Struggle for Powerless Class in Arundhati Roy’s Writings

Arundhati Roy’s political essays are focused on highlighting her struggle for the powerless class of the world. She tries to make space for justice, right and freedom for the voiceless and silenced class in the society. Social justice is the foundation for peace. She does not advocate meek surrender or violent resistance but fights with a true democratic spirit and non violent principle under the constitutional concept. There is a dangerous systemic flaw in parliamentary democracy. The system of checks and balances as the pillars of the democracy weakens. Democratic institutions become undemocratic in a democratic society and they become completely unaccountable. The relation between the powerless and powerful is like a relation between the lamb and the beast. She hopes that these two classes live together in perfect harmony in the world.
