Arundhati Roy was a great writer, Screenplay Writer, actress , political activist. She is wrote about on politics and also about the situation of our political system. In her interview and also in her book or in her journalism life she is always against of politics. And she also talk about the cast system of India and also she told india divided in many cast. And also difference between touchable and untouchables and condition of untouchables after the partition of India. She also a Agitator and she do many Movements against the Government and politicians.

In her book "The God of Small Things" in this book she discribe real India or we can also told that Bed Situation of India. In this book she talk about the cast system, about the difference between Touchable and Untouchables , and talk about the religion and also about the religious people who blindly believe on God. In which she talked about untouchability, social exclusion, feminism, postcolonial cosmopolitanism and childhood experiences of fraternal twins, whose lives are destroyed by the ' love laws '. The novel highlights the situation of women in the society , about the rape cases , Murder, and etc. etc.

Her second novel The Ministry of Utmost Happiness (2017), highlights the orthodox mentality of people. She called Narendra Modi as Gujarat ka lalla, and Manmohan singh as Caged Rabbit, Kejarival as a Mister Aggraval. Thus she strikes on many political incidents. Here is the video best describes the content of her novel.

The novel weaves together stories of people navigating some of the darkest and most violent episodes of modern Indian history, from land reform that dispossessed poor farmers to the 2002 Godhra train burning and Kashmir insurgency. And in this time many movement happened in our country India and that time many people lost their lives.
Roy's characters run the gamut of Indian society and include an intersex woman (hijra), a rebellious architect, and her landlord who is a supervisor in the intelligence service. And because of that people feel bad for her because of this novel. And she face that problem also in her life. The narrative spans across decades and locations, but primarily takes place in Delhi and Kashmira and about terrorism attacks and many people lost their life in this attacks.

In last that is a difficult question for me to answer Arundhati Roy's perspective towards life. Because she done many works during her life and she play lots of characters in her life because she is actress , novel writer journalist , and she also wife , daughter , mother like many relations. So that's why I am not able to tell the purpose of her life.

Thank you....
