This was an idea that renowned writer and activist Arundhati Roy stressed on when a group of students asked her about authoritarianism and fear of authority. She also added that the people’s struggles against authority is an elevating experience and not a sad one as many would imagine. The students in this Q&A session had gathered from different parts of South India at Sacred Heart College, Thevara, Ernakulam on January 27, 2023.

The Interaction was moderated by Venkitesh Ramakrishnan, Managing Editor, The AIDEM.
