| | Arundhati Roy on India’s Nuclear tests |
 | | The one we have at the moment, for instance, does not even have enough seats to last a full term in office, but demands that we trust it to do pirouettes and party tricks with nuclear bombs even as it scrabbles around for a foothold to maintain a simple majority in Parliament. |
 | | On the contrary, it is the endless, tireless, confrontational work of people who have had the courage to openly denounce them, the marches, the demonstrations, the films, the outrage - that is what has averted, or perhaps only postponed, nuclear war. |
 | | I'll admit that I've enjoyed my own five minutes of it immensely, but primarily because it was just five minutes. |
