Renowned Indian author Arundhati Roy says her country’s government has declared war on its own people.  Her outspokenness earned her an invitation to spend time with the so-called ‘Maoist’ rebels.  On this edition, Arundhati Roy takes us into the jungles of India, as she reads excerpts from her new book ‘Walking with the Comrades’.
