In his book, Butter Chicken in Ludhiana: Travels in Small Town India , Pankaj Mishra reaches Kottayam, Kerala, and meets Mrs. Book Review: PakistanRoy, an activitst, who tells him the following
"I think white people are a curse on mankind. Wherever you look, they are busy causing destruction to something or the other. And they think themselves superior to everyone else! They are really awful!"
Book Review: PakistanRoy is Arundhati Roy's mother.
This is from the book I am currently reading, Where the Rain is Born: Writings About Kerala, Edited by Anita Nair.

What can you say, JK - it is easier to always blame someone else for our problem. It is like this dialogue from an old telugu movie - don't trust the white people, they hate us becuse we are darker and don't trust the black people, they hate us because we are lighter than them.
