Arundhati Roy’s statement about Kashmir has created quite a lot of heat. More importantly sparked a fierce debate between the patriots and those who advocate about fundamental rights. Patriots are terming this incident as sedition and the patronage of fundamental rights as dissent.
The views of those terming the statement made by Roy as dissent can be very well be summed up by the following comment given by US Supreme Court
“It is poignant but fundamental that the flag protect those who hold it in content”. They argue that dissent and disagreement is what makes a democracy complete. They also highlight the inherent tradition of India being tolerant. Under the umbrella of these arguments, these patrons of democracy and fundamental rights try to seek a “no legal action” status for ROY.
But the present situation that exists in India demands something else. Under the pretext of upholding the fundamental rights and tolerant nations’ image, the unity and solidarity of India has been compromised on many occasions. If this dangerous trend is not curbed at this moment it will not be a distant reality when we will see India crumbling into many small countries.
Government should show some grit and conviction and should act immediately to put an end to such heinous acts dome in the name of democracy.

You have to discuss this more in detail. She is provoking to take action against her by saying the most outrageous things. She does not have follower and also neither is she trying to get any. I will conclude she is a shit. Don’t stamp the shit. Ignore her.
