racismsolver 's review for:
The Ministry of Utmost Happiness
by Arundhati Roy
Saw the reviews by other Goodreads members who were disappointed with Roy's latest fiction. I am not surprised with their reviews, as most of the reviews been done by people who might not have better understanding about the historical, current political, religious, and hermaphrodite's living atmospheres in subcontinent. Not to mention, Roy's unwillingness to replace local languages with English translated words throughout the entire book, might have made these readers uncomfortable. For me it's a beautiful second novel and hit more closer to my heart than "The God of Small Things". It's unfair to compare and I will not be that person who says I liked that one better, considering both books tackle different but equally important issues in the lives of marginalized communities in India.
