'700,000 Indian army making situation in IoK worse'

Human rights activist and prominent Indian writer Arundhati Roy, in an interview to Outlook India in New York, has said that 700,000 Indian occupation troops, fully armed, are occupying Kashmir and creating a situation, making it worse.
She pointed out that during joint training exercises between the two armies of the United States and India, Indians taught the Americans how to occupy a place.
"The occupation of Kashmir has taken place over years. And I keep saying that in Iraq, you have 125,000 or so American troops, controlling 25 million Iraqis. In Kashmir, you have 700,000 Indian troops fully armed there, and creating a situation, making it worse and worse and worse. So the first thing that has to happen is that the army has to come out," she asked.
She disclosed that Indian media was so biased towards what was happening in Kashmir. She recalled that in Delhi a few months ago I was at a meeting of the Association of Parents for Disappeared People from Kashmir, which was organised to highlight the plight of Kashmiri women.
Roy said there were thousands of disappeared people in Kashmir, which nobody talked about in the mainstream, Indian media at all. She said that at the meeting there were those women, whose mothers or brothers or sons or husbands had been killed by Indian military, but whatever - all these people, who were speaking of their personal experiences, and there were other speakers, and there was me. And the next day in this more-or-less rightwing paper, Indian Express, there was a big picture of me, really close so that you couldn't see the context. You couldn't see who had organised the meeting or what it was about, nothing.
And underneath it said, "Arundhati Roy at the International Day of the Disappeared." So, you have the news, but it says nothing, you know? That's the kind of thing that can happen in India.
When she was asked to comment on her recent observations in New York that India is not a democratic country and which were published by Kashmir Media Service- May 23, Arundhati Roy confirmed that India was not a democratic state.
She stated that well, "I do think that we are really suffering a crisis of democracy. And the simplest way I can explain it is that in 2004, when the general elections took place in India, we were reeling from five years of rightwing communal BJP politics, the rightwing Hindu party.
