Growing religious fundamentalism is directly linked to globalization and to privatization. The Indian government is talking about selling its entire power sector to foreign multinationals, but when the consequences of that become hard to manage, the government immediately starts saying, "Should we build the Ram temple in Ayodhya?"

On the other hand governments spend millions and millions patrolling their borders with nuclear weapons. — Arundhati Roy
