Emran Feroz is an Afghan-Austrian journalist currently based in Stuttgart, Germany. He is regularly writing from Afghanistan, often focusing on the Middle East, Central Asia, drone warfare, refugee policies and human rights. Emran is writing in both German and English. His work has already appeared in international media outlets such as Al Jazeera, The Intercept, Alternet, The Atlantic or the New York Times and in various German and Austrian news papers and magazines.
I'm a big fan of Jeremy Scahill's Intercepted podcast. It is mostly always worth hearing.
However, in this case it is a must-hear.
The reason is simple: Scahill talks with Indian author and writer Arundhati Roy. Roy is one of the leading critical intellectuals of India.
And especially in these days, with a right-wing, anti-Muslim government in power, such a voice is crucial.
Roy does not just talk about her recent novel, "The Ministry of Utmost Happiness", but also about inequality in India, the conflict in Kashmir and the myths about Gandhi.
