but naturally, kanchan. limeys are looking to curry favor with mohammedans any which way. why not show hindus murdering mohammedans, whereas the usual reality is the opposite. it's an inexpensive way for limeys to look good to saudi moneybags, at the expense of hindus, and of the truth. and they know no hindu is going to start sending suicide bombers to limey high commissions. this is the same attitude codified in that sick man david miliband's recent comments about kashmir and pakistani terrorism: it is not just the liberal-left partyline, it is the BBC's and the british government's partyline. after all, as a nation of shopkeepers increasingly on a downward slope, they have to get their money from somewhere: so they apply their lips to arab and chinese bottoms. natch!

Second thoughts:
Let's use it for the best interest of the country. BJP should organize the free viewing of this movie in all the cities and villages to point out how the 50 years of "family rule" has failed miserably. That even 60 years after independence country is still a giant slum, while they live a life of extreme privilege.

A Thought by HJS reader
I feel every bit as strongly as you all do. But let us not underestimate the power of letters written to Oscar committee head Mr. Sid Ganis (president@oscars.org), head of Writers Guild Patric Verrone (pverrone@wga.org) and head of Directors' Guild Michael Apted (laraine@dga.org). If a steady stream of letters from proud and dignified Hindus reaches the desks of these people, it will make them stop and think.

This is a fiction. Why are we bending our back for a piece of fiction.
Because it doesn't take long in fiction from becoming fact. Eg. Aryan Invasion Myth, Media/Congress already saying 5000 Muslims died in Post-Godhra terrorist attack riots (official figure 254 Hindus and 790 Muslims died as per Congress Govt. in Parliament in 2005).
Please read "Slumdog Millionaire makes Millionaires at the cost of Slumdogs".
Happy Republic Day to all...
2009 also marks 50 years of His Holiness The Dalai Lama leaving Tibet
and when Cuban dictator Fidel Castro kicked away the American puppet from Cuba.

"...Danny Boyle’s Indian co-director, Loveleen Tandan, may be considered bold, but the duo has exposed the real ugliness of India. The extremist Hindu mobs lynching ghetto Muslims, the underworld kidnapping the children orphaned as a result of their organized pogroms, incapacitating the Muslim boys, teaching them Hindu Bhajans and turning them into beggars while selling the Muslim girls to brothels depicts the sordid and gory side of India, which its regular Bollywood producers hide under the sheen and glamour of “shining India”....etc"
I FEEL A R RAHMAN SHOULD BE DEPORTED TO PAKISTAN. HE WOULD BE VERY HAPPY THERE.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Action, cut... and a portrayal of ugly fiction!
Sir, ~ The film, Slumdog Millionaire, is a pathetic, even sadistic, attempt to tarnish India’s image. The cinematic version is an ugly form of fiction, that inspires despair and not hope. It is being lapped up by unsuspecting people both in India and abroad, who, in their desire to bring Indians into the limelight are actually denigrating the country.
The film ought to have inspired people to aim higher through entrepreneurship and not throw them into the pit of despair by suggesting that only accidental fortune can bring a slum child out of a miserable situation of poverty. A disgusting scene showing Jamaal coming out of a pit of shit just to get an autograph from Amitabh Bacchan should have been edited. And it would have been better had Boyle portrayed the best of India and its achievements towards the end.
When foreigners come to India and take photographs of filth, slums, and the poor, their motive is sadism; they derive pleasure from looking at these visuals. Films like Slumdog Millionaire appeal to the same type of audience who derive morbid pleasure in the misery of those who are less fortunate. There is a scene where a white woman gives money to the poor child and says: ‘’If begging is true India, then giving alms is true American.” And we Indians are still proud about the movie getting Oscar nominations.
In another scene, Anil Kapoor taunts Jamaal on his slum background and the audience guffaws in response. Can we even imagine Amitabh behaving like this in the KBC show? This scene brings out the primitive western instincts, as the saviours of moral uprightness, a colonial hangover that refuses to go and the stereotyping of Indians.
India’s negatives ought not to be exposed to get international awards. Show more filth of India and the Third World and win Golden Globes and Oscars. This is the mantra of the westerners. A movie like Lagaan was not deemed worthy for Oscars simply because it showcased the management skills of Indian villagers, expertise that overwhelmed the whites.
AR Rahman might get the Oscars because he has worked in a Hollywood production. Nothing else. He has composed better music in other films that were worthy of Oscars.

Amjad K Maruf,
Thane, 23 January. "
