hi all,
I don't feel any shame on what i m. I don't undestand, why on the
depiction of Film is a huge slap on India. Its rather truth which everyone has
to accept willingly or forcefully..

I think the what film depicts is a reality/fiction as experienced,understood
and envisioned by the film's creative division. There can be hundred different
realities/fiction as epxerienced and visioned by another human being. And after
all it is a film and instead of making such a hue and cry about it, there are
much more poressing problems that needs to be dealt with. To start with, say
poverty and why don't we start working on that instead of crucify the people
who showed a certain impoverished side of India. The life in slums are very
difficult and life on the streets for million of children remain difficult
while me and you keeping arguing on this and disqualify the hard life
experienced by millions of children and slum dwellers of this country. We
should be cautious that we donot romaticise the experiences of the slum
dwellers and project it as a relaity highly enjoyed by the people. The slums
are unsafe places, with poverty, crimes and other hardships of life. When the
rains hit Mumbai every year, the slums are some of the worst nightmares and we
can really rethink on the romantic ideas of the slums and community living. We
can keep on saying that poverty has decreased by so and so %, but the reality
is that India is largely a poor counry and unless we face that we will never
try to overcome and change this reality. Instead of attacking the film, attack
poverty and change the reality of India so that we can really show to the world
a growing, thriving India trying to find solutions to poverty and other
development challenges instead of crying hoarse that poverty is not that
rampant in India. Who are we kidding? India has malls and flyovers but how many
reach the rural India? how many really have electricity in India? Sitting in
Delhi, we can acute shortages of water, electricity then one can think of rural
India....
Let's fight this, intead of the film...
