As Danny Boyle himself states, the film is British, not Indian. He clearly distances himself from associating it with India because his main purpose was to show life in the slums (ugh!) from a British (Western) perspective, to entertain fellow Westerners. From the Indian standpoint, I feel it is a very flawed film that sends a very negative picture of India to the world. Throughout the film there isn’t one character who would say something kind to the protagonist who goes through a virtual hell. In the entire film the camera dwells on shit, garbage, menacing faces, and treachery of those who have power over poor Jamal.

An excellent article about how the mall culture is pervading the modernising India of call centers, outsourcing units and software wizards. Worth a look!

After the riots that killed many in Bombay Citizens for peace was created to maintain communal amity and brotherhood in the city. This article is about a message from CfP for the world to look into the causes of the Gujarat carnage where many died in an allegedly state sponsored program. Have a look!

An excellent article about how arts is not merely the purview of practitioners of art. And how it is fundamentally the purview of any civilized society. Worth a read.
