Slumdog Millionaire is about to be declared the best movie of the year. However most Indians hate the movie because it shows them the reality that they are unable and unwilling to see. The India that exists in the minds of the minds of Indians does not really exist

Talk to an Indian, any Indian, and he or she will talk to you about India the Superpower–convinced that India has already reached stardom because of its humongous IT industry and 6 Billionaires. Try to poke the bubble and be ready for a volatile reaction, abuse, and even threats.

Try to remind an Indian about the reality of the “IT sector” (glorified call centers) and take your life in your own hands. Let them know that the “IT industry”  is only $42 Billion, a drop in the ocean that effects only 6 million people in the land of the cow, and be ready for a death sentence.

Bollywood movies are not filmed in India anymore, because Indians do not want to see the slums—most Indians have thus become oblivious to them, they ignore the penury stricken population and the poverty that makes the lives of millions hell on earth. Too busy blaming outside powers for their endemic problems, Indian politicians have a favorite whipping boy–Pakistan.  India intoxicated by meager success is blind to real self-portrait of caste infested penury and balkanization

“Think of the considerateness of the city, its entire superiority to trifles, its disregard of all those things we spoke of so proudly when we were founding our [ideal] city; we said that, except from altogether extraordinary natures, no one could turn out a good man unless his earliest years were given to noble games, and he gave himself wholly to noble pursuits. Is it not sublime how this city tramples all such things under foot, and is suprememly indifferent as to what life a man has led before he enters politics? If only he asserts his zeal for the multitude, it is ready to honour him.” (Pg. 254, The Republic, Translation by Lindsay, 1954, London: JM Dent & Sons)

The best movie of 2008 did poorly in India because it showed the reality of India. Indians did not want to see reality, so they hated the movie and all it had to show. India at bottom of world’s hungriest countries: Scores worse than Barkino Faso in the list of the hungriest nations on the planet

PRETORIA (Reuters) – There’s an irony behind complaints that Oscar contender “Slumdog Millionaire” recycles cliches about impoverished India: it’s based on a book by not only an Indian, but a high-level ambassador for the country. Vikas Swarup, whose novel “Q&A” became the basis for British director Danny Boyle’s rags-to-riches drama about a Mumbai slum kid, is also India’s deputy high commissioner to South Africa.

India has a few blind spots. It does not know about the blind spots. There is no one to show her the blind spots. India, a youthful country overrun by youngsters eking out a subsistence living in the mirage of Bollywood is unable to look at itself with any semblance of realism. A star struck destitute and impecunious populace is proud of evanescent and unattainable trophies, venerating educational institutions it can only brag about (never get admitted to), Billionaires it can worship on statistic charts and luxuries that it can dream about.

Despite living in one of the world’s poorest countries by many measures, Indian middle classes love to fantasize about a beautiful and peaceful country all around them that is growing at much the same breakneck pace as the Indian economy itself was until very recently. Mention the millions of destitute peasants and their eyes usually glaze over: you will be beseeched to look at the dynamic information technology corridors of the country, the blazing economic growth and ballooning savings across the corporate and individual sectors.

There is much to hate in this film, and it certainly doesn’t appear as a “feel-good” venture by a long shot. Still what it brings to the table in terms of realism as well as presenting vast vignettes of unintended comedy through the use of mixed metaphors makes the experience worthwhile. In particular, I heartily recommend the film to the Indian middle classes and in particular to anyone still harboring communist sympathies in the country. Asia Times. Slumdog communists By Chan Akya

Inebriated by blindness towards a the goal of superpower status this populace is unable to see the deep cavities within its boundaries. Young xenophobic India votes for those that are hegemonistic and autochthonous. Its leadership impervious of the needs of the penurious is focused on expansionism and destabilizing its neighbors. It behaves like crack-addicts overwhelmed by blind hatred for Buddhists (the real ones who are not Hindu), Dalits, Christians and Muslims–this leadership doesn’t have a clue of what the white world thinks of Indians– unavoidable supplicators at best and disposable computer coolies at worst!

How Buddhism was exterminated from South Asia? 600BC-400AD Replacing Hinduism in Buddhist lands: The Hindu extremists use the Safron Swastika flag instead of the tri-colored flag of India. (see Hindu unity dot org) Extremist Hindus show power using the Swastika in triple entendre–as an ancient Hindu symbol, reverence for Hitler & sign of Anti-Western Indian hatred. Many want to use the Swastika as the Indian flag.

India is behaving a like a pumped up balloon Michelin mascot; pumped by the Americans who need crutches to needle China; pumped up by the British who cannot fight the good war in Afghanistan and expect India to clean up the mess that they have made.

The world is strapped with an unimpressive Indian Prime Minister who delivers written speeches without passion and without any moral convictions. A henpecked Indian Prime Minister has pointed to a “foreign hand” a pointed finger at “Pakistan and or Bangladesh” which itself is a euphemism for Muslims and Islam.

Nehru with all his faults and infatuation with Socialism at least had the ability to make a speech. Indira Gandhi for all her frailties could handle herself and present a positive image of India. Dr. Manmohan Singh makes the imbecilic Pakistani President look like a giant. Pranab Mukherjee makes the low IQ Gilani look like Einstein. What is wrong with a “democracy” that cannot produce leaders?

For what it shows above all else is that the most important ingredient of any emerging economy is the dynamics of development. Political and religious differences matter little when the basic impetus to growth and progress is missing. This is precisely the case in India today where the government gets away with making welfare payments but without infrastructure investments; where communist sympathizers monopolize the distribution of government funds to the point where waste is a national pastime and the frustrations of the underclass are ever increasing.

It is not a big exaggeration to highlight the importance of this film for Indians. That said, it is highly likely that Indians would themselves like to pretend that the film was never made, particularly if it fails to win any further accolades. For that reason alone, perhaps this film deserves to secure an Academy Award. For how many other times can these awards actually claim to have to reset the course of a billion people?Asia Times.

The poor of India, the Dalits, the scheduled classes, the Christians, the Naxalites and the Muslims left behind the onward march towards…march towards what? No one know. Ask the irredentist Akhand Bhartis who hated the vivisection of Mother India. Wars with all her neighbors. All this for the reabsorption of all states surrounding it into a huge monolith which may have existed for 80 years under the reign of Ashoka. Many question whether the mythical king ever existed. Ashoka’s kingdom is the Nirvana of India. Few Indians know that Ashoka is as fugacious as his mythical kingdom. Did Ashoka exist? Did Pandit Radhakantta create him for James Princep in 1837. Ashoka’s name first appeared in British journals when the White man was writing “Indian history” (James Princep was the first to coin the term “Ashoka). But don’t tell the pundits (the real ones, not the talking heads on Fox and CNN)–thier entire life depends on churning out the youth who believe in Akhand Bharat.

A brianwashed nation unable to comprehend simple facts like–if one cannot control the current states, how can it control hundreds of millions that are forced into “India”–especially if the million are belligerent and don’t wnat to be part of the mess called “India”. However these are details that are not mentioned in a nation that resembles Weimar Germany–fed on a steady dose of hatred, xenophobia and hostility towards real and perceived enemies.

PROLOGUE

Stretched out on a shabby makeshift cot next to piles of rubble and dirt, he could be any of Mumbai’s 2.5million slum children.

In fact, the scrawny young boy is the star of one of the biggest films of the year. Slumdog Millionaire is expected to win a clutch of Oscars on Sunday for its uplifting story of a boy from the slums who wins the jackpot on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?

The movie has grossed £70million worldwide, made British director Danny Boyle the darling of Hollywood and turned lead actors Dev Patel and Frieda Pinto into big names.

Disease: Rubina stands over a blocked drain near her house

But there is no sign of life imitating art for two of the youngest actors, who many feel are the real stars of the film.  

They are still living in squalor on the outskirts of Mumbai, despite assurances from Boyle that they were paid well.

He and producer Christian Colson said the child actors were paid ‘three times the amount of an annual adult salary’ for what amounted to a month’s work, although he has refused to give an actual figure.

Despite his claim, ten-year-old Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail, who plays the lead character’s brother Salim, still lives with his family in extreme poverty.

Their home is a flimsy structure made of tarpaulins and blankets in the overcrowded Behrampada shanty area, where rats crawl around in daylight and sewage runs untreated as children play barefoot.

Washing is done outside, using a bowl of cloudy water and surrounded by piles of rubbish.

At other times, Azharuddin sits with his father and mother on rotting blocks of wood and dusty matting that seem to form the bed that the three of them share.

His mother Shameem Ismail, who is blind in one eye, said: ‘He’s supposed to be the hero in the movie, but look how he’s living. It’s a zero.

‘We need money and help now. It is hard living like this. I am worried that after the Oscars are over they will forget us and no one will be interested.’

Starting the day: Azharuddin washes his face in a bowl of cloudy water, surrounded by piles of rubbish

In fact, the family is now worse off than they were when Slumdog Millionaire was filmed, because the illegal hut they were living in was demolished by the authorities.

His father Mohammed Ismail usually brings in 1,500 to 3,000 rupees (£20 to £40) a month selling scrap wood, but he has tuberculosis and often cannot work.

Ismail’s role as the young Salim has captivated millions across the world

Azharuddin’s parents had hoped the film would be their ticket out of the slums.

Instead, its success has made them realise just how little their children had been paid.

Rubina Ali, nine, who plays the young version of Latika, the film’s heroine, lives a few hundred yards away. Her shack is brightly coloured – but a disease-ridden open sewer runs close by.

Her father, Rafiq Ali Kureshi, a carpenter, broke his leg during filming and has been out of work since.

In a recent interview he said: ‘I am very happy the movie is doing so well but it is making so much money and so much fame and the money they paid us is nothing. They should pay more.’

Azharuddin and Rubina are the only two of the film’s six main child actors to come from such a poor background.

Around 65million people in India – a quarter of the urban population – live in slums.

More than half of Mumbai’s 19million population live in the shanty towns that sprawl out of the city.

The £10million film, which follows the story of a boy born in the slums who can answer all the questions on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? correctly because of his life experiences, has been an unlikely box office hit.

It has scooped awards including four Golden Globes and seven Baftas, and is nominated for ten Oscars.

Sunday’s ceremony will be a lavish affair, but a spokesman for the film last night refused to say if Azharuddin and Rubina would attend.

Boyle and Colson have strenuously denied claims that any of the children have been exploited.

In a statement, they said they ‘paid painstaking and considered attention to how Azharuddin and Rubina’s involvement in the film could be of lasting benefit over and above the payment they received for their work’.

The pair added that the children, who have never received formal eduction, had been enrolled in school since last June at the production company’s expense until they are 18.

They attend Aseema, a non-profit English-language school for underprivileged children. Many who attend need counselling and substantial help and guidance for even the most basic life skills.

On one blackboard, the lesson of the day read: ‘I must close my mouth when I eat.’

Azharuddin and Rubina will also receive a substantial lump sum when they complete their education, although Boyle declined to reveal the figure for fear of putting them at risk.

Boyle also said that additional money was in place to cover health care and emergencies.

Mr Ismail, however, has been dismissive of the efforts.

He has said: ‘There is none of the money left. It was all spent on medicines to help me fight TB. We feel the kids have been left behind by the film. They have told us there is a trust fund but we know nothing about it and have no guarantees.’

On screen: Rubina, centre, and Azharuddin, right, in the film Slumdog Millionaire

Colson said there was ‘a conscious decision not to shower’ the children with cash because they could not handle it ‘psychologically and practically’.

He said that when Azharuddin’s home was demolished, money was wired to the family to find a new home.

And he said it was feared the parents’ commitment to ensuring the children had a proper education had waned.

The filmmakers also claim they have now agreed to buy apartments for the two children and allow the families to move in, with the stipulation that they will not own the property unless the youngsters complete their education.

Tonight, however, a spokesman for the film was unable to provide further details about the apartment plans.

Charity’s anger

Slumdog Millionaire faces fresh controversy after implicating a real charity in the abuse of street children.

In the film, a criminal gangmaster pretends to rescue street children, taking them in an orange minibus with ‘Hope’ emblazoned on the side.

The children are then forced into begging and prostitution.

But the real-life Hope Foundation also uses orange vans with the word ‘Hope’ on them to help care for street children in Calcutta.

It has received hundreds of emails from people confusing it with the fictional charity.

The charity’s ambassador, ITV newsreader Andrea Catherwood, said: ‘The situation is frustrating and deeply disappointing.’

Celador Films, which made the movie, said there had been ‘no intention to imply a connection with the Hope Foundation’.
