Why Slumdog Millionaire is unbelievable
The single most important fact of poverty is the loss of dignity in the individual

About AR Rahman, we know that he was a born Hindu. His parents converted into Islam in the 70s while he was young. He had gotten ill and some Muslim guru saved him, and hence the conversion. It seems religion is something like so easy. Hindus believe in rebirths. We know that our this life is not all. We are souls who travel and take rebirths. And hence a Hindu can never fear for his life when it comes to fight the wrong, or to protect the dharma. He proved that he was never a real Hindu. But it was his personal decision, I won’t get much into that… When I read the review of many foreigners, they were feeling pity. I am sure if the movie makers keep a begging bowl in front of the movie theatres in the West, they will become Millionaires every passing day :) :) As for the title of the movie also tells that: The book on which this movie is based is named Q&A: Questions and Answers. The movie makers changed the name to ‘Slumdog’, defaming the slum dwellers of Mumbai and India as ‘dogs’. Can someone tell them that the people who live may be proverbial dog’s life are real people with self-respect? Not to get surprised at a news report in HT recently – the people from Nehru Nagar slum said they won’t watch this movie because it shows their life, they would rather watch other Bollywood movies which will give them a change in mood. Only those will enjoy the movie who are naïve and haven’t seen any poor person in years…
