I agree with the author. In India, its almost a curse to have been born poor...look at their living conditions. The Urban poor (and thats what Slumdog portrays)are the worse of the lot. All that our Govt looks at are votebanks...if they want to improve society, improve the infrastructure of our cities, improve the services we offer our citizens. Urban poor need to live like human beings, not animals.
