  • Hey great point BushMushkijai! Indians who live in india don't have a clue abt what westerners think about india thats true too! Now they know!

  • I agree with u but there are beautiful historic places, temples, gardens, hill stations so india has beauty too.I lived there and I lived in the city. I think the movie should have showed BOTH sides of india b/c I have noticed that western cinema only shows the negative side of my country most of the time and I hear only bad stereotypes from nonindians abt it and I get sick of it!

  • Death Penalty to Danny Boyle. Shoot that bastard and his accomplice(s).

    China or Brazil would have done the same thing.

  • exactly

  • May be USA should start eliminating the reservations for native Indians first and help them integrate into the mainstream society.

    Oh, and again may be we should stop invading every other nation in the world and looting their resources, please come back then and comment about what people should do

  • Lack of military innovation, lol what a joke, we had some of the most powerful empires that ever existed in this world, even the western standard for vandalism, Alexander the Great, got his ass busted when he came down towards India.

    So go and improve your knowledge of history before you speak

  • Imagine, if they have not selected at least two Indians for Oscar, Indians opinion about this movie would have been different. It doesn't mean that Indians are not talented, but for the west, the important thing is to get support from Indians for projecting Indias poverty by throwing two pieces of meat to divert the attention. Now who are the Idiots?

  • Now you could read the latest news that China makes low quality medicines in and selling in African countries with a label says mad in India. The intention is same. Bringing down Indias image as much as they can.

  • Indians who live in India do not know what is the opinion of foreigners about India, especially Europeans and Americans (Now all Indians understood Australians general mindset about India !!).

  • The movie is popular for Indians poverty and filth. Nobody care about A.R. Rahman or a Rasool Pookuty. Only idiotic Indian minds can be proud of about Slum dog Millionaire. The English crooks cannot go to China and make a film about their poverty. Every country in the world has got slums. What is the speciality of Indian slums?
