We are being shown as slumdogs. Now we appear to be happy because the movie has got oscar nomination.



This is typical western strategy. Glorify any event to show us as slumdogs.



Ban this movie in INDIA

Nobody has called you a slumdog. It's your inferiority complex. I can name hundreds of Bollywood movies with titles such as papi, awaara, bechara, shri 420. Does that make you all that? There are hundreds of hollywood movies which show the dark side of US and nobody is complaining. Indians cannot take criticism.

Not so good
by veerasankar guruswamy on Jan 22, 2009 11:26 PM  | Hide replies

I saw the film but not too impressed. Apart from Masterpiece from AR.Rahman (damn good), nothing special in the movie.

But A.R. Rahman should get the Oscar.....
All the best.

Slumdog Millionaire
by adityabibikar on Jan 22, 2009 11:09 PM

This movie directed by British but all castes are indian. A R Rehman is best music director & also winning Golden globe awards.



Definite Oscar award !

Nominations for Oscars: Achievement In Music Written For Motion Pictures (Original Song)



Down to Earth from Wall-E

Jai Ho from Slumdog Millionaire

O Saya from Slumdog Millionaire



Out of these Wall-E song is good but not good enough as compared with Jai Ho...



But best of the best is "O Saya"



I damn sure this song will win Oscar award for "Achievement In Music Written For Motion Pictures (Original Song)"

SRK & BIG B does not offer this movie.

Indians must change
by messenger on Jan 22, 2009 11:01 PM  | Hide replies

Doesn't matter where we live, but Indians in general should improve our basic etiquette. Till then we will be called slum dogs.

1. Bathe everyday, if possible more than once a day, we have a tendency to sweat a lot.
2. Do not pass gas or burp in public
3. If you have not washed your hair, do not apply oil! It smells worse
4. Do not have bollywood sangeet as loud ringtones
5. Do not forget to buy deodrants, gift everyone in your family a good deodrant!
6. Have haircuts regularly
7. Go to dentists regularly, and use a mouth freshner daily
8. change socks everyday, feet smells worse than mouth

9. Do not talk loud on your cellphones in a public place
10. Do not break the order when in a queue
11. If your kids are naughty and loud it is not adorable to everyone around, do not smile & laugh and look for others approval instead teach your kids public manners from childhood.

1)"We have a tendency to sweat a lot"
Is that our fault or the ambience is reponsible for it, bring any foreigner he will sweat more than us.
2) "Do not pass gas or burp in public"
This statement can't be generalised for Indians only infact all uncouths do this whereas mannered people avoid this as far as possible.
3) Again 3rd point is not applicable to only few "bunch of nuts" Indians.
4) Why not to have bollywood sangeet, even bollywood music is appreciated by the world now (check AR Rahman Golden globe award)
5) Many people uses deodrant and many don't but in general Indians can't be blamed for foul odour.
6) Ghajini style chalega kya for haircut ;)
7) gud advice ! you should try this. You really utters shit!
8) I do as most of the Indians also, but few are uncultured (what you can do about those...)

Regarding sludog issue :
The name is derived from "UnderDog" of slum and basically representing any indian to be specific!

Even then you will be called a colored jackal unless you leave the following pro-british/american/western habits.

1. Leave licking the shoe of western uncivilized persons - as John Carlyle himself admitted about his own race.

2. Leave the doggy and slavery habit to appease your uncivilized western bosses. Preach bathing and washing sermon to them for whom it is an occasional celebration only not for Indians.

3. Tell your western bosses to leave the habit of pressing gear/accelerator and brake simultaneously. They should not campaign for dirty sexual habit and AIDS simultaneously. They should not arrange for mass murder and holy mass prayer simultaneously.

4. Tell your western bosses that Indians are the precious jewels rapped by shabby clothes whereas the your western bosses are nothing but bogus/useless hypocrites covered/masked under precious well cut clothes.

British have cleverly picked up the divisive factors of Indians and adopted divide and rule policy. Thus they are responsible for partition of India and creation of homeless mass which led to formation of slums. They have taken the advantage of Indian benevolence to crookedly overpower her to squeeze out her last drop of wealth and now showcasing her poverty to every nook and corner of the world. Only British can do it because they have it in their gene/blood.
