Slumdog Millionaire

Anyone who watched movies like Blood Diamond and Lord Of War was in awe at how poorly Humans are treated in that part of the world. Each one of us gasped when families were separated, men shot by child soldiers.

Each one of us that felt these emotions left with a sense of sympathy toward Africa. Those movies won awards too. Were they African films though? NO. They were American.

So the next time you watch Slumdog Millionaire, remember somebody in some other part of the world is probably feeling sorry for us.

We (India) did not win any oscar, except perhaps the Music score of A.R. Rehman. The oscars were won by the the cast and crew of the movie, who are mainly British.

Seriously, stop celebrating the fact that we won an award for having some of the worst living conditions known to man. Instead maybe find a way to fix some of the problems brought out by the movie. Or you can choose to revel in the pity of the world. Your choice.
