I have not seen the film yet, but have read many reviews. My conclusion based on them is that the western world (British director - the same people who ruled us for over 150 years) has made an excellent piece of poverty porn out of India. The projection of Mumbai and India as a whole is slum (as if there are no homeless people in the developed countries). Using the word dog (even if some one defends that its a newly coined word = slum + underdog = slumdog) is derogatory.

QUOTE 1) This topic does not have any relation to "Hinduism" but the member in question has in the past created controversies about it and made personal comments/attacks against me when I tried to put my views 4) No harm was intended to any one during this discussion (even though some preferred to ridicule my opinion and some made personal attacks) QUOTE Magar ek ignorable topic ke liye bhi 1-2 members ne rude personal comment kare. wo bhi jab unko kuchh nahin kaha gaya. Who made personal attacks and ridiculous remarks please show me, with reference to this thread and only this thread. If that was some place else, do not let its spill to other topics, Please. If there are issues to be sorted, sort those. There was nothing wrong in this thread to divert attention to something that was said some place else or not even concerned with this thread. - Just another gummy bear fan
