The truth is that we are finding it difficult to accept the reality of Slumdog Millionaire as we have more real millionaires than the Slumdog Millionaire!
If you are one of those so called Indian Millionaires, then you are unlucky here, as the lines that follows are surely going to hurt you!
It seems as if sixty years of independence haven't given us enough time to bring equality in the society. The day this great nation got freedom, perhaps no one might have anticipated that our beautiful neighbour would be turned into thousands of slums! Neither could people predict the worst that might follow. As the fruit of great struggle begun to ripe, some of our high class netizen's pie have staretd accumulating more and more area within it and the seed of disparity have been planted. And the years of misgovernence and neglect have brought us to the stark bleak reality thjat we are having today.
And sixty years later, when Mr. Boyle somehow landed here to check the reality, we could not hide our thousand acres of slums and its unfortunate inhabitants, and this is how we felt insulted.
In fact we are insulted so much so that the audience across the globe got another chance to have a hearty laugh at us.
Sadly, we ordinary peolpe are carrying the weight of our democracy on our head only to be crushed by its own wight- while the so called high handed class of the society are enjoying all the benefits our democracy. And when the people across the globe are touched by our sad reality, our so called class have refused to accept the reality!
If Danny Boyle's actions have truely depicted the Indian scenario in such a poor and unimaginable state, then why not prohibit giants like Bill Gates from landing on Indian slums another time, or else, we can go on cleasing our slums so that the world would not have another chance to have a peek at our sad reality !
Unfortunately, our class disticntion have some sililarity though. While our unlucky netizens are going through endless nightmares in slums, the truth is that our upper class netizens of this great nation are also spending speepless nights- finding it difficult the hide the easy earn cash. Unlucky enough, the remnants of the wealth slipping away in foregn countries have begun to haunt this time. And if Mr Advani sticks to it's promise to bring back the $1,400 billion cash (Rs 70,00,000 crore) hidden in Swiss Banks, then we would not have to revisit Mr Boyle's milionaire again as we would have thousands of millionaires fished out from our neighbor's ponds !
Untill then, more and more of our neighbors would be turned in slums overshadowed by skyscrapers, our so called billionaire -millionaire class would go on punching Mr Boyle, and the great leaders and administrators of this nation would go on singing-
Jai Ho ! Jai Ho !
. . . . . . . . . . . . and untill then, the slumdog millionair of this great nation would be pushed into the corner to weep !
