It is indeed a proud moment for the nation as Rahman and the Slumdog team sweeps 8 Oscars this year.I'm sure every Indian walks with his head a little bit higher today.
But amidst all the Slumdog glory we tend to forget the other very significant film that was honored.The documentary Pinki Smiles based on a touching true story of a little girl in a village in UP.It is n should be equally acknowleged and accepted.
Also i don't agree with those people who say that India's poverty-striken slums have been publicized to evoke sympathy of the western world and that's what is selling our films.
I guess its time we got used to hearing the truth about ourselves.A nation whose soul lies in its streets,slums and its underdogs is our stark n brutal reality.
We'd rather have our voices heard,our stories told than sit and crib about our struggles for survival.
All i can say an honour well-deserved and long due for the Mozart of our times.
