this month saw the demolition of the slums of rubina(latika) and azharuddin( salim) of the slumdog fame.one minute glory and harsh reality slaps your face!.the country lauded them and fostered them in their arms . indian media went berserk and made us feel the children's victory was india's win.the international media showered praise of adoration for their exceptional performance.but as they say success has many fathers and failure is an orphan.they tasted success by putting india in the oscar map but failed without a shelter in their head.
false promises were made by the filmmakers that the child actors and their families would be nestled in brick and mortar homes.they seemed to be lost in the oscar glory and forgetten the efforts of the slum minors who made them reach the peak of the oscar mountain
this is india dear friends where the lines of stardom get erased easily and history of achievment gets shelved forever for them who made them in the first place
jai ho!
