February 28, 2009

Slumdog Millionaire or Slumdog Crorepati however you want to refer to it has been on the headlines for quite awhile now. The winner of 8 Oscars, the movie has created hype around the world.
The movie portrays poverty, discrimination and corruption in India. Similarly we, the people in Bangladesh are victims of the same three problems depicted in the movie. Slumdog Millionaire is now a symbol of hope for the underprivileged in the third world countries. The popularity of the movie made everyone else in the world realize the issues faced in India and the hardship of the poor people. This also puts Bangladesh on the map as it is India’s neighbour.
Slumdog Millionaire to third world countries is like the light at the end of the tunnel.
