slumdog millionaire

Is it a glory or a shame for India ?

The world is going ga-ga over the film. However there is a growing minority of people not happy with this choice & i count myself with them. So many arguments have already been published for & against this that i really dont want to deal with it again. But today i heard a very unique reasoning from one of my colleague which begs your attention. Was Slum Dog really such a great film or there are some other motives behind its success ? Has it got anything to do with the recent 26/11 catastrophy of India ? As per my friend (i should inform here that he had predicted some kind of magnificient event happening in India after the 26/11 tragedy), Indian public which is always so much in its own dream world or good & bad were suddenly woken up from its sleep by the blood & booms of the Mumbai terrorist attacks. They suddenly became aware of the in-aptitude of our government & their activism resulted in the ouster of Indias home minister as well as Chief Minister & Home Minister of Maharashtra State. This was a shock to our political establishment. If the trend continues then it would became difficult to do the work in te way in which they are accustomed to. Remember, India is a country of a billion people, & if they are awake, there is no way they can be contained by anyone. Certainly the political class could never risk such a thing. Some thing need to be done urgently to divert their attention. What about a spectacular Cricket series win. That was achieved in Sri Lanks. Next big influencer is Cinema. So what about an Oscar. Well we have got multiples now because of this film. Next ?? another spectacular series win against New Zealand in New Zealand. I would like to put my bet on it. Sound promising in view of this theory. What do you think ?
