SLUM DOG MILLIONAIRE ! ! ! :::;???

What was there for any cultured and self-respecting Indian to dance about and sing "Jai Ho" in that foreign Picture (English) showing an Indian Slum-dog becoming a millionaire in the copy-cat senario of an American show "How to be a Millionaire"! Where is the scope of any self respecting Indian to be proud of it ? Is it because some Indian musician or a song writer joined the 'gang' to Underscore our Indian slum !
The Director was a Britisher; the screen-play- writer - a Britisher ; The Script- writer a Britisher and two others, also Britiser, and finally the film itself is a British film.
I am ready to be the loner and downgrade this film as a shrued commercial trick to exploit the Asian Market at the cost of an Indian back-drop and fooling the innocent and good-hearted Indians. Let the World sing 'jai ho' and dance about... but not the Indians.
Guljar, in my opinion, should not have associated his name in this sad episode.
