    Slumdog Millionaire – Is there a cultural agenda?
    I have kept quiet on the slumdog debate for a long time because of a lot of conflicting thoughts that I needed to sort out. What started off as a response to Avdesh’s well-articulated comment (#67, 79) on Medha’s post has turned into this current post.

    0312. I shall remember.
    The shouts. The cries. Vande Mataram! I trained my eyes onto an oncoming group of people. Dressed in chaste white Shalvar Kameezes, donning white skull caps, flowing beards, they were devout Muslims. Then I noticed the placards. “Pakistan is a Terrorist State”. Indian Flags aloft. The Group was highly animated. Pretty Large number by any standards. Raza Academy,...
