Millionaire from Slum

Slumdog Millionaire !

A.R.Rehman’s song and music in this is not even matching against his other music’s average quality.

Resul Pookutty’s acceptance speech echoes my ears "History is been handed-over to me…….my country and my civilization…” Were these words required or was it necessary?

Slumdog Millionaire won Oscar award for the best film.
There were better movies than Slumdog Millionaire; isn’t’ it?

Why we beg too much for international recognition? First of all it is not an Indian film; it is one hundred percent British film which is made up of Indian cast, British technical crews (up to 85%) and Indian technical crews (up to 15%). If a Hindi film is produced and shot with American Casts will it be considered as an American film?

As an Indian I am happy that these two individuals from India were able to get Oscar awards; absolutely on the basis that it is just like any other prestigious awards.

Fitna

Fitna - the movie. .

The short movie excerpts from religious texts of Islam religion; which projected in hatred and in wrong way. Film describes the creeping tyranny of islamization and radicalization.

Dutch MP; Geert Wilders made this film and he was invited by Independence Party in UK to show his film in the House of Lords. He was denied entry to UK and was sent back from Heathrow airport in Feb2008. Dutch MP is under trail for inciting hatred in his own country.

Port of Entry - India (a reality)

Location: Trivandrum Immigration Center (Trivandrum Airport)
Cast: A Dubai Based Hotel Bar Owner Mr.A (Indian) -and- Egypt Immigrant holding British passport Mr.B -and- few security staff and travelers

Story - Mr.A & Mr.B traveling in emirates flight from Dubai to Trivandrum. They abused and misbehaved with fellow passengers. Women were targeted. Flight landed in Trivandrum International Airport. At the immigration counter they had received preference to get immigration clearance first. Other fellow passengers who traveled in same flight objected for this special treatment. Security staff came into picture. Mr.A & Mr.B had assaulted security officer and brought him down on the floor. Immigrations counter operations was disrupted. Alerted local police station; police appeared in the scene. Immigration cleared and police took them to nearest police station. Police questioned them; after few minutes lawyer came. Police released them with minor charges. Intelligence Bureau questioned state police/govt for this negligence. Enquiry started.

My mistake; this is not a story. This is a real thing happened this week in India (Trivandrum - Port of Entry).

If it would have been in any other countyy (lets say an Indian in place of Mr.A & Mr.B) like in USA, or UK or Any Gulf Country or Europe or Canada or Russia.

Will he be alive to get immigration clearance in first place for hitting security staff and for disrupting immigrations work or will he be in the destination country to enjoy his business or pleasure trip?

Government must understand one thing; if you are strong, then India is strong; if India is strong then Indians are strong ! We are not idiots. A shame for India and for Indians!
By the way; Why gods own country needs all these security and immigration process; isn’t it? After all Kerala is owned and looked after by gods! Nothing to worry!
