Jai Ho...

The heated TV debates on Slumdog Millionaire don't just seem to stop. But you don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that:

1. Indian poverty does indeed sell in the west.
2. Indians are very touchy when it comes to poverty. As one participant on a TV debate pointed out, what Danny Boyle should do is to sell this movie to the Indians, because as far they go, poverty simply doesn't exist.
3. A R Rahman is a genius with or without an oscar.

I heard about this book a lot from some people I know who have done narmada pradakshina.
 
The book is good if one is able to filter few strings from it. For example, references to tea, cigarettes
