And only these slum-dogs will take our nation closer to the greatness, which India has been aspiring to achieve since independence and truly deserves it.

Indian slumdog in AmericaBy: Dr.G.Srinivasan | Wednesday , 25 Feb '09 5:31:35 AM Reply | Forward Indians can be blind in India -- the net result is the biggest slum in the world !!!!! But the same slum mentality cannot be carried to any other place. Americans and the europeans have developed because of the overall development for many .
