slumdog- is this the right wordBy: gaurav pandey | 25-Mar-2009Reply | Forwardslumdog millionaire gets seven oscars, it must be proud feeling for indians and A.R. Rehman. But nobody even thought that the word used for people living in slumsareas in india is "slumdogs". isnt it a insult for poor indian childen, the movie could have been named as "slumboy millionaire in contrast no body can dare to say "dog" word for poors in US, england,russia, china and many more. its a shame for our country. people like mayavati,communits and other NGO groups who work for the poor can appetite this word,"slum dog", even the media who is said to be fourth piilar of democracy didnt said anything rather used it for there benefit and glorified it and even our actors make money from this so i think that words like this shouldnt be used, we as the citizens of india should now look that this thing doesnt haapen in future and think that meda would help in this
