'Slumdog' shines with 8 Oscars: 2 for Rahman, one for Pookutty . Do you think that it has created history in the field of Indian cinema?
Niceguy251 says: Yes. 3 Oscars for Indians is a good news, specially in music circle and technical. Movie may be British produced but theme was Indian with lot of focus on India. Same for Pinki too.
LP says: Any FIRST event is named 'creating history'. In that sense, the coveted awards to Indians in any cinema is historic. However, while we rejoice in the recognition from the Academy, and welcome the positive fall-outs, both on our national self-image as well as the foreign attention, let us not be overtly euphoric. Indian Talent is on the ascendancy in almost every field. This visibility is partly due to our decisions since 1991 to integrate our economy and trade with the global markets. In the era of interdependence and global trade, the developed world-read US in particular, recognizes the income shift that is taking place to regions like Chindia. Didn't a Chinese girl win last year's beauty pageant? Didn't Indian girls win a series of them since 1994? Our girls didn't become prettier overnight since 1994...
